Uncountable nown
I know that the word "history" is uncountable noun, so I thought I should make a sentence as " We can learn about foreign countries' history."
However I found a sentence, " Most national anthems go far back on nations' histories." in my dictionary.
Does it mean I have to write " We can learn about foreign countries' histories."?
I'm so confused. Could somebody help me?
Thank you.
