Is History a science

Although history considers and deals with facts, it also takes peoples opinions which may be based on facts but mostly may be a bit changed. Unlike science, history lacks predictive value and although it is a valuable record of happenings it can not be considered as science as a whole.  History seems to revolve around the use of evidence-based methods to discern the truth however unlike science 
which definite, Hstory events are always open to
 interpretation. Science can be measures, history cannot. And as the famous saying says ' history is written by the winner'; you never know if the sources of history is true unless you have evidence. For science there is always evidence. in conclusion i believe that History cannot be a science but science can be history.
