The addition given between geography and history under the same perspective or approach, looking, under that union, to explain the phenomena occurred in a given space without separating them from the context in which they happened, is what is known as the Geohistorical Approach, which Ramón Tovar for 1996 explained as "the differentiated organization of space structured by human groups within determined historical conditions" as well, explained Tovar, that geohistory "addresses the dynamics of spaces and explains the differentiated organization within a certain historical condition. " Now, taking this into account, we can affirm that the spaces, as they are currently, are no more than a consequence of realities and historical moments, an affirmation that Tovar supports when explaining that "the present is a succession of accumulated times" which translates , to what has been mentioned: the space we inhabit is the result of the transformations that have been taking place, obeying the needs that man has been claiming, since, man is the one who inhabits the spaces and transforms them into a function of the satisfaction of their economic necessities, in their majority, be by territorial factors or, by extraction of natural resources.
Now, of course, the concept of the Geohistorical Approach seems important to ask why it arises. However, it is necessary to mention that geography, as a science of relations, was not being studied in that way, on the contrary, it had remained stagnant in the study of immutable and disconnected spaces of reality, where each element of study was seen in a parceled way and not related to each other, which has mutilated the scope of geography imprisoning it in repetitive, memorized and tedious classes, making it impossible for geography, under this method of study, to be able to encompass socio-spatial phenomena which is able to explain. This is why, then, that such a Geohistorical approach arises, under the need for integration that existed between both disciplines, to explain the multiple relationships given between man and his environment.
In this sense, the geohistorical approach is located in time and space, thus being much broader, since it is subject to geographical, ethnographic and human changes, studying the whole and its social, economic and social transformations. cultural, its parts, since in the geohistoria the phenomena are approached from the Totality, where the Everything modifies the Part and this is modified in relation to the All. The main philosophical foundation of geohistoricism is dialectical materialism, where it finds in its principles the universal concatenation, relationship and connection, interdependence, coexistence and development or dynamism. Principles of the dialectic that as a philosophical foundation of Geohistory allow this approach to study in a complementary way the phenomena that occur, with the complexity that characterizes them.
