I think history greater immerses the reader in the world. I enjoy getting a nice background as to why an event is so significant etc.
Personally, I prefer character development to draw me into a story, and it's also my strong point during writing. My backgrounds and history usually aren't worth crap, but I think I do fairly well with character development. Which probably explains why I've fooled people into thinking I was a girl for over three months on Materia Magica...

No, I WON'T go into that.
