Odd question perhaps but what's the difference between history and heritage?

I guess there are many ways to define the two (depending on what you want to talk about...), but I would say History is anything that happened in the past, whereas Heritage is a person's inheritance or birthright by birth? I don't know... hope it helped a little though.
