Historic refers to something important or significant in history.
• The signing of the Declaration of Independence was a historic event (It was a very important event)
• We visited a historic building that played a crucial role in the country's history
• The moon landing in 1969 was a historic achievement for humanity
Historical relates to anything that is connected to history or the past. It does not necessarily imply importance
• The museum has a collection of historical artifacts (They’re from the past but not necessarily significant)
• Shakespeare’s works are considered historical literature (Historical literature refers to literature about or related to history)
• The film was praised for its historical accuracy in depicting 18th-century life
PS, use historic for something significant or famous in history.
Use historical when simply talking about things related to history or the past, without emphasizing importance
