  Link doesn't trigger a full page refresh compared to using an a tag which would reset the application state. Normally, you'd always want to use Link for navigating throughout different pages in your application. I believe useHistory is used for programmatically redirecting users to a different page where you can't use Link. Like inside a code block:

  const history = useHistory();
  
  const register = async () => {
   await register(user).then((username) => {
    history.push(`/profile/${userName}`);
   })
  }
