React-router: difference between history.push and location.href in flux app?

I'm a bit new with React, react-router, and flux, and I'm curious. I'm curious, what's the difference between the 2 types of link click handling. My feeling is location.href may "reset" the application, like if page was reloaded. Is that right or wrong? And what's the difference between the 2 methods? Cause I'm not always able to use history.push in the application.

Thanks a lot in advance!

The HTML5 History API gives developers the ability to modify a website's URL without a full page refresh

whereas location.href will cause the page to refresh
