Cannot read property 'history' of undefined (useHistory hook of React Router 5)

Note to other people that run into this problem and already have wrapped the component with Router component. Make sure that Router and the useHistory hook are imported from the same package. The same error can be thrown when one of them are imported from react-router and the other one from react-router-dom and the package versions of those packages don't match. Don't use both of them, read about the difference here.
