Question

what do you think about the statement “history repeats itself”? Do you think this is accurate? What information guides you to this conclusion?

Answer 1

History is the record of events that happened in the past. Every country or nation has its own history. And the world itself has its history. If we analyze closely all those historical events have something in common whether it is war, peace, progress or revolution, they all have some common characteristics. They have a general tendency to repeat themselves. For example, we may consider the terrible wars of recent past. But on close analysis, all of them had started from some trivial incident. Such common factors in turn make history repeat itself. Revolutions are further examples. Revolutions have always been the part and parcel of misrule. Discontent among people has always culminated in riots and finally in revolution. These revolutions and wars are important aspect of history. In fact, they really make history. But at the same time, they are all repetitions of what had happened earlier.

History does repeat itself. Many accurate examples and events prove why this is the case. These examples usually are historical events, geographical changes and war strategies. Most of these events have caused many frequent tragedies in our economy. History is very important because it represents the connection of the past and the present. History helps us understand people and societies and is also useful for work as the study helps create good business people, professionals, and political leaders.

The definition of history is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs, which is why humans study history. “There is an old saying about those who can’t remember the past being condemned to repeat it. But those of us who refuse to forget the past are condemned to relive it”. This means that people that don’t study the past are going to repeat it, in the worst possible way. The quote isn't only well-known it is also truthful. When history repeats itself it can be caused by bad reasons or good reasons, unfortunately many events that repeat are dangerous.
There are numerous events in history, many of them are repeated, in there own unique way.These examples usually historical events, geographical changes and war strategies. Take the Vietnam War for the United States and the Afghanistan War for the Soviet Union, it’s an example of war strategies. The Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War both saw a super power supporting unpopular governments with the other supporting rebel forces. They both also resulted in the overthrow of the unpopular government and military humiliation for the Soviet Union and the United States.There was also the time when the Nazi Germany's annexation

Russian populated regions in the Ukraine. Another event is the Bosnian and Kosovo Wars had some of the same elements. Both saw Serbs attempt genocide on a ethnic population with NATO intervention.. One could say that China's South Sea aggression over oil is the same thing Japan did in WW2(WORLD WAR 2). Japan went to war for raw materials including oil. Even the time when the British, French, and Russian Revolutions saw radical elements coming to power with eventual dictatorships forming. Also the former Monarchs that once ruled those nations were executed by the radical elements. Civil war in those counties ensued as well. Once the Union's plans on freeing and enlistment of former slaves from the Confederate States is the same as what the British did to northern states slave populations during the Revolutionary War. Some repeated the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 both saw the United States try to take control of Canada. Also in pre-WW2 war planning saw the US military make plans to invade and annex Canada.
