    This reminds me of this quotation:
<i>"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
The quote is most likely [attributed] to George Santayana... </i>

    We can understand today's events by studying history.  Politics has remained pretty much the same for many years and in many countries.
A prime example is always used about invasion of Russia. Napeoleon was defeated there because of the fierce Russians, the distance, and the cold. Hitler also tried invading Russia and had the same disastrous experience. If he'd heeded Napoleon's example, Hitler would not have tried to invade Russia.
