It’s often said that if you don’t learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. So what’s an example of a country or leader not learning from history and thus repeated the mistakes of the past?

The British against the Russians at the battle of Balaklava. Misscommunication, resulting in British Calvary charging straight at their machine guns, resulting in the death and slaughter of the whole battalion. 60 years later the British did the same again at the battle of the Somme. Due to the shelling of the Germans and the confusion of orders they all ended up charging. 10’s of thousands died, resulting in the biggest military defeat for the British ever. I love my country, but we have a bad tendency of when we don’t know what to do, just charge at them. ( too much pride which ends up being our downfall. Double edged sword )

    In 1979, the USSR invaded Afghanistan. Was a total disaster, they could never take real control of the country and after many years and a shitload of dollars and lives lost, had to retreat back home, leaving the taliban in charge. In 2001, the USA invaded Afghanistan. Was a total disaster, they could never take real control of the country and after many years and a shitload of dollars and lives lost, had to retreat back home, leaving the taliban in charge.

    Every time a government somehow sells tax-cuts to the rich/big companies (aka Trickle-Down Economics) to the populace, the average citizen is doomed to get fucked by it yet again.

    America: Provides weapons to militants fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The Soviet Afghanistan campaign is a disaster. Also America: Fights Afghan militants in a disastrous never-ending war in Afghanistan.
