Does history repeats itself?

I would think that if your personal history [relationships, etc.] repeats itself, that is psychology, not history. The teaching of history has [thankfully] moved past the simple recitation of dates and events, and is more concerned with the explanation of causes and effects. Does history repeat itself? Yes, but that is a result of human psychology, not of a historical imperative. Someone once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. We seem to be trying to prove the truth of that statement.

George Santayana wrote in 1905 that those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it's mistakes. If you make the same mistakes over and over you will get the same bad results over and over. History repeating itself is a result of people refusing to learn it's lessons.

nicely, you would be able to desire to write approximately your older brother hating this project so background is repeating itself, yet you will in all hazard get a better grade in case you look on the style of situations an identical human beings have been at conflict with one yet another, including the two religions in eire or the Germans and the French. in case you prefer some thing much less nicely widespread, look at what surpassed off in the Balkans down although the years ending maximum presently in the Bosnian-Serbian slaughter and the breaking apart of Czechoslovakia the place human beings do no longer even agree on what to call previous slaughters.

Way too often. My personal life does not repeat itself that much because I try to learn from my mistakes. Unfortunately we seem as a nation to not do this.

Here is a good historical website.

As Voltaie once wrote

"History never repeats itself.Man always does."

If we do not learn from history we will repeat it.

Not exactly in every tiny detail, but yes, especially among those who refuse to learn from past errors.

yes every 25 years theirs a great depression and every 40 years a new war starts
