Why do great people keep making the same mistake again and again?
In 1812 the brilliant leader, strategist and general, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte as the head of the massive French army invaded Russia.
However, he was unprepared for an extended winter campaign, which eventually led to his fall, and that of his French Empire.
A big mistake!
Then, believe it or not, 120 odd years later Adolf Hitler did the same thing!
He invaded Russia, and, exactly as before, he was unprepared for an extended winter campaign.
It had exactly the same a result, it led to his downfall as it did to the German Reich.
Why do these seemingly intelligent people keep making the same mistake again and again?
That’s why we want to make history fun and have published 30 historical musicals, that hopefully everyone will perform, remember and hopefully use in later life.
There are so many such examples of history repeating itself, if only we understood the mistakes of history, we wouldn’t keep making them.
We hope!
For example, why did the US, then NATO and even the USSR go into Afghanistan? They all lost thousands of men, didn’t win anything and we are now back in the same place
No army has ever won in Afghanistan, even in the eighteenth century we were losing men there, so you have to ask, did all these politicians ever read history?
