Question by Shanta: Besides Napoleon who tried and FAILED to conquer Russia. Also could u give other examples of history repeated?
I know Napolen attempted (and failed) to invade Russia in 1812 but weren’t there others who also tried and failed for the same reasons?? Also could you think of other great histry failures that were repeated, recently or in the past. This is for a paper about why we need to study Military History, and my argument is to prevent ourselves from repeating the same stupid mistakes of our ancestors. Thanks in advance.
