How World War 2 is a example for history repeating itself?
WWII is not an example of history repeating itself because history never repeats its self. There is no way to have the exact same conditions on any given day in order to show that history can in fact repeat. History can also not repeat because time moves linearly and forward and thus there is no way for History to repeat. Even if things seem the same they are not because their are too many factors in each event of life that can greatly influence the outcome of any event. We can not learn from history specifically from events but we can use history to learn about the human condition and how we try to manage our problems. But we cannot simply justify an event with another event.
