It's good to learn about history; it's even better to learn FROM history. This chart lists 22 of the most important Recurring Dynamics of History that have repeated multiple times in the past and are likely to repeat again in the future. Of course, individual details of different historical events are seldom the same—Hitler’s uncanny repeat of Napoleon’s failed invasion of Russia notwithstanding. But general patterns do often repeat in history, e.g., many or most military invasions of distant lands have failed over the long term. Knowing about these essential Recurring Dynamics of History makes us smarter about human nature and the workings of the world—knowledge that could help us and our leaders to avoid repeating costly mistakes of the past and make wiser choices in the future. To learn more about Recurring Dynamics of History and two other kinds of useful historical knowledge, see VIDEOS at FutureFocusedHistory.blog.
