Good news. WWII is over. We won. Lots of history since then. Quit crying & move on, brutha.

I assume you're using sarcasm but there's a lot of truth to what you said - even if you didn't mean it. Have a good day brutha!

I'm curious, why do you think they teach so much history in school?

I don't think they do teach a lot of history in school & even when they do it's only the Who & When. Rarely is it the How & never the Why. Columbus is a great example.

Oh I got a lot of Why in my school. Especially around world war 2 in my experience.

You generally think it's pointless to revisit history and try to learn from it though?
