How History Makes Today
Everything that has happened in the past dictates the future. That's basically what dictates everything people do. Everything that is happening now is a direct result of what has happened in the past and without knowing what happened in the past, it's impossible to know what will happen in the future. Learning about history can be the most boring thing in the world, but without that history a person wouldn't know that North Korea and all the problems associated with the country began, in part, because of the first World War, which wouldn't have started if Serbia hadn't tried to become it's own country.
History is essential to reading a situation and knowing how to react to it, whether it was politically or militarily. When people find themselves without the knowledge of what happened in the past, they make the same mistakes that prompted the issues at hand. Without a history lesson, no good decisions can be made, not ones that will help for very long.
As for North Korea. World War I started when Serbia tried to gain freedom, and when the region wasn't granted freedom, a rebel shot a Prussian royal, Franz Ferdinand. This started the first World War, which led to Germany's debt, which led to the Nazi's rise to power, which led to World War Two. At the end of WWII, Russia and the US, who were allies at the time, split the deserted lands on the Pacific front, creating North and South Korea. South Korea was an open capitalist state, like the United States, while North Korea was a communist state, following the Soviet Union. All conflicts of this kind can be traced back to events that happened long ago, but are relevant to how the world fits together.
The planet Earth is one big puzzle that needs piecing together every once in a while to determine why something began and how it could be ended. Not just wars, but famines, social injustices, and human rights violations. All of these things can be traced to something that made all the difference in the world, and that something might just be the key to ending the problem itself.
But that's just what I think, tell me what you think.
