To analyze this statement we have to know exactly what is meant by the phrase ‘History always repeats itself’. History is the written records of the past, but there can be more than one version of the event. Always means at all times, all the time, constantly and continuously. And repeat means something that happens again and again without exceptions. So therefore the statement means an event has to occur regularly in the same situation over and over in time, with the same factors influencing it.

It is impossible for something to happen again and again without exception and it being exactly the same as the time before, because things are constantly changing, and it can never be exactly like the previous time. The date, the time and the things involved are

In conclusion, I would say that the statement ‘History always repeats itself’ is not completely true. Things which happen are similar and there is no arguing with that, but they are never exactly the same as they were before, the place, the time, and the people involved, or even if it has nothing to do with people, things won’t be the same.

Another example is the Atomic bomb. On August 6 1945 the U.S.A who, for the first time in history, used atomic bombs to bomb Hiroshima, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the atomic bomb had never been used before and it’s affects had never been tested, men discovered it’s destructive powers and now fear them and are aware of them. It has never happened again, this is because people have learned from their mistake and will try and prevent from happening. And people will try and stop it from happening again. Also making it unlikely for another bomb to be used. But there is still a possibility that it can happen again, if people are not conscious enough to learn from the devastation, which happened last time, and again it would be a different situation and a different time. So therefore it would not be history repeating itself, but a similar event occurring in
