"L'histoire est la mémoire des États"
— Henry Kissinger
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
History is like the collective memory of countries. Just like people remember their past experiences, nations remember important events that have happened to them. For example, when a country celebrates its independence day, it’s remembering the day it became free from another country's rule. These memories help shape a country's identity, influence its decisions, and guide its future actions. By studying history, we can understand why countries behave in certain ways today. If we learn from past mistakes and successes, we can make better decisions for the future and avoid repeating errors.
