Any 1st world nation does this in regards to 3rd world nations.
1) the French in Indochina (Vietnam) prior to the American involvement in Vietnam.
2) The U.S. in regards to the abilities of the Japanese during WW2.
3) The U.S. in Vietnam
4) The U.S. in Somalia
5) The U.S. in Iraq
There are others but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I don't list this examples to criticize the U.S. or the military but to illustrate the continual example of how 1st world nations underestimate the abilities of 3rd world nations. In each of these examples we just thought we could march in and obliterate them easily enough.
Never underestimate your enemy. Never overestimate your own abilities

Magic's replaced right into a huge deal especially because of the entire aids aspect, notwithstanding the NBA had Michael to carry that torch so the right result wasn't virtually as large as Michael calling it quits in 1993 because of his father's lack of life and what is going un-said is the playing allegations that swirled for the time of those jap convention finals with the Knicks. It replaced right into a difficult time for someone all of us theory replaced into data against something. That tragedy had a 2 12 months effect on the NBA until eventually March 17 1995 at the same time as he got here again adverse to the Pacers or perhaps then he wasn't the participant he replaced into. regardless of if he replaced into the suitable participant interior the league from 96-ninety 8, those those who watched Jordan from 80 5-ninety 3 recognize how good he replaced into. That tragedy replaced Michael Jordan for added ideal and worse. far better impact that any one realizes.

Chairman Mao - His arrogance lead to the deaths of approximately 70 million people. I doubt there is a bigger tragedy.
