Did world history repeat itself every 500 years?
it is say that History repeat itself after 1 ciycle every 500 years.
After i read about the chinese/roman war history. I always notice some similar trait.
Maybe 500years ago. The exact issue/man/accident happen in this world, just that the people/place/time might be change till the modern world.
In chinese saying " The world will spilt when it group for some time and will group it when it spilt for some time".
Take chinese history for example, there is 7 state in the" chun qiu era" , unitfied by Qin, later spilt up and unitfied by Han ..after 400 years ..later spilt into 3 again ( Zhan guo )++
In our present situation, history repeat itself too. my prediction is that .. Later Europe will unified into EU, SEA is unified into ASEAN..thus US remain as super power like represent the Qin in old china..slowly we will have 7 state in this world..become 3 and unified into 1..this is predicted in China ancient book " Tui Bei Tu"

I don't believe history ever repeats itself because to say it repeats would be to say that the exact same thing happened. i do however, believe that similar things happen and that we need to see them as something we can learn from. so i would say:history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

I think there are clearly themes that repeat in world history, if you can step back and observe them, but I don't think there's anything so static and clear as a 500 year cycle. I do think it's important to see history as cyclical - things go up and down - than progressive - things just keep getting better and better.

No, I don't think it does. haven't noticed us Brits just ending a War of the Roses.
