The more you drill down to the detail of historical events, the more you feel that your were misled when you are still young.

For example, Many believe that United States “is” founded as a democratic country. the truth is United States “are” founded to avoid democracy, and eliminate kings and government. see Notes of Secret Debates of the Federal Conventions of 1787

There was no one purely evil, if we blame someone change the history course out of evil. it will be easy for us to blind our mind without digging the facts behind the scenes.

When we go back to the timespot before the break of World War 2, is it really that Hitler broke out the confliction out of evil? no, after so many years, we should see that if there was not the Great Depression, there will be no new tariff, and will be no international economy crisis. Even though, if U.S. can remit Germany WW1 war reparation. there will be no Germany crisis and the rise of Hitler. (U.S. won’t take back the WW1 war reparation in either way)

In another perspective, it was Allies breed the seed of Germany Nazi. And the same as Stalin. there must be reasons for the last resort caused an action to be token.

The last resort is also called Path Dependence. why the nowadays keyboard is Qwerty keyboard but not other layout? because of Path Dependence. why American still use imperial unit? because of Path Dependence.
