A value in learning history is to learn from the mistakes from those before us. There is a plethora of knowledge that is available to us found through the mistakes of others. However, we often completely ignore them. For example, in 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia. But even though he had the better army, he was beaten by the Russian winter because he had not brought proper winter supplies. 129 years later in 1941, Hitler also invaded Russia. But he ignored Napoleon’s mistake and also didn’t bring proper winter supplies. And just like Napoleon, Hitler was beaten by the Russian winter.

:Terrific answer.  Coincidentally, another student commented on that also.  As I told him, that would be added to the model answers if it were American history!  Still, it's a great example.
