And losing a world war? Something really shocking has to happen for the whole country to rethink ways of doing things.


WWII Japan is the result of its about face, not its cause.

Applied to other countries, what did the second one teach that the first didn’t?

repetitio est mater studiorum

“Repetition is the mother of all learning”


This is not useful in the slightest. What was different after the war was a late 20th century boost in economy for Japan. Does Uganda learn as much every day because of a quote?
