In this episode of the History You Forgot podcast, we explore the concept of whether history repeats itself, guided by the Strauss-Howe theory which suggests that history follows cyclical patterns. We discuss historical cycles through the lens of seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—illustrating these concepts with examples from European and American history. The conversation also touches on the impact of social media on historical discourse and current global tensions, leading to reflections on what a new spring might look like in the future. The episode concludes with a call for understanding history to better navigate contemporary challenges.
