A place for people to submit their observations of when history has 'repeated itself', or 'rhymed' (as Mark Twain put it), or general coincidences throughout history. For example, the Abraham Lincon & JFK assassinations.

This subreddit also encompasses the 'acceleration' of history, in which shorter/less significant events in the future mimic longer/more dramatic events in the past. E.g. the fall of a company might resemble the fall of a civilisation in the past.

Does anyone else see these protests in Paris as a strange similarity with the French revolution?

Albeit on a much lesser scale.
