On this day, April 22, 1877 the Russian Empire declared war on the Ottoman Empire.
The Russians were victorious, but in a fashion as the gains they made were limited
The Ottoman Empire is long gone, the Russian Empire? It changes its name from time to time, that’s about it.
And another significant event happened on April 24, this time it’s 1916.
The Easter Rising in Dublin’s GPO, where an Irish Republic is proclaimed in opposition to British rule in the country.
And it too was ‘partly successful’.
History keeps repeating itself.
Why are we always fighting with one another?
More powerful countries dominating weaker nations.
The survival of the fittest? Surely not.
