    Not literally instance by instance.  But, yes.  The names and places may change, but the reasons for war?  Always the same.  Always ego.  Always us against them for stupid reasons like disagreements in behavior, religion etc.

    The names and the places change and the morons stay the same, meaning us.  We don't change?  History repeats ad nauseum.

    Yes, the ruling classes ALWAYS use their power and money to gain ever more power and money.  This inevitably leads to disenfranchisement of the lower classes, rebellion, and destruction of the existing class structure and/or that civilization.

    Every culture eventually collapses, all in the same general manner and for the same general reasons. Here is a free ebook explaining the history: https://comingdarkage.blogspot.com/
