"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." What modern or recent event could we have avoided if only we followed George Santayana's advice?

I'm sorry, but any discussion of current events are banned in this subreddit. Very few historians agree however that "history repeats itself" since every single event in history happens within a particular context that is limited to that time alone. It can not be replicated. While we can draw lessons from history, they can at best be general. :)
