In Finland there's been an lot of recent discussion about the second- and even third- and fourth-generational trauma of WW2. People came back home mentally scarred from fighting and were told to just get back to work because the entire country needed to be rebuilt, no time to care about your feelings. Since mental health issues were strongly stigmatized here as well, people took solace in the bottle and/or acted it out on their families, and so the psychological damage got passed on to the next generation in a mutated form. Such cycles can just keep on repeating unless something is actually done about them.

More of a scientific than a historical fact, but fear responses and other psychiatric issues can be genetically passed down from males to their children. Sperm are constantly made in the body as opposed to eggs and can be epigenetically modified as the father experiences (usually) traumatic things.

Don't liken me to that son of a bitch Hitler. Anybody that lets his public policies be mixed up with religious prejudice is a plain goddamn fool.

That's a fun way of expressing "new number ho dis" dissing as a national core foreign policy

"The Revolutionary War was started for noble reasons, not financial ones" as America immediately forgets its war debts to France.
