Question

What is a recent event that has a past historical event that could help better understand the current

Answer 1

The most obvious prequel to a present event is the failed Soviet invasion of Finland prior to WWII and Russia's current belly flop in Ukraine. In both cases local resistance was underestimated and the lack of enthusiasm for unnecessary wars by Russian troops was unexpected.

In the U.S. one could also consider the 19th Century No Nothing Party and present anti-immigrant movements or the resistance to expanded healthcare.
