Answer 1

Inappropriate use of analogies restricts the application of history to current social events, resulting in misunderstanding. When used to the area of intellect or decision-making, improper analogies may create confusion. If an interpreter employs perceived parallels to support their claims, there is a danger of misinterpretation. For example, during the 1950 Korean invasion, President Truman stated in his memoirs that communism was spreading in Korea in the same way as the Japanese, Hitler, and Mussolini had done ten to twenty years earlier. As with the reason of the second world war, if this was not addressed, it would precipitate a third world war. Additionally, history is constrained by the interpreter's views and prejudices.
