"Secret Bunkers" presents four installations from the mid-19th century up until the middle of World War II. Such as the legendary fortress and bunker of emperor Francis I of Austria in today’s Northern Italy which was never put to the test. In the 1930s, the so-called East Wall was intended to shield Germany’s border against a suspected invasion from its Polish neighbor. However, when the Soviet Army advanced to Berlin in early 1945, its bunkers proved worthless. From 1940 onwards, Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill coordinated the war from a bomb-proof bunkers right in the heart of London. Along the French Atlantic Coast, colossal blocks of steel concrete were erected to provide bunkers for the German U-Boats until, finally, they had to give themselves up.

It's easy to learn from the mistakes and successes of human history. It is easy to think about the things that worked well in the past today and find ways to make them work for you today.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. That means you've learnt a lot.
Although you might not be able make every mistake, it is possible to minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
You can then try again.
What do our mistakes teach us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. It will teach you something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. You shouldn't stress about the small details. They happen to all of us.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.

You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, focus on your strengths and work towards improving yourself. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors make errors. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Each invention was created intentionally. There is no such thing a accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intention to create something. Something that solves a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means that you will have to spend much time thinking about issues and new ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they need?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. Listen to your potential and current customers.
You have to learn what they want. Not what they tell themselves they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. That's where invention begins.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. The ability to question authority. Challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. If we don't grow we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is permanent. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To do so, he needed to build a canal across the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), allowing ships from Europe to reach India and China. This process required building a series of locks and dams along the way. He made several trips to Egypt, where he negotiated with the Khedive Ismail Pasha to finance the project. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. After the defeat of the British at the Battle for Omdurman in the Sudan War, 1859, the British signed a treaty that allowed them to access the Red Sea via Suez Canal. This was opened in 1869.
This project helped open up trade routes and increase international commerce, leading to the development of many countries around the globe, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and the United States.
The Suez Canal enabled people to travel much more efficiently than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. Additionally, the Suez Canal reduced the distance between North America & Europe by nearly 3,000 miles, making it more convenient for people to travel back and forward. These advantages made the Suez Canal one of the most important transport projects ever.
The Suez Canal, however, caused problems. It divided the Ottoman Empire into 2 parts. This led to the First World War. The British used the Suez Canal as a weapon against Germany during World War II, while the Germans attacked Britain with their own version of the canal. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.
After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides didn't want to fight each other initially, as they were afraid the other might use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. The canal was closed for four years before President Sadat opened it to civilian traffic in 1973.
