⚔️ From overconfidence to fatal misjudgment — history’s greatest generals weren’t just heroes… they were human.

In this gripping historical breakdown, we explore the most catastrophic blunders in military history — decisions that cost thousands of lives, lost empires, and changed the course of world history.

You’ll uncover:
✅ Napoleon’s fatal gamble in the Russian winter — why “just one more push” destroyed the Grande Armée
✅ Custer’s Last Stand — how ego and poor reconnaissance led to annihilation at Little Bighorn
✅ Hitler’s obsession with Stalingrad — and the refusal to retreat that shattered the Wehrmacht
✅ Gulf War deception — how Saddam’s generals misread coalition tactics
✅ Ancient blunders: Crassus at Carrhae, Varus in the Teutoburg Forest, and more

These weren’t just “bad luck” — they were failures in intelligence, leadership, adaptability, and humility. And their lessons echo in every modern conflict.

🔍 Why study these mistakes?
Because in war — as in life — the cost of arrogance is measured in blood.
