The refugee crisis in Iraq and Syria may turn out to be one of the defining crises of our generation. The violence and instability created through the Syrian Civil War, the collapse of order in Iraq, and the rise of ISIS have turned the already rising tide of immigration to Europe into a veritable flood.
The response across Europe and the rest of the world has varied. Arab Gulf states such as the UAE and Qatar have refused point-blank to take in any refugees. Countries such as Australia and New Zealand have decided to take in a limited number, accompanied by a strong vetting process.
The power of history
History is a powerful tool. On the one hand, it informs and educates us. Through it we can come to know the story of human civilisation, its heroes and villains, its triumphs and tragedies.
From its study we can more fully understand our present age and how we got to where we are. We can learn lessons from those who have gone before us, and gain wisdom to help us prepare for the future.
But more than just an educational tool, history has the power to connect us to those who have gone before us, and give us a window into the culture and people of civilisations separated from us by hundreds or thousands of years.
