The review and study of historical processes is a fascinating task. When establishing any sequence of events which led to the great happenings of human history, we often may find some patterns. It seems as if everything followed some kind of script, to bring those results. Is amazing to realize how the slightest variation on a simple link of that chain of events, might have produced completely different consequences. A "what if..." question, many times arises, opening the doors to the imagination.
At the same time, some predestined people emerge, no matter their origin. They seem to take a road, which always leads to put them in front of the main historical changes... for better or for worse. At this point, is interesting to consider, if each sequence of facts may create its own characters. On the contrary, might some persons be who made things happen, with their decisions and acts? Could it exist somehow, a mid point between those extremes? Sure it is a subject for endless debates.
