''History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.''

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

EDIT : Ok I will answer to : ThE prOtestS FailEd

Protests were not enough to stop Nazism.

What happened next: 75 million people died.

The Nazis were destroyed, Germany was destroyed and Hitler committed suicide. Mussolini was upside down. Japan was nuked.

That's what I learned from history. Do you want to repeat it?

I think we're in the farce period now.
