What is historical contingency and historical inevitability,
Historical accident means that some small probability things did happen in history, for example, Napoleon encountered a rare cold when he attacked Moscow.

Historical inevitability means that some things can be expected from a macro perspective, such as Napoleon's failure in Moscow. Long supply lines, ignorance of Russian climate, underestimation of cold and unyielding wilderness are the main reasons for Napoleon's failure.
