Hi guys I am a newbie to reactjs, I am trying to learn reactjs router. I have this weird thing happening to my Dashboard routes. My App component have two routes "/login" and "/"

'/login' shows up the login screen and the '/' shows up the main dashboard screen. In the dashboard I have sidenavigation component and Main content component. I am trying to nest a set of Routes inside main component. The routes are working fine when i navigate it through the links in the side navigation component. But when I try to click back or forward button in the browser it doesn't work. I am getting a blank screen without anything loaded.

please need your help guys.. any help will be highly appreciated.

Please find the code below.

//App.js

import React, { Component } from "react";

import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import MainPage from "./Mainpage";
import LoginPage from "./components/pages/LoginPage";
import "./styleFiles/index.css";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="flexible-content">
        <Route path="/" exact component={MainPage} />
        <Route path="/login" component={LoginPage} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;


//MainPage.js

class MainPage extends Component {

        <div className="flexible-content">
          <SideNavigation />
          <main id="content" className="p-5">
            <Switch>
              <Route path={"/"} exact component={DashboardPage} />
              <Route path={"/Dashboard"} exact component={DashboardPage} />
              <Route path="/profile" component={ProfilePage} />
              <Route path="/tables" component={TablesPage} />
              <Route path="/inventory" component={InventoryPage} />

When I made a small change to my code, I could eliminate that weird behavior. the changes were only made to my App.js file. please find the changes below

import React, { Component } from "react";

import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";
import MainPage from "./Mainpage";
import LoginPage from "./components/pages/LoginPage";
import "./styleFiles/index.css";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="flexible-content ">
        <Switch>
          <Route path="/Main" exact component={MainPage} />
          <Route path="/login" component={LoginPage} />
          <Route component={MainPage} />
        </Switch>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

I added a switch tag and a Generic Not Found route component to my app.js file.
