History gets a bad reputation, mostly due to stuffy teachers and dense, bland textbooks. In reality, no pun intended, it’s a gold mine of interesting facts, fascinating personalities, and stories that can rival Hollywood. Screenwriters have tapped into real events for a long time, so it’s no surprise that meme creators have started to do the same.

Memes are a great way to share stories from our history and present them in an approachable and relatable way. So get comfortable, scroll down, and upvote your favorites. Should you feel like you want to see some more, Bored Panda has you covered, with other collections of history memes here, here, and here

The One War I Don't Think Sabaton Ever Has Or Ever Will Write A Song About

The One War I Don't Think Sabaton Ever Has Or Ever Will Write A Song About

reddit.com Report

RELATED:

    Besides often being hilarious, memes also help tie us closer to other people. After all, they use some shared piece of information or context to communicate the idea or punchline. It is actually quite beautiful that we as humans have so much shared experience, or history, as some might call it, that groups of people can all enjoy the same images overlaid with text.

    Most of the images here rely on two things, the reader understanding the frame of reference for the image, which are from general meme templates and media, while also understanding the text, which references some historical event or fact. Educators should pay attention since this mechanism actually promotes learning by connecting something new with something more familiar. At the very least, students won’t be falling asleep in class.

    Progressive May Be Relative But Still

    Progressive May Be Relative But Still

    GrAaSaBa Report

    In their defense, history teachers and professors have their work cut out for them. They need to convey huge amounts of facts and context to people who often don’t understand the point of the entire exercise. “Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it,” goes the adage by writer and philosopher George Santayana. This perfectly illustrates the issue of history, as the actual quote goes:” Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” But most people don’t always even learn from their own life experiences, so it’s a pretty tall order.

    The "poor" pyramid workers as well as the later tomb architects had communal housing, free food and entertainment, socialised healthcare... What they did NOT have is money, as Egypt did not introduce money until the arrival of the Greeks. Before that, they had some kind of standardised barter economy with partly fixed exchange rates, like "three loafs of bread equal one pair of sandals" and so on - quite an interesting system, actually. They were mostly paid in bread and beer. The former could be exchanged against other goods and services.

    A Surprise To Be Sure But A Welcome One!

    followerofEnki96 Report

    We can think of history as trying to put together multiple jigsaw puzzles, with an unknown number of missing pieces and boxes that may or may not be lying about what the actual image looks like. Anything older than a few decades has already lost its primary sources and older history might cover periods where the language has died out or perhaps writing didn’t exist yet. Some historians go as far as to say that our history really is just a history of civilizations that developed writing.

    Which Roman Empire? These are technically all correct: 1943 was the surrender of Italy in WW2 followed by Rome's occupation by Nazi Germany, 476 was the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, 1806 was the Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, 1453 was the Fall of Constantinople and fall of the Byzantine Empire.

    Even worse, people have short memories, and certain ideas and facts often just lose their relevance. The term “ash heap of history” or “dustbin of history” reflects the reality that as ideas and artifacts lose their importance, they end up forgotten, to the detriment of future historians. The same can be said of language and texts, particularly for works that have yet to be digitalized. In his arguably most famous work, The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov, said “manuscripts don’t burn.” While that may be true, they can still be simply forgotten.

    Turns Out A Lot Of Historical Figures Who Dreamed Of World Domination Were A Bit Freaked Out By Cats

    CaitlinSnep Report

    So historians have the thankless task of trying to find those bits of data and information that have been left buried in some archive, tomb, or museum basement. The first historian, at least to our knowledge would be Herodotus, who lived around 450 BC and is sometimes called the “father of history.” Though due to his habit of covering folk tales alongside real events, modern critics sometimes label him the “father of lies.” Historians can be a hard crowd to please.

    While in the 1500s the Church formally stopped prosecuting witchcraft, the just changed the name swapping "withcraft" for "demon possession" or "heretic". Nevertheless the Catholic church did plenty of prosecuting of free thinkers, ill or generally innocent people in the thousands.

    Apparently the best rendering of Xerxes' Persian name in IPA is Xšayār̥šā and "Achaemenid" should be rendered Haxāmaniš. Pronounce X as "kh", š as "sh", ā as "ah", and the r with the ring under it as a trill.

    China makes a lot of claims for inventions, but not many of them are factually accurate. Claiming historical innovations has been a habit of the post-Mao Chinese autocracy, and is considered a way to foster nationalism and patriotism. They do not refrain from outright lying or making up "history" as it suits them. There are a credibility issues with those claims, and many inconsistencies, issues that even pro-sino historians feel the need to address but the chinese government plainly ignores in favor of propaganda. https://www.economist.com/china/2016/12/20/what-china-claims-to-have-invented

    The Dutch do love us. Canada liberated the Netherlands. We also gave future Queen Juliana and her family refuge during WWII. She gave birth in a Canadian hospital, which was declared neutral soil, so her child could have Dutch citizenship and not Canadian. They still send us 10,000 tulip bulbs each year. Dutch children also clean the tombs of Canadian soldiers and put candle around them.

    Zeus will absolutely f**k up your life especially in conjunction with Hera. janus or hecate are all about choices, so are normal, aphrodite is ok, as long as you re-pay her. Artemis is relatively safe, to the point where you can see her bathing and survive, as long as you are female or young. Thanatos and Hades are inevitable, nemesis and tyche are omnipresent, and the nature gods, potamus, winds, and nymphs are common to meet. Dionysus is positively fun. apollo is okay, as long as you haven't insulted his mother. lots of the minor deities are friendly, the titans are tyrants, gaia is the mother of all tyrants. I think hestia and hephaestus are okay, but still gods, so don't risk too much. on the other hand, Loki is slippery, and Thor will kill you if you break his goats, but otherwise they are okay. It's the animals you have to watch out for.

    It didn't help that Hannibal elephants were almost all lost well before arriving to the Roman Empire core, mostly dying from Barbarian attacks in the Rhone Valley en route to Italy, in the crossing of the Alps and in the first cold winter of Northern Italy. In the same way, half the expeditionary force was lost in transit. Hannibal, by the way, was not the "greatest military genius of his time". He was a last minute replacement of his brother Hasdrubales, the Carthaginian general who set up the whole campaign and invasion, who got killed mid-way while camping in Spain.

    Just as only a dockside warehouse of the Library of Alexandria caught fire accidentally and not the actual library itself; MGM had their film archives stored in sealed vaults, so even though 100% of Vault #7s contents were sadly destroyed, none of the other vaults were affected and they saved 70% of their library. Extra props go to MGM for storing their archive in vaults in the first place, the other film companies at the time typically destroyed their films, likely being a bigger loss to film history.

    Aaaand... NO. Germany was THIS close to (kind of) winning WW2. UK avoided invasion only thanks to their barely-held air superiority in the Battle of Britain in 1940-41. Without UK, any plan for US intervention would not have gone through. US would have handed Japan a*se back to them in retaliation, sure, but most of the population was very much ok with peace with Germany up until late 1942. If Germany had invaded UK, they could have settled for a comfy European peace, acquiring France, UK, the Balkans, most of East Europe, the North African colonies and likely even Turkey, while keeping Italy, Portugal and Spain as close allies. They would have had plenty of time for rearming and renovating the military, while the USSR -that was still struggling with a "modernization" of the army two decades too old- would have been hopeless without the military hardware lend-lease agreements from the USA and UK.

    They didn't. In 2002-2003 Putin made public claims about willingness to join Nato *if invited*, something that is way out of procedure. Baron George Robertson, then Nato Secretary General, replied that if he wanted Russia to join NATO he would have to apply, as any other country. Putin of course refused because he was not willing to go through a process that he said was designed for "countries that don’t matter", and made clear Russia had no intention of modernizing their military to NATO standards (a mandatory committment). In hindsight, it became evident that Putin proposal was just a way to look for a pretext to roll back the 1992 Russia-NATO "Partnership for Peace" agreements. At the time, Russia was beginning its Chechen wars, which would have disqualified them from application anyway.

    The British did help in the Irish famine, to the extent of spending the equivalent of £1.2B today, by setting up Soup kitchens, importing Maize from the USA. A lot of the food exported rotted in storehouses as the local land owners refused to hand it out due to their tenants owing money. There was also a big move on the nationalist anti-British front at this time in Ireland which spread a lot of the rumour that British is not helping the Irish. The question is could they have done more and honestly they probably could and should of.
