50 Funny Pics To Prove That The Best Way To Learn History Is Through Memes

Daaaaayumm! He ain’t wrong though. I live 2.5 miles from 800 year old rock paintings. Lord knows what my property use to be.

This is hilarious lol

That's a good one! (German here)

Ouch.

George Dantzig: "difficult homework today, isnt it?"

They drink the T, of course!

"Be nice to us or we will bring democracy to your country!"

"I receive spice. You receive... Asturias. Burgundy. Tuscana. And seven tons of gold. Add some cinnamon and I add the real crown of thorns."

Ah, so that's why.

We also see this in the Netherlands now with Turkish and Morrocan people who were actually brought here in the 60s because the Dutch workforce was too small

We are ignoring it outright. They know no one will do anything about it

Politics play an enormous role. The rest of the world looked the other way because Germany was seen as a buffer between Europe and the threat of Communist Russia. Japanese microbiologist Dr. Shiro Ishii was never brought to trial for his war crimes against Chinese citizens during the Second Sino-Japanese War. From 1937 to 1945, Ishii detonated bombs amid hapless victims strapped to vertical platforms, performed autopsies on the dead, vivisections on the survivors. He dropped bombs carrying the bubonic plague and studied the effects of the disease on the local population. When the Japanese surrendered to Allied forces, Ishii offered his volumes of meticulous medical studies on human subjects in exchange for his freedom. The Allied medical communities came to his rescue: such data on human subjects was invaluable. Ishii and his culpable colleagues were granted immunity.

This is scarily true and not remotely funny. One of the things one of my history teachers told our class when we were learning about the years leading up to ww2 is that Hitler was one of the greatest leaders the world had seen until the war kicked off and his clear obsession of cleansing Europe and the rest of the world was apparent. If a country is seen as being successful be it from high employment levels, manufacturing, good infrastructure, housing etc, then everything must be ok. But dig a little deeper and you find some deeply sinister things. I think the issue with China is not only is the government corrupt, media being controlled and ridiculous infrictions on its citizens, but, most countries are dependent on being able to source cheaper labour and manufacturing from there. The western world has a lot to answer for, and I'm not entirely sure how this one will be resolved without a substantial number of casualties. Sorry for the long ramble & apologies for poor grammar etc.

Oh... my... GOD! Never thought about it that way. It's terrible!!!

Nothing to believe. Other countries were pretty aware of all the injustice happening to Jews long before Nazis invaded other countries. They knew it and not only they do not intervened, they even declined to accept Jewish refugees into their countries indirectly sentencing them to death

They pretty much did anyway. FDR knew, many Jews in the US knew and they asked FDR to do something and he told them, literally, to "shut up." What Mao did, what Xi is doing what Stalin did, the world knew but they called it an "internal problem" and none of anyone's business. The Nuremberg Trials were only done because of the massive media coverage of the "liberation" of the Concentration Camps. Not a word in Russia about what happened. Stalin was happy and he started his own genocide with regard to Jews, his death is the only thing that stopped it.

Please take this down, it is not a "jew" concentration camp. This is awful.

"The world is watching" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. Political incentive alone creates action.

Not just China.

This is worth watching, 11 years ago. https://youtu.be/PVH0gZO5lq0

ALL other countries initially looked the other way after learning about the concentration camps. Just as bad if not worse, many other countries wouldn't grant Jewish refugees asylum in those countries. The U.S.A. for example refused a ship in 1939. Canada did the same thing in 1939. A ship with Jewish refugees left Romania on Dec. 12, 1941. It was in port at Istanbul with a non-working engine. In Feb. 1942, the Turkish government had the ship pushed out to sea. Within hours, the boat was torpedoed and only one person survived.

Sadly it has been like that throughout history. But it's not like I don't get it either despite having one of these genocides happened in a neighboring country. Those being slaughtered aren't their citizens. They have no obligation to rock the boat. Say they do something, there will be inevitable backlash from their own citizens on military spending and sticking their noses where they don't belong. Also if said country is third world with no valuable resources, I doubt there is any incentive to "peacekeep". Now if there are say petroleum or rare earth, then it's different.

Did they redraw this format? It seems polished in a way

"We know they will do it because that's how we did it!"

Good marketing trick: Mentioning other genocides in history and currently happening is automatically seen as defending the Nazis and therefor irrelevant. Mentioning the methodes of the USSR is very frowend upon for example

Yup, just ask the Palestinians.

China saved a lot of Jewish people in WW2 by giving them sanctuary. The story of Uyghurs being incarcerated is a pike of US propaganda; the irony being the some were actually imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, but no one talks about that....

To be honest they can keep ours. We can't keep them safe and no one even comes to visit us.

lol

Good ol' days of plague, war and mindless killing!

United States: Prisoners are slaves

I am from the region actually. Very true, unfortunately. Nevertheless, apart from mildly to largely racist jerks in power on all sides, we are beautiful countries with great people. Worth visiting.

WTF ?

And yet the USA isn't defined as a terrorist nation.That title is reserved for the rest of us.

Swiss is like "Si vis pacem prepara bellum" (if you want peace be ready for the war)

they could be burned for practicing what we would call nursing

Well rape and incest are not really on "on brand" for Disney, though dead parents certainly are. Which makes one wonder why they chose Greek mythology as source material at all.

History happened, you can't change that, learn from it and move forward. "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"

“Are we the baddies?”

She is so bad she has been re-elected every time since... well... Almost forever.

The longest hangover in history.

Funny thing: when they wrote that they pictured muskets. Never would they have imagined an AK47

At least when the British museum got hold of things, they were preserved, not destroyed or sold on the black market?

I am italian - if one of our president would have done such a thing we claimed it as a miracle... (Our president of republics are always old people)
