46 Exceptionally Smart History Memes That Are Surprisingly Funny If You Actually Know Your Facts
If you used to doze off during World History class, it’s probably because the teacher never promised you any memes at the end. Still, history is a favorite subject for many students, never mind the lack of memes in the curriculum. In the U.S., 80% of adults say they loved Social Studies or History in high school, and men are usually more likely to say it’s their favorite.
We here at Bored Panda believe that learning can always be more fun when you do it with a little bit of help from memes. That’s why we’ve got some funny posts here from “Classic History Posting” that we think history enthusiasts should like. So, here are a few memes poking fun at Spain’s penchant for civil wars, hobbyists who like reading about ancient generals perhaps a bit too much, anachronisms like having WhatsApp in the Roman Empire, and many more!

The answer to the anomaly, from what I remember and could be misremembering, is that none of the surrounding countries wanted the land, because Russia will Russia (see the situation with Ukraine and Crimea for reference).

At that time there was no such thing as greece, a single unified country, it consisted of many little kingdoms.

Although there wasn't a country by today's terms, they did have an idea of "nation" - shared culture, language, religion etc made them feel part of a "homeland". They called themselves Greeks or Hellenes, all of them, Spartans, Athenians, Thebans, etc.

For the earliest-known depiction of the Trojan Horse see Wikipedia: Mykonos vase. The Greek soldiers look they're riding in a multi-decker excursion bus.

So you're saying the Greek people invented the microbus (macrobus?) long before VW did? XD

Weird how the map fails to mention the Estonian Independence war that was going on at the same time. We ended up winning territory from the Soviet russia (I think Estonia is the only country having ever done this) and then beating the Baltic germans so hard we ended up accidently invading Latvia.
