If you grew up in a generation where you learned history through textbooks in school, you likely didn’t enjoy every single class, and that’s fine. Some days will be more of a drag than others.
That’s not the case with memes. They will usually involve humor, making learning much more enjoyable. It’s likely why subreddits like History Memes have 1.2 million followers, all keeping the page alive with relatable content that also involves absorbing the same information you will find in school books.
Here are some of the best ones from the page. As always, don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

Drums are heard more readily on the battlefield over the explosions and were therefore used to convey orders. Drummers needed to know at least 20 different tattoos, as they were called.
I did not know our Nathaniel was a war drummer lol, is this true Nathaniel?
The drummers were very skilled, and their 'beat' was the orders from the general.
How about that WW2 guy with the Highland bagpipes during the Normandy landing? He survived because the Germans decided not to waste their ammunition on somebody so clearly utterly mad.

Load More Replies...Outside of memes, there are other ways to make learning history more interesting and enjoyable. Oakwood High School social science teacher Alex Brouhard suggests allowing students to be “investigators.” As he noted in an article for EdSurge, it’s a way to sustain interest.
An example he gave was having students investigate what happened in the two years between 1915 and 1917, including the sinking of the Lusitania during World War I.

Violence Is Not The Answer

Lot had daughters, and Cains wife came from somewhere. I think her name was LUCY
Load More Replies...well now dont forget that according to the original texts, and by that i mean the original hebrew texts and jewish mythology, Eve was Adams second wife after Lilith fled the garden. i would imagine that she had descendents, either through adam or through another "demon" she raised during her flight from the garden. Christianity is very careful to pretend lilith never existed, but that nothing more than selective editing of the text in order to "prove" women are meant to be subservient to men.
The Bible required a dude to marry his dead brother's widow, so family values have evolved from the practices of them there days... at least in most places.
Load More Replies...There is no pleasant answer to this. Chapter one and the writer had already written himself into a corner...
The Bible was written, but not edited. If God hadn’t been too cheap to pay for some editors….
Load More Replies...Yeah and for the first couple of chapters of the bible they all live into their 700s...
This explains why the Old Testament is so ingrained in the culture of the American Bible Belt (Alabama, Tennessee, etc.).
Three of their sons are named in the bible but it also says they had multiple other sons and daughters. I mean, it’s still incest, but…
I have written about this before. But in the Estonian language version the book literally tells that the from the inside of the (very obviously) male named person came out the next forefather and so on.. for generations and generations. It used to confuse the heck out of the 11 year old me.
don't forget the flood! only noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives, only 8 people were left to re populate the earth! that means all humans are from good old fashioned country cousin lovin! AND, there was most likely some brother/sister action going on due to lack of outside mates!
“My students not only learned the content but also developed critical thinking skills as they analyzed evidence, put together persuasive arguments, and respectfully debated their peers,” Brouhard wrote.
Brouhard further explained his process, stating that once the students discovered the information he tasked them to find, he assigned points of view between the Allies and Germany, sparking an insightful debate.

I think it's hilarious that monotheists especially Jews/Muslims/Christians see polytheism as a lot of made up gods, yet somehow theirs just happens to be the only one that isn't made up. Dudes, they're all made up!
And they've never seen the irony of c2alling any other religion a superstition. It was exactly this "we're right, everybody else is going to hell" attitude that opened my eyes to what a crock of sh1t the whole thing was. Why would our wonderful loving god condemn to eternal damnation all of the billions of people who happened to have been born in places where they believed in something else? Edit: mid--teens. I had been trying for years to convince myself that I believed it all.
Load More Replies...christians pretend that polytheism is "heathan" religion, meanwhile if a catholic runs a stop sign they must beg forgivness from Saint Stopsignicus the parton saint of Stop signs.
Yeah, they just renamed all the Pagan gods to make them into "saints" instead. The religion where you're not supposed to pray to anyone but "the god", and instead they constantly pray to these "saints". The irony is truly disturbing.
Load More Replies...I'm non religious but if I were to change, I can understand worshiping a sun god.
At least there's indisputable evidence of the existence of the Sun. Whether it cares what we do is still undetermined.

To be fair, monotheists meeting a different monotheist is like the top one. It's just a supernatural version of "my daddy can beat up your daddy".
Still the best comeback is Ricky Gervais: I don't believe in only one more god than you.
Whatever you believe in - they can't all be right, so no justification for believing in any of them.
Renowned historical figures are human beings, too. They have personal lives outside their accomplishments and the causes they fought for, something worth exploring as well.
One notable piece of information is President Abraham Lincoln’s battles with depression, and there are lengthy articles written about it.

Pyla: more like "before and after reliable breech loading rifles". European armies didn't start going for camouflage in a big way until the late 19th century. Back in the early 19th century it was generally more important to tell the difference between "friend" and "enemy" than to blend into the background. Back in the days of muskets, the enemy was *there*, drawn up in a huge formation you couldn't miss. The same in the days of horse-mounted men at arms. If you're going to charge on horseback into a huge mess of the enemy, you ain't hiding - but you do want to know who's on your side and who isn't. Things changed with the ability to shoot accurately from cover over long distances.
Load More Replies...The standard approach was to line up and wave your flag - as it was once described, the medieval equivalent of "Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough!"
cause back then you had to be seen to effectively lead the troops on the battlefield. On a modern battlefield if you're seen you're dead.
And the best part was that the King led them and risked his own life with theirs and didn't just sit back in a tower somewhere going, so, how is the battle going?

Focusing on individual stories is another strategy that Brouhard applies with his students. As he noted, crime shows, for example, appeal to people not just because of the suspense but also for the emotional connection.
“These elements resonate with my sense of empathy, compelling me to form an emotional connection with the show,” he wrote.

Worked with a fellow who had a phd in forestry. Very knowledgeable about his narrow topic but I 'm not sure if he could tell the difference betwixt a pine and a maple.
Hang on a bit - a lot of those old scholars had also fought as soldiers. You /really/ wouldn't want to try fighting them.
I won't be so foolish as to say "they knew less back then, ther's more to know now", but jack-of-all-trades have existed for a long time. The polymaths of ANY time can only have a limited knowledge of a given field (even if that's more than a layman), because they have to know several fields. It is a zero-sum game. A dedicated astronomer would wipe the floor with a polymath when it comes to knowledge of astronomy.

The hard part for me is to understand how things worked without zero. How did they communicate "No apples today" on the market?
Verena: the thing is, "zero" wasn't considered an actual number way back when. The concept of "nothing" obviously existed (monkeys understand the idea of "There's no fruit left" perfectly well), but actually coming up with "zero" as a concept to use in maths - specifically, to enable positional notation in base ten, and then (once they'd done that), all the other clever things you can do with it - that was a big leap.

So, parliament makes laws, and the king has to sign them. He has no say in it, just a ceremonial signature. Boudewijn was a very religious man, and on top of that he did not manage to have children with Fabiola. He could not sign the abortion legislation due to his beliefs, so he declared himself 'unfit to rule' (so not actually resigning) so the prime minister would be allowed to sign in his place. Also one of the reasons a lot of people question the need for this puppet show we call the royals.

Solid bone, substantial conformation, and not all that extra weight of bone and muscle to overheat.

The cure for scurvy was discovered and forgotten multiple times before it finally stuck.
New proofs for the Pythagorean Theorem have been devised throughout the ages. American president James Garfield came up with one of them.
I think it's been surmised by scientists who poke around in these thoughts, that if humans had all of our knowledge of science wiped out during the bottleneck event to beat all bottleneck events, including erasure of any documentation, that we would arrive at most of the same stuff we've already come up with. Might have different societal pressures to emphasize some arenas of science greater (imagine, feeding the world without the massive ag runoff, or fewer investments in military science). Interesting thought.

If you think Neanderthalensis was living on instinct alone, you have a lot to learn.
they were VERY adapted to a cold environment. Then the climate changed and the sapiens arrived - the rest is history
Load More Replies...Neanderthals were actually a very sophisticated genus. Early scientists didn't like the idea of them being 'human-like' & created the myth that they were chest banging creatures barely above animals. They knew how to survive in groups, which meant they understood leadership qualities & working for the best for the group, appreciated art with cave drawings, the possibility of deity worship. They were not just surviving on instinct. And the latest research is showing they didn't die out, but assimilated with homo sapiens.
It kind of makes me sad whenever I remember that homo sapiens sapiens are the only members of the genus homo as every single human species besides us is dead :(
*Most modern humans outside of Africa carry about 1-2% Neanderthal DNA, though this varies by individual and population, with some studies showing figures up to 4% or higher in specific groups, while people of primarily African descent have close to zero. Collectively, around 20% of the entire Neanderthal genome still exists across modern human populations, contributing to traits like skin, hair, and immunity*
