The subreddit “History Memes” is a place for history buffs and casual enthusiasts alike to enjoy top-quality funny posts about our civilization's past and, perhaps, even learn something new. Humor is one way to cope with the rights and wrongs of history, and here we have the newest selection from the community that really knows how to capture the spirit of human history through memes.

Estonians never did raid the world for spices. You cant blame us for not using them! We did however fall in love with the humble potato once our owners coaxed us to eat it.

One of the oldest Christian communities still in existence. That's why their form of Christianity is also really important for the study of the history of theology and their religious texts are crucial for the academic study of the Bible. At least in Germany, most departments of theology offer basic courses in Amharic.

Why Were Our Ancestors So Impressed By This, Were They Stupid ?

In fairness those things were clearly not being done if someone had to write them down and became famous for doing so. Common sense is not common. As anyone who interacts with enough people is well aware!

Would have been my reaction as well, to be honest. It's just the fact that their existence is scientifically well established knowledge and tv-documentaries that lets me believe it. Awesome little freaks!

"Race Is A Social Construct Bro"
Earonn - 56 minutes ago
I mean, yeah - what are 'races'? Skin colour is a spectrum, so is everything else. We don't call white and black horses different "races", so it would be helpful to stop that idiocy in regards to Humans as well. "Racism" as a word is only a handy short term for all the idiotic behaviours of racists. Or do you want to call it "Skin-colourism" or "Parent's-homecountryism"?

Stalin When His Spies Actually Know Stuff
Kristiina Männiste 50 minutes ago
Once he believed the invasion he went and hid in his room. The devastating losses of the first days come largely from the fact that people who were trained to not think and only follow Stalin habitually waited for orders that never came.

People love to joke about France in WWII, but they had a quite effective Resistance movement. And especially USians should shut up right now, because so far their people's "resistance" was a Friday afternoon 'general strike' and, some marches, plus lengthy explanations why they cannot fight back against ICE and the orange child ra/pist.
