If you were anything like me as a kid, pandas, you probably didn’t pay very close attention in history class. Memorizing dates and names seemed like such a bore, and my teachers could not manage to get the importance of the subject through my thick skull. But now that I’m an adult, I am fascinated by learning more about the world’s past, so I’m doing everything I can to catch up on those lessons I snoozed through.

Lucky for me, there are plenty of online resources available to increase my historical knowledge, including the Historic Daily Dose Instagram page. Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from this page that's dedicated to ensuring you don’t become Vitamin-History deficient, so be sure to upvote the ones you find most interesting and feel free to pass them along to your friends and family as well!

Historic Daily Dose is the perfect place to start if you’re looking to refresh or expand your knowledge of the world’s past. The account has posted over 600 times and has amassed an impressive 11.6k followers. From photos of The Great Depression to heartbreaking pictures from war zones, these images are not always easy to see, but they’re important reminders of past events that should never be forgotten. And if you’re wondering why you’re in need of a daily dose of history in the first place, Making History writes on their site that, “It is not just useful, it is essential.”

“Understanding the linkages between past and present is absolutely basic for a good understanding of the condition of being human,” Making History explains. “All living people live in the here-and-now, but it took a long unfolding history to get everything to NOW. And that history is located in time-space, which holds this cosmos together, and which frames both the past and the present.” Without studying history, we would have little to no context for ourselves and everything we experience on this planet. History is a living, breathing subject that we should all be invested in studying.

historicdailydose Report

According to a study conducted by the American Historical Association, some of the top reasons the public cares about studying history are a desire to be more informed about past events, finding learning about past events entertaining, and the belief that experience and knowledge about history are important to share with children. Unfortunately, however, 8% of the survey’s respondents reported not being interested in learning about past events at all. This may have something to do with the fact that the vast majority of Americans’ educational experiences in regards to history have heavily relied on learning names, dates and facts, rather than actually asking questions.

91% of Americans believe that fact-based education discourages students from learning more, which I would wholeheartedly agree with. Nobody, especially kids and teens, wants to be forced to memorize facts without any real understanding of why they’re important. So it’s no wonder that many of us have to make up for the lack of historical knowledge we gained in school as adults. That’s where Historic Daily Dose comes in, dear pandas. We hope you’ll learn something from this list that will inspire you to start asking more questions!

Having a greater curiosity about the past might even mean that you’re more interested in civic engagement as well. The American Historical Association found that there is a link between those who are interested in being more informed about the past and those who want to share that information with children and those who are involved in community problem-solving. There was an even stronger link found between those who value historical knowledge and those who take part in volunteer work. It seems like the more we understand the past, the more we care about taking care of the future of our world, and making it a better place, as well.

Eisenhower is the rich prodigy kid. Stalin and Hitler are the class bullies. Churchill is the wannabe cool kid who tags along with the two. They bully Mussolini, who is the annoying teacher's pet who cries easily. They don't mess with Getulio though, Getulio is the quiet kid you don't want to mess with. Hiroto is quiet but also the smart kid along with Eisenhower -- those two always get into arguements over the correct answer. De Gaulle is the class clown and Roosevelt's best friend. Roosevelt is the shy wimp but can be very sweet.

Yes it's a Brazilian president/dictator (he was elected, then seized power, then after being thrown out, re-elected again). There were quite a few rebellions and revolutions during the dictatorship and then WWII. He committed suicide in 1954 while still president. There's a lot more to it but it's a very long story, worth looking up if you're into it - search for Getulio Dornelles Vargas

Churchill looks like he always did, an entitled, spoilt, upper class twat with the intellect of a sardine. Before you condemn this remark, just dwell on the fact that he also thought of anyone from Africa as being intellectually inferior and condoned the use of concentration camps during the Boer War, on top of which he felt Apartheid was a good thing. Horrible human being who just happened to be in the right place at the right time when his psychopathy was deemed to be a good thing to drive the UK into what could have been a disastrous conflict. Hitler was pretty much the same apart from the gilded upbringing.

Churchill, Hirohito, and Roosevelt all have the look of kids who grew up with money. De Gaulle just looks unsure of himself, and damn if Eisenhower wasn’t a real cutie when he was a kid.

I recently watched the 2001 The Twilight zones. In one, Scarlet Johanson went back in time too kill baby hitler. She does, but the nursemaid buys a poor lady's baby and passes it off as baby Hitler and THAT is the Hitler we all know. So scarlet ended up making the monster she tried to destroy.

In a previous Bored Panda article, we got in touch with Susan and Beckett, co-hosts of The History Chicks podcast, to hear why they believe it’s so important to remember our past. Their show shines a light on some of the most fascinating women in history who are often overlooked, so the co-hosts shared how it came to be in the first place. “We launched the show in 2011 after Beckett realized there were not only no podcasts on a subject she wanted to learn about (Gilded Age Heiresses), but there were none about Women's History in general," they previously told Bored Panda. "Uttering, 'How hard could it be?' she contacted Susan. 12 years later, we laugh because we knew the answer to her question was, 'Pretty darn hard, starting with a nearly vertical learning curve'."

first black american pilots WWI : Eugene Bullard :( born Eugene James Bullard; October 9, 1895 – October 12, 1961) was one of the first black American military pilots, although Bullard flew for France, not the United States. On October 19, 1914, Bullard enlisted and was assigned to the 3rd Marching Regiment of the Foreign Legion (R.M.L.E.), as foreign volunteers were allowed only to serve in the Foreign Legion. Bullard joined 269 American aviators at the Lafayette Flying Corps on November 15, 1916, which was a designation for all American pilots who served with the French Air Service. For his World War I service, the French government awarded Bullard the Croix de guerre, Médaille militaire, Croix du combattant volontaire 1914–1918, and Médaille de Verdun, along with several others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Bullard#World_War_II

"Our favorite part of studying history is discovering the interconnectivity of it all," Susan and Beckett shared.

We also previously asked Susan and Beckett if they could share some of the most widely spread historical fallacies that they were taught or have heard. "For starters people who did Big Things, usually didn't do them alone," they noted. "Paul Revere, for example, wasn't the only one traveling with a message that night (and he didn't shout 'the British are coming' because people would have just thought he was coming from a pub since everyone in the Colonies was British.)"

"Sybil Ludington did a similar ride in Connecticut, truly alone, all on a horse, and remained uncaptured, and she was only a teenager at the time," Susan and Beckett told Bored Panda. "It's a way cooler story, but history often only remembers the people with the sizzle, or the louder mouths or, like in Paul's case, their names rhyme with enough words for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write a poem about him nearly 100 years after the fact."

"Sometimes embellished (or truly fake) stories are remembered because they are convenient or romantic, and telling them sweetly and simply allows people to accept the behavior," the co-hosts went on to explain. "It makes the story less messy, and also, less true, like the story of Pocahontas. There was no romance with John Smith. He was a scoundrel, for starters, and she was a kid when their paths crossed. She also was later kidnapped by the British, forced to change her identity, ignore her Powhatan heritage, and marry a white man, but those facts are often omitted."

"Sometimes propaganda justifies mistreatment," Susan and Beckett pointed out. "By making someone sound of worse character than they actually were, it lets us think, 'They deserved what they had coming.' Dismissing them with a catchy, oft-repeated, and fabricated phrase like, 'Let them eat cake,' which Marie Antoinette never said, is very effective in reshaping history to fit a purpose."

Entire villages burned alive. And the Red Army was made up of people from all over the Soviet Union. Some of the best snipers were Siberian peoples like the Nenets.

So why is it important to learn history accurately? "It's important so that we don't perpetuate half-truths, misconceptions, and downright lies," the History Chicks told Bored Panda. "To understand history, we have to see the whole story, not just the soundbites of history. If we just repeat an oversimplified version lacking perspective and context, we only think we know the whole story, but we're not even close. And here's a riddle: Can history repeat itself if the history we're repeating is wrong and incomplete?"

And if you're looking to further your history studies and correct any false tales you've been taught, Susan and Beckett say that, "The greatest resource available to anyone is a library card. It gives you access to passionate advocates for knowledge (commonly known as 'librarians') and to apps like, Libby, which are packed with digital resources you can access from any place you have an internet connection."

"We think a great place to start learning history is small: with one person," the co-hosts shared. "Learn about that person, and you will understand their times, their limitations, their societal challenges, their geography... Their world. Learning about that world will always lead you to another."

The Trinity Explosion was the first ever detonation of a nuclear warhead, conducted by the United States as part of the Manhattan project. It was tested at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico. The explosion had the same power as 25 kilotons of TNT, roughly the same in power as the Fat Man, the nuclear warhead that was dropped on Nagasaki.

7 years after the war ended, it must've taken a lot of time to clear everything.

Either he was suicidal and had nothing to lose, or there were tests done beforehand. Either way, that's going to hurt like a m**o when he wakes up and there are bruises covering his body.

Was it worth it to take this giant beauty from it’s natural habitat and killing it instead of letting it live its natural life in peace?

Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun - A man whose allegiance Is ruled by expedience - Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown - "Nazi, Schmazi!" says Wernher von Braun - Don't say that he's hypocritical - Say rather that he's apolitical "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department!" says Wernher von Braun - Some have harsh words for this man of renown - But some think our attitude - Should be one of gratitude - Like the widows and cripples in old London town - Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun - You too may be a big hero - Once you've learned to count backwards to zero - "In German, und Englisch, I know how to count down - Und I'm learning Chinese!" says Wernher von Braun (Tom Lehrer)
