14 History Memes To Distract From The Present
When we're feeling down about the many problems with the modern day, history memes can be helpful. Mostly because they remind us that we're just living through another big event in the grand scheme of things, and based on past trends, the world has always been in pretty terrible shape. Maybe it's not the most optimistic thought, but it's comforting to joke about the mistakes people made hundreds of years ago rather than fixating on our own.

If not, maybe they'll at least teach you some pretty weird history facts that you never knew about before. Thanks to the efforts of people who know way more about history than the rest of us, we've got some of the best history-themed memes to share with you today, so here are some of our new favorites.
