19 World History Memes To Entertain And Educate


The following internet memes are meant not only to entertain but to educate as well. These are the sort of memes you enjoy while trying to waste time on the internet while also not feeling like you're just wasting time.
Yes, they're oddly specific, but history memes are lots of fun. At the very least, they make us feel a lot better about living in the modern era, despite its flaws, because apparently, it could be a lot worse.

Maybe you'll learn something new from them, or at least find yourself amused by some of the jokes, even if they're a little dark (they're about some particularly memorable times in history, after all).
Here are some of this week's best history memes, courtesy of people who are especially devoted to joking about the world's distant past.
