16 Humorous Yet Informational History Memes To Distract You From The Present

History memes have gained a lot of popularity over the years as meme culture, in general, has grown. In fact, the Reddit community at /r/HistoryMemes now boasts over 4 million members and hosts some of the most popular memes about both the well-known parts of world history and the more minor trivia facts that can change the way you look at things from the past. History memes are trendy because they make our many years of school history classes worth something. We're told we study history so the bad doesn't repeat itself, but clearly, they're repeating themselves anyway, so in reality, we're just studying it so we can make some dark jokes about the Mongols or World War II. For once, we finally have a use for all that studying we did for that history exam. So if you're looking to make your education count, look no further because these are some of the best history memes to make those history facts "hit different."
