Remember the days of history classes in high school? In those times, many of us weren't overly thrilled to be learning about World Wars and very specific names and dates so early in the morning. As we mature, though, those things we used to find boring amazingly become very interesting. History is one of those things we used to take for granted. There are so many different niches and points in time to learn about, and history is literally a never-ending source of information. It may come as a surprise to some, but there are tons of people out there who are both die-hard history buffs and meme lovers. These people are doing the amazing work of combining the two, and the result is history memes.

History memes are funny yet informative memes that cover a huge variety of historical topics. Some of them you may understand right away, some may teach you some new facts, and others might spark a new interest in you that you didn't know you had. Take some time to learn something new and be entertained at the same time with these 20 history memes from Reddit's /r/HistoryMemes.
