Impress Your Friends With Worthless Knowledge From These 20 History Memes

History memes are some of the most popular ones out there. They've been growing in popularity a lot in the past couple years, and this does make a good amount of sense. Perhaps it's easier to laugh at the world's past than face the present, where we're all living in fear of the pandemic and a nuclear war, plus the entire time we're stuck watching Karens claim we're being microchipped by Elon Musk (why would anyone bother to microchip us in the first place?).

It's a bleak world, but it's good to put things in perspective with the help of a good meme, because things have always sort of been this way. Well, not exactly the same, but things were still pretty ridiculous. History memes remind us we're not the only weird generation out there. Here are some of the best recent history memes full of useless history facts you can brag about knowing at trivia night.
