About
History & Humanities, abbreviated as /his/, is a 4chan board dedicated to history and the other humanities subjects such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, and similar topics.
History
The board was created on January 11th, 2015 as a place for discussions regarding history. Its pinned post by a moderator states "/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.".[1] This rule, often ignored by posters who joined from /pol/, created hostility between the two boards, which made it one of /his/'s signature aspects (example post shown below).
Board Culture
The reputation the board built around itself is centered around the creation of bizarre fan arts, fanfics and copypastas involving various historical factions and figures, particularly Charles II of Spain, Oskar Dirlewanger, Anne Frank, Sir Arthur Harris, Herodotus and Voltaire, as they are often used as the board's mascots (shown below).
/his/ is also known for the creation and popularization of different original characters (examples shown below).
Related Memes
Preggo Anne Frank
As one of the board's signature mascots, Anne Frank became popular on /his/ after fan arts of her being pregnant were being drawn by the users. The concept was started by a post in /pol/ imagining an afternoon of lovemaking with a pregnant Anne Frank was posted for the first time on /pol/[2] April 18th, 2016. Months later, it appeared on /his/[3] where it gained its current popularity.
Disdain For Plebs
As an example of elitism on the board, plebeians (originally referring to other boards' posters) are often blamed for several historical catastrophes, as the patrician elite is praised. The face of the meme became a bust of the Roman Emperor Caracalla in reference to the Massacre of Alexandria.[4]
Charlesposting
Memes regarding Charles II of Spain became widespread as an argument against monarchists, incest[5] and "pure-blooded" elites in history that practiced it (example shown below).
Voltaireposting
Voltaire and his statement about the Holy Roman Empire being neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire[6] became a widespread meme on /his/ against the Germanic conglomerate. The statement is often abbreviated by a triple greentext arrow for "Holy", "Roman" and "Empire" (shown below, right). Voltaire and the HRE banner with a greentext arrow in the middle became the face and the logo of the board itself (shown below, left).
Goebbels' Chin
Photoshopped edits of Nazi Germany's Minister of Propaganda "Joseph Goebbels' chin have periodically appeared on the board, usually followed by a mockery of the German ideal of a Master Race[7] (Herrenvolk).
Dirlewangerposting
Oskar Dirlewanger was a Wehrmacht officer and leader of a unit infamous for its war crimes. Dirlewanger edits are usually accompanied by pop culture references and memes to make him look silly or funny. He is usually the avatar of /pol/acks on the board.
Bomber Harris
Sir Arthur Harris was the Royal Air Force (RAF) Commander In Chief during World War 2. On /his/ he is usually mentioned and praised for the Bombing of Dresden and his quotes are often used as anti-/pol/ and anti-German memes.
Fallo Ancora Daddy Dandolo
Enrico Dandolo and the Sack of Constantinople are usually referenced in memes against Byzantine posters or Greek posters. The line is a half translation in Italian that references "Do It Again Bomber Harris".[8]
Dovahhatty
Dovahhatty, also known as "Dovah" is a Brazilian YouTuber who gained popularity thanks to his Unbiased History series. Dovahhatty mentioned multiple times being a regular poster on /his/[9] and referenced the board and its memes in his videos (example shown below).
Scots Wikipedia Articles Vandalism
Scots Wikipedia Articles Vandalism refers to a controversy surrounding thousands of articles found on Scots Wikipedia that are, instead of Scots, written in mangled English. On August 25th 2020, a thread was made on the 4chan /his/ board that started a discussion about dozens of articles on Scots Wikipedia that weren't even written in Scots.
Historical Wojaks
Also known as /his/torical Wojaks, are detailed memes drawn by an anonymous user on /his/ that potray different historical figures and events using classic 4chan memes, but primarily the Wojak.

![File: Polish_king_John_II_Sobi(.).jpg (272 KB, 970x1200) O Anonymous 07/04/21(Sun)21:28:40 No.11487196 >>>11487197 >>11487248 It seems there are no English translations of King Jan Sobieski's correspondence related to the battle of Vienna except for an abridged version of his initial letter to the Pope written right after the battle, so l've decided to translate part of a letter to his wife where he describes his meeting with the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold following the battle. I think it's pretty interesting. Royal meetings really were a major pain. >We have met with the Emperor the day before yesterday, i.e. on the 15th. He had arrived to Vienna right away, within several hours of my leaving it. I expected not to meet him, since his arrival had been continuously promised even before the battle and put off day after day, hour after hour, so I sent the Vice-Chancellor [Jan Gniński] with my regards and best wishes, giving him one of the Vizier's banners as a memento of our joyous victory. >Having approached the city, the Vice-Chancellor stopped in some garden, awaiting the Emperor's arrival since he overtook him; but in the meantime his capable standard-bearer Jaskólski, who carried the banner for him, put it somewhere in the garden so incautiously and carelessly that it was stolen. This news reached me two miles away, so that I had to send a second banner, which I intended to keep for myself. But I have two more like it. O Anonymous 07/04/21(Sun)21:28:55 No.11487197 >11487205 >>11487295 >>11487870 >>11487196 (OP) >Having overnighted in his cloak or on some boxwood, since no one would let him into the city (we too have had some four nights like that), the Vice-Chancellor entered the city on the following morning. Then at midnight Gałecki [Franciszek Zygmunt Gałecki, Magister Culinae of Poland] came running to me from Sir Schaffgotsch [Count Christoph Leopold Schaffgotsch, the Emperor's ambassador to Sobieski] like a madman, saying the Emperor is greatly troubled that I want to talk to him through the Vice-Chancellor, and he wants to talk with me in person, not with my speaker; I then wrote to the Vice-Chancellor to have him stop until we can clarify what is going on and why. Two hours after that dispatch it was Sir Schaffgotsch who came running: by God, there's been a mistake! The misunderstanding was Sir Gałecki's, who said that the Vice-Chancellor will speak on behalf of the King, instead of the King himself speaking with the Emperor. Seeing that it was a joke and an irrelevancy [literally "they bury Jews under this pretext"], I said that "I personally speak with monarchs and dukes, and others as necessary; the Vice-Chancellor only replies on my behalf to officials, cities, chapters, etc., so your qualms are unnecessary; but tell me what you nee want, and why you are beating around the bush like this. This is supposedly about your right hand, but one can find a way for anything, you just have to say it." Sir Schaffgotsch replied that the Emperor is indeed troubled by the fact he cannot offer me his right hand now, with his Electors who represent the States of the Empire. I therefore presented him with a way. I would go with my army on the day, and once I see the Emperor approach I will ride out from my army towards him and we will greet each other on horseback and stop opposite each other: he among his Electors and I among my son, senators, and hetmans. They then eagerly accepted this method and that was how it went. and >> O Anonymous 07/04/21(Sun)21:29:58 No.11487205 >11487284 >>11488153 >>11487197 >The Emperor came with only the Elector of Bavaria, since the Elector of Saxony had already left; there were several dozen courtly gentlemen, officials, and ministers with him, guards behind him, trumpeters in front of him, and six or eight valets. I won't describe his looks since they are well known. He rode a bay horse, probably Spanish. He wore a justaucorps richly decorated with ribbons, a French hat with a clasp and white and brick red feathers, the clasp with sapphires and diamonds, his sword likewise. We greeted each other quite humanely; I gave him my regards in a few words of Latin, he replied in the same language, raise his hand towards his hat, the sight of which struck me stiff. He did the same with all the senators and hetmans, and his ally, prince Voivode of Belz with quite good words. As I stood there in front of him, I presented him with my son, who approached him and bowed. The Emperor did not even [Konstanty Krzysztof Wiśniowiecki, whose late cousin was the previous King of Poland and was married to the Emperor's sister]. However, there was nothing to (so that the world wouldn't be scandalized or laugh) but to speak a few more words to him, after which I turned on my horse, we bowed to each other, and I do went on my way. As for him, the Voivode of Ruthenia [Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski, the Grand Crown Hetman] led him to the troops as he asked, and he saw our soldiers who were tremendously miserable and loudly complained that he would not even award their great labours and losses with a tip of the hat.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/190/286/6c1.png "Jan Sobieski Writes to his Wife")
