25 History Memes That Technically Count As Educational

There are lots of genres of memes out there, from the wholesome to the oddly specific. There are some memes that entertain, some that can be upsetting, and some that educate. Though it might be surprising, history memes are actually some of the most common. They're incredibly popular online, with millions of dedicated fans of history creating some entertaining, factually-accurate memes. Plus, looking at them technically counts as studying, since they're informative.

So, once again, it's time to look back on ancient history for some surprising comedy. It's amazing what sorts of things people can find a way to joke about, but somehow, they manage to make all that high school history knowledge feel like it's important, or at least relevant in interpreting memes, because a little bit of willingness to learn about history opens up a whole new world of fun jokes. Maybe it'll give you some interesting trivia facts to share with your friends, too. You never know when you're going to need those.
