Where are all my history nerds at?! It’s great to be a pop culture nerd, but as a self-proclaimed history nerd myself, I can tell you that it’s just as much fun to geek out about the Treaty of Westphalia as it is about whatever the Avengers are up to. On top of that, history a) really happened and b) is a subject taught in schools, so enjoying it lets you feel smart. You’re basically as smart as someone who does recreational calculus!
And since in 2019 the only legitimate way to enjoy anything is to also enjoy memes about that subject, here are 15 history memes for my fellow history nerds.
