History Memes ------------------------------------------------------ Check these out or i will cry • Twitter - / vaazkl • Discord - / discord ----------------------------------------------------------
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, no you can't go back to Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works? ...and how do I get that song out of my head THIS time!?
My favorite man in history is probably Diogenes, he was exiled from his homeland so just wondered around from place to place. He would sleep in empty wine barrels and would go to the town squares and tell people how stupid they were. One of his only possessions was a cup that he used to drink water, after seeing a boy use his hands to drink he threw the cup away. Alexander the Great purposely went looking to meet him, he said that if he wasnt Alexander he would want to be Diogenes. Diogenes said if he wasnt himself he would also want to be Diogenes
4:30 The first one is wrong. Napoleon didn't die in a battle. He died imprisoned on the island St.Helen from stomachache. 6:57 Poseidon? Are you sure it wasn't Neptune? That is the roman version. 19:06 That's a phalanx. I would not like to fight them on flat land. If I had to, the answer is horse archers. But preferably, I would use an onager to chuck rock at them from a fortified position.
anyone else whip their head up in amazement and disgust at hearing Constantinople be referred to as "Con-stand-nip-O-lee" and then again when he said "Med-i-terr-err-ian" and then AGAIN when he said "Ath-EE-yan" instead of ATHENIAN?!?!?! bruh these are surface level historical terms your grandma might know

fun fact: Caligula, among others (i.e Nero, for example) was one of the worst Greek emperors in Greece. He was also mad, and did wage war against Poseidon, and thought he won. He killed many people in his rule, and also dug up Alexander the great, who did, in fact, name several cities after him, and called them Alexandria, just to take his armor.
Regarding bananas: The Gros Michel wasn't entirely wiped out, is still grown today, but by the time it took for the banana to recover and develop resistance to the disease the Cavendish had taken over. The Cavendish is going to suffer the same fate of the Gros Michel, and we might see a comeback in our lifetime.
2:07 The emu was put because once the Australians got their farms destroyed by emus and went to war with thwm, the emus won as they were highly bullet resistant and tanked Machine gun bullets. This sounds fake but search it up, its real.
I love history it’s like in the most tragic moment (your friend lost something useless like a pen that was expensive) you can drop the most out of base fun history fact like nothing happened
fun fact those to ships met again after i think like somewhere between 30 - 40 years later and said something along the lines of "still after all these years you are still the most beautiful ship in the world" it gives "your as beautiful as the day i lost you"
For those who don't understand the Emu General meme, in Australia, they had a crisis of Emus destroying farmland, killing and causing havoc on livestock. So the Army set up Machine guns and if memory serves around 12000 soldiers to try and diminish the Emu population. The Emus won that war.
6:57 Not only that, he then ordered his army to start picking up seashells as war trophies. This was all done before the planned invasion of Britain, and leading history scholars aren't sure if this was Caligula having a screw loose, or his way to punish the soldiers for not wanting the board the boats cause it was stormy.
18:05 That train is real, was used as a passenger train in Great Britain until just around 1960 Let that sink in... The meme should be "The present looked so much more futuristic... back in the past"
13:02 Asian history: New Emperor dropped, his Royal Highness Wang Yizhing has taken to the throne. 200 million instantly perish. The next year: a drought occurs in Tibet, causing multiple rivers to dry up. 800 million perish.
I can’t get over how you pronounced Constantinople for reference on how to say it if you make another history memes thing there’s a song by they might be giants called Istanbul (not Constantinople)
10:47. that would actually work, just not that well. the diving bell, an early form of underwater exploration worked on the same concept as this. the air doesn't just dissapear, it compresses and gets stuck, making this breathable bubble.
30:53 we did a similar thing for history class, but instead we wrote in the perspective of either a slave, lowerclass, upperclass, or clergy member in canada of 1800. Highlight examples are: "Wife just died, time to buy a new one" "Slave misbehaving, I demand a refund!" "Just caught smallpox, #dayoffwork"
2:41 Top Right: Serbia Top Left: Russia Upper Right: Slovenia Upper Left: the Netherlands Lower Right: Slovakia Lower Left: France Bottom Right: Luxembourg Bottom Left: Croatia I’m pretty sure that’s right but I’m too lazy to double check :D
For Anyone who doesn't know/understand the meme at 3:51 , There is a sea shanty Called The Drunken Sailor (or What shall we do with a Drunken Sailor) and the main line is "What Shall we do with a Drunken Sailor", and it goes on about different things you can do (nothing weird, mostly...) and this meme is saying that We finally found out what to do. Hopet his helps anyone who's confused (if anyone is confused)
0:12 hold the thought, what if the right arch was specifically designed to hold one window in the middle above, and that is the only reason for the slanted arch
20:05 Fun fact, the reason they looked so similar was because of Queen Victoria, who had so many kids married off all over Europe that her genetics were everywhere in royal families.
26:27 Sean-mcaster’s profile picture is a picture of Aimo Koivunen. He was a Finnish ski trooper in the Finnish Continuation War during WW2. While trying to escape Soviet soldiers, he overdosed on Pervitin (meth). He then traveled 250 miles in a few days and managed to get back to friendly lines.
14:49 the story of porphirios is crazy. Imagine being 30 years old then, for your entire life the port in the largest city you know of has been terrified by a super-aggressive whale. What’s also crazy is that despite the name translating to “purple boy” or “the purple one”, it being a sperm whale which has the single blowhole basically in the front, and the name being given by sailors, modern historians do not recognize the name as a d*ck reference.
2:39 on the right we have (from top to bottom) Russia, Netherlands, France and Croatia and on the left we have (Again top to bottom) Serbia, idk, I think Slovakia and Luxemburg.
The "cheap castle selling price" thing is usually because there's loads of expensive repairs & maintenance required. If only I could bankroll the castle lifestyle 😆
8:20 who would win a king from Greece who had conquered a vast and highly efficient empire comprised of many effectively integrated cultures and people put great behind his name or a guy from Punjab called Porus
45:35, ok so I think it was ThatHuman who did this one, but basically, all the sediments would build up the on the coast, making it better for crop growing. When plantations started to form, more plantations popped up here more than anywhere else, as it produced better crops. Plantations brought slaves, and African Americans are statistically more likely to vote Democrat, so these are actually very connected!

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, no you can't go back to Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works?
...and how do I get that song out of my head THIS time!?
"constennipoli"

Australia declared war on the Emu and lost
They wasted so much money just to get embarrassed
Idk how much money they wasted but someone had to buy the ammo…
Didn’t one of Australia’s prime minister shit himself
You literally copied the comment below you bruh
6:09 That “Actually you know what” was the most British-sounding this British man has ever sounded
2:08 The emu is there because they had a war with Australia or somewhere but yeah they had the great emu war

Alexander the Great purposely went looking to meet him, he said that if he wasnt Alexander he would want to be Diogenes. Diogenes said if he wasnt himself he would also want to be Diogenes
and he told him to get out of his sun
lol this is the earliest I’ve been. I’m sending this to my dad, he loves history
ive watched so many of these to the point i can know what song comes next and when it starts playing
Do you think it would be possible for you to put a different transition when the memes continue onto the next slide? Love this either way
Rasputin lookin like a bearded Neo 😂
I love this. If there was a youtube game, I feel like the MEME BIN would be one of the items in it.

umm akhchully 🤓☝
It’s kinda cool to see loads of memes about romans, I’m going to Rome for the first time soon
I love that that one sketch in horrible histories is a world wide spread meme for that one sentence. It's amazing
anyone else whip their head up in amazement and disgust at hearing Constantinople be referred to as "Con-stand-nip-O-lee" and then again when he said "Med-i-terr-err-ian" and then AGAIN when he said "Ath-EE-yan" instead of ATHENIAN?!?!?! bruh these are surface level historical terms your grandma might know
Love how passionate this man is about scones lmao
the reason why black plague was not spread in Poland is because the town were really separated from each other and most of the land were farms

Please VaazkL, I’m begging you, Greek mythology memess
HE MISPRONOUCED EVERYTHINGG
Yay more history funnies
can't wait until i get to use the inpregnated goblin maches
6:56 He also had them collet seashells as spoils of war
29:07 bec de corbin is my personal favorite

Morningstar is my favorite medieval weapon
This one kid at my school had a photo on his lock that said , shut up bozo, then the curse of rah.
He doesn’t know about the horrors of the great emu war
I love history it’s like in the most tragic moment (your friend lost something useless like a pen that was expensive) you can drop the most out of base fun history fact like nothing happened
fun fact those to ships met again after i think like somewhere between 30 - 40 years later and said something along the lines of "still after all these years you are still the most beautiful ship in the world"
it gives "your as beautiful as the day i lost you"
1:19 Now we know when that goblin wife thing started
If I had a nickel for every country who lost to birds, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.
For those who don't understand the Emu General meme, in Australia, they had a crisis of Emus destroying farmland, killing and causing havoc on livestock.
So the Army set up Machine guns and if memory serves around 12000 soldiers to try and diminish the Emu population.

18:05 That train is real, was used as a passenger train in Great Britain until just around 1960
Let that sink in...
The meme should be
"The present looked so much more futuristic... back in the past"
13:02 Asian history: New Emperor dropped, his Royal Highness Wang Yizhing has taken to the throne. 200 million instantly perish.
The next year: a drought occurs in Tibet, causing multiple rivers to dry up. 800 million perish.
I can’t get over how you pronounced Constantinople for reference on how to say it if you make another history memes thing there’s a song by they might be giants called Istanbul (not Constantinople)
That thumbnail is even more accurate than you think. How Dean Norris (Hank’s actor who’s 5’7”) looks on TV vs real life.
The emu is pictured with the other great generals because of the Emu War. A very funny thing that happened in reality
10:47. that would actually work, just not that well. the diving bell, an early form of underwater exploration worked on the same concept as this. the air doesn't just dissapear, it compresses and gets stuck, making this breathable bubble.
5:24 im starting tto get an idea of why bards are a viable class along fighters
Mediterrarium? 🤣
My mind went a bunch of strange places with that one! 😁

Highlight examples are: "Wife just died, time to buy a new one" "Slave misbehaving, I demand a refund!" "Just caught smallpox, #dayoffwork"
The reason for the emu is that Australia once waged war against emus, and LOST
The first one is so true!

The emu is there because of The Emu War in Australia in the 30s.
YEAH, FIGHT THE WATER!!!
At least one of the WWII leaders could have been an artist for a living.

45:19 i have known about this wonderful book for a while now and reference it in daily conversation
Finally (we need Instagram comment memes)
2:40 Top to bottom

9:36 I need to know which Roman emperor was killed by a lynx
38:09 This kinda reminds me of Asterix and Obelix.
