Dumb shit

I didnt know the persian wars existed until I saw 300.
Im greek btw.

Literally sat there in the theater thinking "man I hope the greeks win"

I thought the Romans literally invented roads.

He is a fyromite?

I dont remember why exactly but one of my first history teachers taught us the DUMBEST shit.
Basically, she said that centuries arent just "100 years" but more like historical periods. Example : The 17th century was going from 1650 to 1789.
I was young and it fucked me up for some time.

He Greek.

From a sociocultural perspective it makes more sense to divide ages by major events (i.e. the establishment of the Commonwealth of England to the French Revolution) rather then on the button every 00.

I thought the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan were of at least the destructive power we have today and that the fireball of the bombs annihilated entire cities with there only being massive craters left and that those places would be uninhabitable for hundreds of years. In truth I still don't know how much actual physical destruction modern nuclear weapons are capable of and how much of the damage would just be radiation and the nuclear winter and so on .

I used to believe the whole WW2 muh ebil Germans meme, not knowing that (((they)))) funded that whole regime to get their ethnostate in the end. What a fool I was.

I really thought armies formed up in formations and then broke formation as they charged their enemy - like they do in movies.

I had no reason to question it.

As a kid I used to think Boudicca was someone to look up to
turns out she was a violent savage barbarian who murdered innocents

I thought Jogaila and Vytautas were brothers.

*Jagiełło and Vitaŭt

AHAHAHAHA no.

used to think Thermopylae was actually only 300 spartans
used to think crusades were a reaction
used to think celts were peaceful defensive people
used to think vikings were central-european people
used to think huns were similar to mongols/hoard peoples
used to think mongols were just a hoard of horse archers that just sacked their way through and never developed/built anything
used to think muslims were same as above
used to think that the mongols couldn't invade Europe because it was difficult (they had a plan to invade Europe and was not implemented due to the death of Batu Khan)
used to think Samurai were deep into the "honorable fighting" meme and their favourite weapons were Katanas and Polearms (Actually horse archery)
used to think medieval plate armor was inconvenient and difficult to move in (it was only heavy)
used to think medieval plate armor was effective
used to think the american war of independence was a war instead of a tiny out-back mudhut quarrel with disgruntled farmers
used to think that american civil war/gunpowder era battles were some bloody business
used to think bayonet charges from 1700-1870 were a thing (they weren't)
used to think bayonet charges in WW1 were a thing
used to think two nukes were necessary to end the war with Japan
used to think that German tiger tanks fought in the western theater in europe (they did, but less than 3 small engagements)
used to think air attacks on WW2 were effective
used to think most aerial claims in WW2 were true (overclaiming was common in pilots, especially American and German ones)
used to think the Soviets made "human wave attacks"
used to think the Iraqi army was shit (before 2000)
used to think the Syrian army was good
used to think eastern bloc aircraft/tanks were shit through the cold war and only relied on numbers
used to think some Russian prevented a nuclear war by detecting an equipment failure (a reddit meme, he was just about to fire on an american sub, not fire 10 nukes at the US)

You’re still wrong on several accounts

Such as?

You gradually lost your mind in your own shitpost

not an argument

Bong? or welsh?
I Thought bongs liked romans

he's turkish

Nope, he's Turkish. Mehtușem Aleqsandr was a Turk!

I thought the PRC was true China.... But true China died with Chiang when he lost his shit and became crazy.

A number of your points are debatable, or aren't black and white.

For example, although "used to think two nukes were necessary to end the war with Japan" is technically true, overlooking the importance of unconditional surrender completely distorts the picture.

I'd wager that you weren't even aware that the Nazis were hoping to settle for conditional surrender.

Two nukes were not neccessary, one is enough.
Two nukes on two cities populated by civilians while you are playing the good guys is not good, dropping them off the coast or on the countryside to send the message through (or dropping them on an actual military target like Kure port or Sasebo naval yard)
Two nukes are not even necessary in the first place, Japan could be sieged. Two nukes were used because the USSR was invading Manchuria and jewstein was afraid he's gonna lose lands to his future enemy, Stalin.

Fuck back to re**utand stop re**it-spacing. Retard.

>playing the good guys

Kill yourself for forcing this meme.

>hurr durr hiroshima was enough even though the high command did not surrender after hiroshima and it took nagasaki + the soviet invasion of manchuria for the matter to be forced through in the first place

>hurr durr I want communist japan

>hurr durr I regurgitate reddit talking points and then tell people to go back

>gommie jaban
there it is, the redditor call of defeat.

After the first was dropped, Japan still wouldn't surrender in the only meaningful sense you can surrender (that is, fully).

End of discussion - all you need to know was that Japan was not willing to surrender.

>Japan could be sieged

>Most likely create more civilian deaths
>Create more US deaths
>Waste more money
>Destroy more Japanese infrastructure and limit ability of Japan to successfully stabilise as a democracy

Why?

Not Veeky Forums related really, but I was like in 5th grade when Pluto was removed from the list of planets, some kids thought Pluto literally disappeared from the Solar system.

I used to think prussia was a kingdom founded by the marriage of russian and persian nobility

That's dumb as fuck, yet somehow internally consistent and believeable

Publix school system everybody....

When I was about 12-15 thought the romans came before the Greeks. I knew what everybody was doing over all but not when.

I thought romans and greeks were blue eyed blonde people just like germanics

Pic related, roman fresco of a Latin man

I used to think World War I happened like, a hundred years before the second one.

I thought the Roman Empire was the same as the Greek golden age.

I used to think that Yugoslavia was always a socialist republic

I thought Yugoslavia was part of the Soviet Union a few months ago.

I used to think the Romans were all a bunch of swarthy Sicilian type people.

Aleksanteri Suuri was a Finn

I thought Brutus was the crazy Commodus emperor from the Galdiator because they both killed their father, though now I know Brutus might have not been Caesar's son

This, KARA BOĞA

I knew BC meant Before Christ, but I thought AD meant After David.
I thought it was Louis XIV who sold the Louisiana Purchase to the US and that was why it was named after him.
I also thought the Marquis de Lafayette was black.

I thought Germany the War.

I thought the Holocaust had happened.

I used to think China and Japan had samurais to this day and that Afghanistan was somewhere in Syria.

>When I was six to seven, I thought the Great Wall of China was in Japan.

In hindsight they're all Chinks anyway.

Lol, go get out

Not dumb, but my first world history/geography class in like 6th grade we didn't have to learn anything about african counties because according to the teacher "they don't matter". He was right.

screencap this

How did you not learn that at school in Greece?

I used to think the ancient Romans and Greeks all had the same hair and eye color. Then I developed a brain.

Already did

I thought Alexander the Great was the creator of the Holy Roman Empire till my late teens.
No idea why.

Thats just asking for 500 books about academics arguing which events are the important ones. Centuries make much more sense and are objective.

that's because you're a dumbass.

same. not that teachers taught us it though. They arent military officers or military history experts as it is a specific specialty. Plus school never focused on geography for some reason. Most American schools, especially.

Naw, it's just Eurocentrism. But considering this bias was demonstratively part of your upbringing as a child, it's not surprising you think this way.

>Eurocentrism
Tell me about the international relevance of the Kangdomz

fairly certain he was Dutch, actually

When I was really little, like 3-4 years old, I thought that China and Rome were the same thing because of Mulan

Nope, he was proud Russian

This deserves its own thread

Do not

In 4th grade I asked a guy who grew up during The German occupation if he heard about Pearl Harbor.

I thought it happened in my country.

My mate Alex was a Brit.

When I was 4 years old I thought what every country have it's own religion.

Fuck sake, it might as well by now

I was really surprised when someone on TV mentioned other christian countries. I really thought Jesus was russian.

Him and his followers are so easy to localize.

>iisus isn't Russian
?

I always thought Jamaica was in Africa.

>used to think medieval plate armor was effective
...but it was?

>Romans and Greeks all had the same hair and eye color.
oh lets at a ancient greek painting then
oh look at that, black eyes and black hair

deal with it, pigskin

>Hungarians are Huns.
>Romania was a similiar state as Israel, but created because Romani Gypsies needed their own country.
>Carthage and Egypt were Arab civliziations
>Turkeys originated in Turkey
>Sumerian civilization was Turkish
>Roman Republic was greater period than the Roman Empire
>Etruscans were Russians/Slavs

Nope

he was trolling, go back to Re**it

>Scoobs really did solve all those mysteries

What a damn fool I was....a damn fool indeed.

>Nordics
>in the sun

But you do realize the climate was diffrent in the ancient times, do you? There wasn't a very big diffrence between Ukraine (Nordic urheimat) and Italy.

>the state of Veeky Forums
Climate change nigguh!

Out of agruments? Okay, then I won the discussion. Proto-Nordics civilized and subjagated swarthy races like m*diterrenean.

This is your volk's look btw.

>all these retards reading the map backwards
He was Punjabi, you uneducated buffoons.

Actually he's a Dane. A great honour to the Vikings

Up until I was around 27 I though the holocaust actually happened.

>Roman Republic was greater period than the Roman Empire
Fuck you mean by that?

Indeed my BLACK TURK brother

Truly I have been subjugated by the Masterrace once more I sure hope he spares me and my family that all look like the Kurd in pic. Now I can only hope my Volk's look will be assimilated by pure Nordicoid Germanig eugenics.

When I saw King Kong as a small child (maybe 5 or 6) I thought it was based on a true story. An elephant sized Gorilla climbing the Empire State Building didn't seem that wild to me.

that is greek and this is one is a portrait made by romans of a roman man, pigskin

>WE
C’mon, complete the sentence, Mohammed von Berlinistan!
