Human history is full of gruesome power struggles, cruel executions, sickening genocides, famine, disease, and history facts sometimes seems unappealing and grim, to say the least. Luckily, Twitter account @MemesOnHistory is shedding some light on our past's interesting facts by using the internet's most beloved funny memes.

The best part, however, is that almost all of these historical memes are so accurate, publishers could even include them in their textbooks. And they should. Students would probably relate to history memes better and understand the historical events better if, for example, SpongeBob SquarePants excerpts were used to illustrate the Second World War or US Middle East Policy. Scroll down to enjoy this list of some of the best memes, compiled by Bored Panda, and while you're at it, pay attention and learn some funny history facts, why don't you!
