For all the flack that it gets, by and large, the American education system is pretty good. But as someone who went through that system, I have to say, we love ourselves. Ancient history, world history, government history, and any other history you care to think of all pale in comparison to the wild favoritism the curriculum puts on learning American history. 

But the world is much bigger than just the United States, and society has been around for much longer. We will forgive you if your teachers didn't teach you much about the origins of Viet Minh. 

So if you're looking for a few quick refreshers on the rest of history, look no further than these funny historical memes. Each one is a quick pitstop into a different time and place, and unlike in your history class, you'll actually learn about more than just American history.
