  1. Oke that is the UK and France covered, now the rest of us

  2. Maybe you brits only study that small fraction of it. Here we prefer a wider aproach.

  3. That honestly could’ve been posted by an American.

    “I only learned my own countries history in school. Therefore, it must be the only history in existence”

  4. Italian history:

    Big bang-753 B.C: absolutely nothing happened.

    750 B.C-476 A.D: Roman empire.

    467-1861: The peninsula splits into multiple different countries (some of which become filthy rich thanks to maritime trade) as every single superpower and kingdom on this continent fights a millienia long battle royal to decide who will control it.

    1861-today: After more than a thousand years the peninsula is once again under the control of a single political entity but everything else went to shit.

  5. What about the part where we discovered big booty Latinas? That’s clearly the most important part

  6. British History

    It all starts with Boudica. Then we are repeatedly and unceremoniously anal raped until around the time of Henry V. Then Henry VIII accidentally founds his own church, causing the rest of Europe to become insufferably annoyed. A bit of cheeky piracy follows, and before we know it, we have an empire. After giving the French a good thrashing a few times, we suddenly find ourselves in a **golden age** (1815-1914), which lasts about a hundred years. Then, inevitably, those annoying Europeans ruin everything again, and it’s been downhill ever since.

    Boudica or Queen Guinevere

  7. The size difference is accurate, considering during most Anglo-Fr*nch wars, Fr*nce had about 3x the population. People forget this fact now that the two countries are approximately equal size.

  8. I can tell you over majority of world history in Chinese public school curriculum are western history, they only mentioned other civilization as token and exams barely touched upon those. Within western history, yep, you anglos have the biggest share. You know, if China ever became a liberal democracy in the future, it would probably be as Anglophile as Japan.

  9. Barry finding out there is other history than the 100 years war:

  10. The least interesting part of European history is england and France, much more happened in the Mediterranean.

  11. If those francs would just stop going into revolutions all the time…

  12. I wish it was that simple, I really do. Put Charlemagne there and it becomes a fucking nightmare.

  13. The history the HRR alone with all those states within is complicated enough…

  14. Swiss history:

    Big bang – 6000 BC:

    ![gif](giphy|jcxtvm2bsZDH2)

    6000 – 1000 BC: Proto Jan (swamp dwellers in stilt houses)

    1000 BC – 60 BC: Celts, before it was cool.

    218 BC: Hannibal visited us.

    60 BC: a wild Cesar appears.

    60 BC – 400 AD: Celts but talking latin.

    400 AD: Hans visited us, because we had cities, amphitheatres, stone buildings and baths.

    1291: some dudes may or may not have met on some patch of grass to sign some treaty

    Around 1300 – 1648: a bunch of poor hillbillies larped being a country, while de jure were part of the Holy Roman Empire, just so poor nobody was interested to enforce them to pay taxes. The ROI was not worth it, when the Hanse existed. Quite a few brawls with the Austrians.

    1648: Pax Westphalica.

    1648 – 1798: Poor hillbilly EU

    1782: Last witch burning in Europe

    1798 – 1814: Fr*nch colony even having a Fr*nch colonial flag in red, green and yellow.

    1814 -1848: Still poor central EU

    1848: Civil war, Switzerland is a real country now.

    Mid 19th. century: Barry realized we have bigger heaps of stones, got horny, left Susan at home and started climbing them.

    1848 – now: Haha bitch, were rich now.

  15. Spanish History:

    I’m a French ally (gets fucked over by England after France looses all it’s power)

    I’m an English ally (gets fucked over by France after England looses all it’s power)

    Repeat that 20 times and that’s our history

  16. At least we now know how the yanks learned to study “history”

  17. Fake and states-pilled, what about the Ottomans, HRE, colonization reformation, thirty-year war, the ancient history and I could go on for a very long time.
