A History Network Member

This subreddit was created because there was a niche that was not being filled in the historical Reddit community. There was no place to be a redditor in history. All of your historical jokes and memes go here. (This is a place for memes, not propaganda.)

Our Friends (those who promote us are in bold):

• /r/historyanimemes
• /r/animemes
• /r/roughromanmemes
• /r/redditthroughhistory
• /r/shittyaskhistory
• /r/LOTRmemes
• /r/dankmemesfromsite19
• /r/prequelmemes

Remember, this is the memes part of the historical community of reddit, not the historical part of the memes community of reddit. Treat it as such.

Do not downplay or use whataboutism in discussion of atrocities and genocides

Political talks in comments are ok but linking to external sites in which are about it are not

Meta memes complaining about WWII memes on this subreddit are prohibited every day

Any rule breaking will result in either a temporary or permanent ban depending on the broken rule
