41 History Memes That Prove War Is as Ridiculous as It Is Tragic

It's wild when you think about it—no one in history has ever wanted war, yet humanity has somehow spent its entire existence fighting. Every time someone utters "This will be the war to end all wars," history gives them a swift smack on the head and says, "Think again." The past few years, it's felt like we're constantly a hair's breadth away from WW3, and you have to wonder: can we finally learn something from history?

These history memes focus on wars and the absurdity surrounding them—because as dark as it gets, sometimes all you can do is laugh to keep from crying. From questionable military strategies to leaders who didn't quite think things through, these memes remind us that while war may shape history, it never ends well for anyone. There are no victors in war—just survivors. So let's hope for a future where world peace finally stops being a punchline.
