Author Topic: Historical Misconceptions I get pissed at.  (Read 6819 times)

"Just" in my view is within a 3 week period.

My history teacher specified though I can't remember when exactly.

Another misconception:
Dragons didn't exist during knight-times. Bullstuff.

Misconception #4: Americans think they live in the greatest country in the world.
The Truth: Only Americans like America, the rest of the world hates it.

Misconception #2: The Middle ages were a time where knights, chivalry, honest monarchies, happiness, and peace were spread across all of Europe.

The Truth: I only really see little kids believe all those bullstuff stories, but some naive people still fail to know what really happened. Corrupt organized religion, lack of technological breakthroughs, crime, disease, and many small wars made the middle ages one of the worst times in human history.
But was also one of the most important ages in human history. Don't forget that. :o

Of course they did, with all the
knights, chivalry, honest monarchies, happiness, and peace across all of Europe.

We're the main good guy in every game. We always win and have won every war ever. And are completely innocent and have never done wrong because we are awesome.

Native Americans are always portrayed as the bad guys. Why? British people stole their land and livings. Sometime agreements were made; more often than not, they weren't. Cause and effect. Wronged and retaliate.

Yes, because Columbus was the FIRST European to discover the New World.

Try Leif Errikson(Spelled wrong, lol.)

Columbus did not even travel with pilgrims, nor did he EVER KNOW that he discovered a new land.

Indeed some were, that was why some agreements weren't made, either due to fighting or stubborness on both sides.
