Hi EmperorTigerstar, you should do a video on the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation. I bet a lot of your subscribers would be very interested in this topic.
A girl in my 9th grade English class asked if Greece still exists, so I told her that it hadn't existed since 1967 when the Danish nuked it in the Greco-Danish Hyper War. She just said, "Oh."
@@gaveferia1421 no no no you got it all confused the civil war of the finno-korean khanate from 1976. Same casus belli, different war. I mean it's rather easy to fall for this, the factions in both wars relied heavily on the use of battle kangaroos...
@LEGI0N Wolf I mean we all think about that,like if for example,Canada gets attacked by greece,canadians would hate greece,if our family members were imvolved
One of my History teachers was explaining the Franco-Prussian War and said with all conviction: "The War ended when the Germans invaded Moscow and defeated the Russians"
Gary Romano OMG YOUR GOT IT SUPER DUPER WRONG, the war ended when the Finnish-Bhutanese Union Sent robot-emus to nuke Prussia, who was a puppet of Liechtenstein, then the Communist Republic of Austria sent 20B troops to do an oblique maneuver, which angered the Russians which made them declare on them. Then the American-Paraguayan Union got angry and sent 200000000000 tons of Oil to drop at the Russian capital. Learn history omg
This isn't a horror story but it's still hilarious. Ok, so, while learning about the Russian Revolution, I had this history teacher who was staunchly anti-communist. Thing is, he looked *a lot* like Lenin. So, here I was in this history classroom, watching the spitting image of Lenin tell us why communism was evil. Needless to say, I had a very hard time controlling my laughter.
My history teacher says the same but her reasoning is just to good to get pass she says that a desert is a piece of land that no plants or mid temperature animals can live on and the plant are also mid temperature

I remember when my 8th grade history teacher said that WW2 started over Denmark and Sweden having a border conflict. I corrected him and he sent me to the principal’s office. Good thing he isn’t teaching anymore.

it actually was made of marble, originally the pyramids were white, the only reason they don't appear to be now is because they've faded so much with time that its impossible to tell just by looking at them

one day i told my friend today is stalin`s birthday and my friend asked who is stalin and then i told him that he was the second leader of ussr during WWII and then he asked where is ussr
Once my teacher said that Asia covered 1/3 of the Earth's land area. While that is true, when the teacher drew on the board to explain it to the students, she drew a circle, divided it into four parts and marked 3 parts as Asia........
One time my history teacher, when talking about the Yugoslav wars was going over the countries' leaders and a classmate in an obvious attempt to troll the teacher, asked about the Bosniak president's name, thinking her thick Indian accent would make her unable to pronounce the name. To his horror, she smoothly pronounced his name and then in Bosnian, called him a smartass(his smug expressions had bluntly told her his true intentions). Later discovered she had learned Bosanski during her teenyears. Probably the most memorable momemt in history class for me.
In year 8 we had a teacher who was teaching us about WW1, and she pointed to a map of Poland and said "Now the Battle of Stalingrad happened somewhere around *waves around vaguely* here..." The whole front row of the class just yelled out at that so at least there was that.
Adonnus100 Battle. Of. *STALINGRAD.* Are you talking about WW2 or something? The Central Powers never got that far. Probably they did but I don't know that so correct me if I'm wrong.
SciBlast Official / New Videos They did get that far, but at that point the war was pretty much over for Russia and no major central powers units got there.
I was having a History exam and one of the questions was “Name one country that was allied to Germany in ww1, I wrote down Bulgaria and when I got the test back it was marked as wrong...
@EuropeBall Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Japan (nominally) and Finland. Six, however you could include Vichy, but if you do that you should include Yugoslavia as well, so eight
I once had the principal's daughter, who eventually became her class valedictorian, ask; "Wasn't WWII the day that the Jews bombed Pearl Harbor?" I still hate humanity.
This happened in my english class, we were reading othello and the teacher wanted to show us where venice is. She found a screen shot from europa universalis 3 and the map was filled with the weird border gore you found in that game
8th Grade History Teacher: "Prussia was Pre-Russia and was the kingdom that formed the Russia we know today." I told him that he was wrong and started teaching the class some basic European History. The next week the teacher forgot I was in his class.
@@brandonwang4270 same lmao i thought Prussia was a Russian kingdom or something before knowing it was the one that unify Germany then i realized it was German all the time
The confusion about (P)Russia only exists in the English world, I think. In German, 'Preußen' (Proiss-An) and 'Russland' (Roos-Land) cannot be confused with each other.
Joshou I mean technically.... Mughal/Mogul is just a Persian form of mongol. Sure they were 2 different empires with one being a kind of Muslim succession of the other, but I could see where the mistake came from.
Godzilla's Wrath no no no that is a common misconception. The American civil war was when America split between north and south over a disagreement about wether or not to join the Soviet Union.
I remember a teacher when I was 10 or 11 told me planes were invented in WW2, unlike tigerstar I wasn't overly concerned with being polite and talked about the red baron and flying circuses in WW1 bcs I knew about them from WW1 documentaries I used to watch as a kid.
Remember when Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as President of the United States back in 1964? I think his running mate was Andrew Jackson and they were elected to fight the Mexico war
Ramses II the Great to be fair I think old hickory would be pretty up for it. But yeah, anyway. Back when the Russians became filthy communists back in the war of 1812, America assumed its role of World Savior to push back the filthy commies, but they, through Fidel Castro, turned Mexico communist. That's what started the Mexico War.
That is very sad. However, maybe she meant a specific breed or type of horse, e.g. one suited for the steppe-lands. However, even still, I cannot think of one.
That's true though, I saw it in a documentary about King Arthur once. Before the Mongols they simply hopped around and used coconuts to make the sounds.
So... I'm German, and my German teacher once talked in class about the GSG-9, Germany's police special forces unit (and I don't know how we ever got to that topic), mentioning that they were very secretive - so secretive, in fact, that nobody really knows what "GSG-9" even stands for. The thing is, _I_ knew that wasn't true, in part because my family knew people who knew GSG-9 members, to the point that we even had an official _souvenir plate_ back home with the whole name spelled out in black and white. The answer is really just a short Google search (or Counterstrike game) away. So I raised my hand and said, "Actually, the name means 'Grenzschutzgruppe 9', or 'Border Defence Group 9". So my teacher gives me that arrogant kind of sideways glance and replies, "No. Nobody knows what it stands for." I was left absolutely speechless. That's what the cream of the crop of Germany's education system looks like, clearly.
I guess a lot of education systems are like that then I think I’m done reading these most of them are about girls thinking stuff and probably never studied a map before
@@mitsvanmitsvanio6106 It could have, but I've been looking at this map for years in school, almost anyone from (central/northern) Balkan would recognise it's Ottomans

You should speak out now that you are in college. If the professor is worth anything he will be thankful that you stopped him from teaching misinformation.
Elan Cook Exactly! They aren't just teachers in most cases they are academics who publish papers of their own, if they have a mistake someone pointing it out is really helpful.
the only thing you should be careful of is not calling out truth as mistakes. i did that once in class and while the teacher wasn't angry at me it made me look like an idiot. on the other hand, there where several other ocassions in which i corected teachers.
All these stories are horrific, but at least that one is kind of funny, because of the character portrayal of the teacher and the hilariousness of mixing up Cornwall and Corsica.
I once had a teacher tell us about the alliances in World War I by using a colored map of modern day, post Cold War Europe....let that sink in for a minute.
"The central poewers of ww1 consisted of germany, austria hungary, the ottaman empire and bulgiaria" shows map of NATO with hungary,germany,bulgaria and turkey in NATO
+xXsniperXx roblox It didn't show NATO or anything like that. It was a blank modern map with Germany and Austria colored red and France, UK, Serbia and Russia colored blue. Turkey and Bulgaria weren't shown I guess because it was trying to show 1914. There's of course the unfortunate fact that Russia and Germany today don't even border eachother...and neither do Austria and Serbia.
“Stalin and Hitler were the same person basically. Stalin was a Fascist. Hitler was a Communist.” -my Gov and Econ teacher. Edit: seeing a lot of people being like “I can see why he’d say that!” Please read population statistics from the 30s, 40s, 50s, then reread my comment. If you honestly think that then I’m sorry but your brain is smooth.
Ok so we were learning about WWI, and my teacher said "the alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany in 1914 to invade Poland was carried out, but it failed so Germany then went straight to Belgium" Wait what? The Soviet Union didn't even exist in 1914. I asked if he meant the Russian Empire and he said "that fell in the 1800s" WTF Also that's not why Germany invaded Belguim, and Germany did NOT ally with Russia at the time, and Germany didn't want to attack Belguim they wanted to pass over it. What a day that was
So your history teacher said the start to ww2, because at that time the Russian empire controls Poland not to mention that he said the Soviet Union like what
My "history" teacher is trying to tell us all this stuff on Africa, & how impressive afrucans were, but instead of talking about the Kingdom of Kongo, or the Mutapa, or even Kilwa, she talked about black people sailing across the Atalantic to start Olmec civilization, & that they were the natives of Ireland. I'm trying to correct her absolute idiocy, & I told her I felt sorry for the students who all had weak constitions & didn't care to confirm if it was true or false.
There are Olmec stone heads who resemble sub-Saharan people, and the two emperors who preceded Mansa Musa of Mali both set sail with a huge fleet to see if it ended somewhere (and may have actually landed somehwere in NE Brasil)... apart from that, your teacher says bullshit.
I got in an argument with my teacher about Hannibal when he went over the Alps. She said Hannibal was losing battle after battle and I corrected her and said Hannibal scared the Romans so much they elected Fabius as dictator. It was not a good day in World History
@Aq Qoyunlu True, Hannibal was a famous loser in battle after battle, like Napoleon, Caesar, Motors and Jefferson were, and that's why these men are among the most iconic generals in world history.
I remember when Cornish Napoleon took charge of the New Kingdom of Egypt and expanded it to go as far as Algeria and the Balkans. He did it with the help of his two best generals George Jackson and Frederick X
@@thedanishcommunist1535 but that doesn't mean it became another thing, the HRE and the Roman Empire are totally different things that have completely different history, one is Roman (duh) and the other is Germanic
This one time my teacher told us that Native Americans didn't fight wars before Europeans came. Like the Aztecs and literally every other nation just didn't exist
The teacher clearly meant more to the North. We all know that the natives north of Mexico never heard of wars until the Euros came along; they all wore feather crowns and smoked peace pipes whenever they were not communing with nature and having the Great Spirit deliver them fresh Buffalo meat to their teepee.
Ah the Nobel savage trope. Remember folks the native Americans were no more or less advanced than European aside from a lack of gun powder so yes they fought wars
I had an Earth Science teacher that told us nobody has ever reached the bottom of the Marianas Trench. I raised my hand and said actually James Cameron reached the bottom. She said no he only went halfway down. I said that he collected samples from the bottom and found life down there. This went back and forth until she had to move on. The next day she gave me a candy bar and told the whole class I was right and she was wrong after she went home and researched it. Definitely the coolest a teacher has reacted to me correcting them.
he mistook names of the two for some reason, I did corrected him after a while, he then paused for a moment and said oh yeah and countinued talking about them, but now using names correctly
Not a history mistake. But one class, a teacher put on this video of the Aztecs for about 10 minutes and it has a small segment of an actor dressed as an Aztec pretending to be an Aztec. After the video, one girl raised her hand and asked “how did the history channel get footage of a real Aztec from back then?”
I had a WWII unit and my teacher said so many inaccuracies that I nearly passed out. I forgot most of them but I remember a specific one. She gave us a presentation on the Battle of Berlin, this is all well and good until she actually spoke about it. I am a huge geography nerd and a history buff for background, in fact, I even won my entire state Geobee, so I was very well informed on what she was about to say. She stated that there was an order for the German soldiers to blow up all the bridges on the Rhine River but the Allies were able to secure one bridge, what she said next is the kicker just trust me, she said that the Rhine River was the river right outside Berlin and that once they crossed the Rhine River the Western Allies were inside Berlin. That's right, she said that the battle of Berlin was between the Western Allies and the Germans. She later asked me a question about the pronunciation of the bridge, (I was the only person at the time who knew a decent amount of German) and I passive-aggressively made it clear that the Rhine was nowhere near Berlin, and was actually what made up most of the French-German border by saying things like "the name of the bridge actually looks French after all the Rhine makes up a lot of the Franco-German border" (or something along those lines). It may not have been the best way to go about it but I was an 8th Grader so that was the best I could do.
I remember I was studying in Japan, and this girl, she wasn't Japanese, she was a gaijin American, said that the Russo-Japanese War was fought between Russia and china. How do you mess that up!?
puchy110 we had a classmate that couldn’t tell you who won the American Civil War. SHE WAS AMERICAN Of course, she could have just been saying that for popularity, but come on!

"Netherlands was formed by 17 continents." the other classmates didn't say anything, i laught for one second then turned serious. The teacher didn't say anything and my classmate continued...

Once, our history teacher asked a student where the Euphrates River was, and the student commenced to walk to the map, circled the whole world map, and said: *somewhere in this general area*
Yeah, I could excuse not knowing the HRE, or forgetting they were two different entities. But forgetting the German Empire, the reason the Third Reich even existed is unforgivable.
+Томас Андерсон A. The Holy Roman Empire was founded, technically, by Charlemagne, who most definitely did not live in 1783. B. The Holy Roman Empire was not a country as much as a coalition of states, a fact that many seem to overlook. It’s more like NATO than Germany in its functioning. C. The Empire was near its end in 1783 and would be destroyed less than a quarter of a century later.
Well, you are right, it wasn't a state, but still. At that time it still existed and was something to consider, even though it would soon be disbanded. The german states had an emperor to unite them against common enemies (even though with Napoleon it kinda didn't work out)
My classmates often invent fantastic alternative histories, the bad thing was they did it while writing exams. Once one of them decided to put Venice in the middle of the Syrian desert. Another one was when one of them has written (jokingly, of course) that the investiture war was fought between Afghanistan and the Aztec Empire. Our teachers have also contributed to a few funny stories, including when my italian teacher has labeled Mussolini a communist while talking about the history of Italy.
I once had a 4th grade social studies teacher claim that Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world, was in Alaska. When I tried to correct her she got angry and said she had been to Alaska and seen it. I just let her be and went back to doodling Transformers in my notebook...
My History teachers have had a bad track record. One at one point said that the Netherlands was Germany in WW1. Another said that the Ottoman Empire was a German Colony in the same war, and went on to say that the Rheinland region wasnt just demilitarised and occupied by France, but was annexed and incorperated as a part of the new French Empire from 1918-1930. I cant make this stuff up, I dont know how this even happens...
You mean to tell me that the Soviet Union didn't conquer the English Isles and Iberian peninsula??? I cannot believe you cannot recall such basic history, it's like forgetting that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1963 while driving a limousine to Parliament. What's next, we dropped only **two** atomic bombs on Japan or something??? Get outta here with your revisionist garbage. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to pack up my bags to visit the White House at Washington State. Yeah, that's right- I'm going to experience some real history.
My 3rd grade teacher was teaching about world war 2 pearl harbor specifically she told the class that the entire Japanese force flew westwards over Europe, and America to get to Hawaii then flew back over America and Europe to get back to japan without refueling with no resistance
Let me tell you about my horror story, at history class my teacher said that Columbus discovered that the Earth was round. I of coarse raised my hand and told her that Eratosthenes discovered that Earth was round and calculated its circumference and that Columbus was an idiot because he thought the Earth was a third smaller. She simply responded that she was just reciting what was written in the history book. The next lesson was geography and my geography teacher told me when I showed her that paragraph of the history book that it was the most stupid thing she had ever seen.
A quick recap: Here are the 2 stuff Columbus was “famous” for but were taken by other people. 1) Discovering Earth was round As he said, Erasthothenes was the first guy to determine that Earth was round. The flat Earth myth was simply propagated as a misconception, due to the fact that actual flat Earth-ism originated in contemporary times as a sort of “experiment” to try to create another point of view to the shape of the Earth. Some other Greek philosophers of the time said the same thing. Pythagoras measured the circumference of the Earth with incredible accuracy, and by the time Columbus sailed, it was pretty much common knowledge that Earth is round. What was he wrong for? 2) Discovering the Americas At least he discovered the Americas, right? Well, not exactly. The first people there are still debated due to new fossil evidence, but there is still proof to prove that humans arrived in North America before 20,000 years ago. Well, you could say, that Columbus was the first European to discover America. Err, wrong again! Leif Eriksson was a Viking guy who travelled to a weird land more than a millenium ago, calling it Vinland. That land is now proved to be somewhere in Newfoundland, in Canada. Anyway, back to the point of the last question. Why did he travel again? Well, it’s simple. This may be a bit oversimplified, but anyway, Columbus thought that the Earth should have been smaller than what we believe it today, thus in the process, America didn’t exist. That would mean he could have access to spices straight from Asia. So he set sail for “Asia” and finally landed somewhere... Guesses vary, but they all are in the Carribean, near or in the Bahamas. He named the natives “Indians” because he thought he was in Asia, explaining another misconception: That Native Americans are Indians. Sorry if I lost you there... here’s a summary. TL;DR - Columbus didn’t discover round Earth (a Greek guy did) and also didn’t discover America (ancient humans did) and named Native Americans Indians, and finally thought the Earth was small. Basically, Columbus was not a dumbass, but he definitely was one.
A classmate of mine was from Kosovo. Our 11th grade history teacher once said that the Kosovar guy was from "Azerbaijan". It was pointed out that he was wrong, at which point he tried correcting himself to "Albania". Still not the right country, but the shared attitude was "close enough." He was a fine history teacher beyond that, but that was the one biggest notable cockup.
@@ThisIsBoogieJar Linguistically, religiously, sure - but so are Canada and the US. Still worth distinguishing as separate countries. Especially in the Balkans.
my history teacher said that the most famous quote of Oswald Moseley was " E V E R Y M A N A K I N G" But I knew that it was obviously "D I R E C T R U L E F R O M L O N D O N". Seriously tho, once my teacher said that Germany "took austria from the combined state of Austria-Hungary" and annexed it in 1938.
Technically the German Confederation, and then only partially. So she might have misspoken, or you misunderstood. PS. The German Confederation was a Union of German speaking countries back when the Holy Roman Empire still existed.
I actually did correct my senior English teacher a lot. The English teacher last year had challenged us to catch her in a mistake with an automatic A for the year if you did. Nobody did. The senior teacher was an arrogant "I'm older so I'm right" kind of people. (Her response when you disagreed with her her go too was 'do you really have the gall to think I don't know what I'm talking about?') at one point during a discussion of Dante's inferno she said that avarice was wrath, I raised my hand and corrected her, she said 'i read this book every year, you think I don't know better than you?' she challenged me to look it up in the dictionary. I did, and waited for twenty minutes with my hand up as she ignored me. We made eye contact twice and actively avoided me. Frankly she was a coward if she was afraid of something she told me to look up
I had a history teacher say the Berlin Wall was put around East Berlin, not around west Berlin. And that you could just walk in from the west side of east Germany into west Berlin. He said the west Germans could do whatever, and east Germans could go in if they wanted. But not east Berliners specifically.
It could just be an honest mistake. Sometimes, especially if there are more pressing matters, you mix up directions. At least your history teacher said a wall around Berlin!
I remember that once in 1st grade, we were labelling a map of the United States, and my teacher said that the United States only shared coastlines with The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. I of course, being a wierd 6-7 year old that was obsessed with the United States asked "Doesn't the US border the Arctic Ocean because of Alaska?" (probably simpler terms as I was you know, 6-7) and she replied: "No it doesn't."
Ian's Things In Grade School is was told that you can't do things like 3 - 5 or 10 - 12. In hindsight, it was likely as to NOT confuse every kid in the class.
I was told Canada borders Russia on the EAST COAST. First of all, Canada doesn't border Russia so let's get that out of the way. Next, you can't border something if there's a coast, and third the EAST coast of Canada? REALLY?!?!
I am in the same situation whenever there is history or geography at school. My teacher doesn't know at all what she's talking about. She thinks that South American countries entered in the US after their indipendence and that the civil war was fought between North and South America. She thinks that Kennedy started the Vietnam war, that the chinese civil war ended in 1911, and that the Berlin wall was built in 1948. She also thinks that NATO is the same thing as the UN, she doesn't know what are the Cuban missile crisis and the siege of Berlin. She makes so many mistakes, that I decided to give up and don't say anything, but I suffer every time for my classmates who have to listen to so many wrong informations.
Worst one I had - A science teacher said that the space shuttle went into the Moon. He laughed at me when I said he was wrong, saying "he was pretty sure the space shuttle went to the moon." It took me opening up our textbook and showing him it was the Saturn V to convince him otherwise.
Once in highschool, my biology teacher started to teach history for some reason and she said that the Russians wanted to conquer the world in WW1 with their nukes...
My best was when our teacher told us about how Malcolm X wanted a state for blacks and believed blacks were superior, when i asked why this wasn't racist in the same why as the white supremacists insisted is wasn't racist because ... Malcolm x wasn't racist. (stellar logic)
My eighth grade teacher (who is one of my favorites) said that Christopher Columbus discovered the Earth was round... no, no, god no... Still, she was a good teacher. She actually didn’t teach us a watered down version of slavery, like other teachers did. Thank god my yeehaw school taught us about stuff most history classes won’t: Japanese internment camps, Ghana and Ancient/Medieval Africa, and the Middle East. Also, Indus River Valley civilization!
Only kind of the Pharisees turned him into the romans which were only one of several sects of Judaism at the time. Also it was the romans that actually crucified him that is if we’re going by the historical assumption that Jesus actually existed which not all historians agree on.
Well my history teacher once said "St Augustine was a prominent muslim preacher and reformer" and I replied "Sir are you sure he is muslim ? he lived before Islam" he said "Can you shut up and continue listening I have a history lesson here not a theology lesson" so I sat down continuing to hear him speaking about how St Augustine transformed Tunisia into a majority muslim country . This is the same teacher who said Napoleon caused a decline in 80% of the world's population .
My history teacher in 10th grade thought the Soviet Union still existed, I graduated 12th grade in 2018 so according to her 2016 the Soviet Union still existed.
my teacher thought that the soviet union was china and when i told her it was russia and not china, she pointed to a horrible map in a history book. at the time i was a fequent watcher of real life lore, and if youve ever watched him, you know that the soviet union is a widely discussed topic on that channel, but even they have had some pretty horrible mistakes
Márton Köves She specialized in Architecture history, so I’m almost certain that she had no idea about the New Economic Policy or Permanent Revolution theory. Even if she understood “Communism for One”, that was certainly not the context she put it in. She put it as Stalin just plain rejected the notion of Communism, let alone Lenin or Trotsky’s interpretations.
I had a story that happened recently. As a Ghanaian I know a lot about my country. My history teacher (she's actually nice) called Ghana during its colonial years, *THE IVORY COAST.* This grinded my gears so I had to correct her. She actually apologised 😅

I remember a test in Geography in the 7th class in Germany. We had to fill in names of countries on a map showing europe and the meditarenean sea. Unfortunatly, the teacher forgot that we have a map of europe in class hanging on the wall next to our board. Ofcourse most people (not me I did not need that) just coppied everything. There was one huge problem though. That map on the wall, was simply about Europe and the North African coast wich was also on that map was simply titled as "Africa". Guess what 70% of my class mates wrote down on the 5 north african lines on the map of our test. They were expected to write down Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Lybia and Egypt and instead simply wrote down Africa 5 fucking times. When the teacher revealed that while handing out the results I could not hold myself from laughing ;D
Idk what was worst, students writing north africa as africa or the teacher forgetting there was a map of europe in class that im sure were big enough for students to see the names of the countries there
