11 Stories About Customers With Hilariously Bad Knowledge Of History
Dear readers,
History is a HUGE subject, and no one can be expected to know it all. Can you name every President of the United States, or do you know the year Constantinople was founded? However, there are some common facts of history that everyone should know – for example, in WW2 the Nazis were the bad guys (and they STILL are!).
The next eleven stories from our archives are about customers with history knowledge gaps so big, you could fit the Roman Empire through it and still have some room for a few Chinese dynasties. These stories will go down in history!
