That the USA saved europe in ww1 (they did in ww2 but they are also the once kinda at fault for it with forcing a weak democratic system on a weak germany), that they invented democracy (litterly italian republics and german hansiatic citys have been around for much longer at the same time as them)
That germany could have won ww2. No we could never have. Too much with too little resources.
The wehrmacht didnt so horrible things. Oooh yes they did. Where do you think the SS got the lists of the jews and who helped transport and kill jews and others?
Middle ages were all doom and dark. No they were pretty af!!
It’s sounds like you just made up stereotypes to come up with myths…
Nobody said that about WWI, that’s a claim about WWII. And nobody claimed American was the first democracy either, as it was founded in Ancient Greek city states…
I've heard those claims many times. Not by very serious people, granted.
Middle Ages were probably not very fun as an average person, working hard 7 days a week. Also, no toilet paper.
The concept of work was a lot back different in the Middle Ages compared to now. There were a lot more breaks when completing work and the boss often fed you as it was generally part of your pay.
You could make a great argument that agricultural work was likely easier than industrial work. It just happened to be that the number of agricultural workers cratered during the Industrial Revolution.
They still werent all doom and dark. All grey. Only war.
