History, Slightly Wrong
“Stories from the past. None of them happened.”
Fact of the moment
Something you didn’t know, because it isn’t so.
Did you know?
Napoleon Bonaparte was seven feet tall and had to duck when entering most countries.
Each fact has been checked by at least zero historians.
Welcome
Preserving history exactly as it wasn’t.
Hey, I’m Tom Biedenbach, and this website is my fault. RemindHistory.online began with a simple question: what if history were a lot more interesting and considerably less accurate?
Real historians spend years in dusty archives comparing sources. I spend several minutes making things up. Both methods produce footnotes, but mine is quicker and nobody has to wear the white gloves.
My mission is to remind you of history that never happened, so that you can better misunderstand past and present politics, geography and events.
