17 Battles That Were So Epic, They Don’t Need the Internet to Be Remembered
Metaphorically speaking, it’s usually more important to lose the battle and win the war. But when it comes to the cultural zeitgeist, winning the battle may be more memorable (and memeable?).
A recent tweet from Sarah Bellum asked Twitter users to name a famous historic battle without the help of Google, and the responses show that 1) no one can take anything seriously; and 2) smaller-scale conflicts live on in infamy for much longer than larger ones. To be fair, plenty of us could probably engage in a more sustained conversation about Jay-Z versus Solange or JWoww versus Sammi Sweetheart than the War of 1812.
Don't Miss
All of which is to say, if you don’t have a historical battle readily available in the recesses of your mind (i.e., sans Google), feel free to pick a fight from any of these legendary feuds instead.
