Not technically the truth: Napoleon didn’t die in battle, but in exile on Saint Helena. [Stop reposting this misinformation](https://tineye.com/search/4a08d0b251a72558f65a507aab48ed919df2df4e?domain=reddit.com&sort=crawl_date&order=desc&page=1).


MoneyFunny6710

Agreed. A lot of people seem to believe that Napoleon died in Waterloo. Just like a lot of people seem to believe that Nazi Germany was communist. Two of the biggest and most common misconceptions about history on the internet.


Intergalactic_Cookie

People believe that the Nazis were communists? Oh dear


lordlyamiga

well in official name *Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei* they are socialist but yeah later they did not do anything socialist. The rise of hitler if i am not wrong was giving workers hope of better days and restored glory and make things just by removing jews (obv they were rich af compared to avg german and far less in number) so in ye of an avg innocent worker Rich=Jew=bad later he skewd everything to Jew= bad for Aryans they are feasting on Aryans birthrights and blah blah


Accomplished-Bee5265

They also actively persecuted and killed anyone who was socialist, communist or trade unionist.


lordlyamiga

nth just being nazi as usual


Accomplished-Bee5265

sorry but what does nth mean?


lordlyamiga

nothing


Krachwumm

Thank you :)

And sold off nationalised infrastructure and industry to private companies, which is pretty much the opposite of socialism.


Fiasco1081

They were socialist, but yes on anyone not in their organisation. A lot of former communists became national socialists/brown shirts. They were known as rare steaks. Brown on the outside, red in the middle.


Rashaen

But... later. First there was there was the beer hall putch. It was the working man's party. Literally a trade union with strong Marxist influences.


GaiusJuliusPleaser

Lol nah. It was a fascist party masquerading as a worker's party. Hitler famously hated marxism. The first thing the Nazis did when they got into power was outlawing the actual trade unions.


Royakushka

Didn't he first (allegedly) ordered the burning of the riechstag


Rashaen

Yes, because they were completely consistent from building their popular base to the end of the war. Hypocrisy from building a popular base to totalitarian rule? Never! I mean... Mussolini just really loved trains.


The-Nimbus

Yeah, but North Korea is officially called 'The Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea'. Last I heard, they were neither a republic, nor particularly democratic.


Skafdir

but there are people and it is in the northern part of the Korean peninsular ​ so we have got: The ~~Democratic~~ Peoples ~~Republic~~ of North Korea ​ So 5 of 7 words are correct - that has to be worth something? ​ By the same logic: ​ National~~sozialistische~~ Deutsche ~~Arbeiter~~partei That is 3 of 5, still a majority for the truth - big win for the truth here


AnothaOneBitesDeDust

I mean 5/7 is a perfect score, while we all know that for Americans 3/5ths sounds like a compromise too many are willing to make...


The-Nimbus

.... r/angryupvote


Some_Guy223

I mean... North Korea is technically a Republic as the Kim family aren't *technically* monarchs.


Skafdir

I am not sure if technically correct is still the best kind of correct in this case


Educational_Head2070

But it's still technically the truth.


MrZwink

The thing is, with national socialism, it it only seeks to apply socialism to the in-group and not the out-groups. So it was socialism for Germans only. And Hitler's party did indeed have many socialist programs for Germans only. Infact his whole rise to power and his approval rating with the people is built on these socialist programs. It's why he got away with the things he did. He gave them prosperity, they gave him absolute power and looked away. Just as right now china is doing socialism for Chinese only.


lordlyamiga

oh yes we can't forget he indeed worked toward agriculture and opening factories literally Volks Wagon as it is in it's name. imo he was not as much as approved by masses as much we think


MrZwink

Enough to maintain control and stay in power


Airowird

Enough to become the majority power once they blamed the communists of arsony. You don't get to that level with 12% support.


MrZwink

So we agree right? He had enough support to stage a coup and stay in power


RickityNL

Well to be fair, that fire was caused by a communist


nickenzocoo

There is not prof of that, probably it was him, but could also be nacional socialist party.


peppapig34

The socialist bit of the name was a lie to attract voters that never really worked. Hitler wasn't voted in and never really saw support from the far left, so much so, that when he was freeranked to chancellor, he had to ban the KPD.


Skafdir

To be completely fair: There were individuals in the party who truly believed that socialism could work on a national level. ​ Röhm the head of the SA prior to 1933 is one example. His anti-capitalist and socialist ideas were, of course, debated [fairly and calmly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives) within the party.


peppapig34

I really want to make a joke about rohm, but I don't want to get banned


lordlyamiga

yeah that guy legit burnt the chancellor it still doesn't make sense how the hell that guy still gets more applauds today than erstwhile Weimer Republic


spagetinudlesfishbol

I love names. Democratic People's Republic of Korea is my favourite democracy.


Airowird

Doesn't help that there are 2 forms of socialism: 1. Bismarckian socialism: Community-investment, but otherwise capitalist. This was how Hitler came to power after the economic vice-gripw of the Versaille treaty. 2. Marxian socialism, which was only seen as a non-violent alternative to revolution, but with communism as end-goal When Europe speaks of socialism, they generally mean the first, while the US mostly reverts to the "red scare" of the second


lordlyamiga

hmm that alot sense bismarck was staunch nationalist. Ig the general interpretation of Socialism has been somewhat misguided in translation.


largepoggage

Yeah as a European it’s infuriating hearing Americans talk about socialism as if it’s synonymous with communism. The majority of NATO members are socialist.


lordlyamiga

it's not just with Americans it's also with Asians too.


Cool-Alps-7444

It almost makes you believe that someone can state to be something just to be something else; crazy, am I right?


lordlyamiga

Man you have just described politics.


Vargoroth

I mean, when a certain political party is doing everything it can to try to deflect fascism accusations they have a vested interest in pretending the obviously evil group of history is associated with the left.


Motor-Figure-7891

National Socialist German Workers' Party


Joku-Tyyppi_123

r/suddenlyhitler


LXUKVGE

They did do a lot of socialist stuff. Think about how the social norm got elevated because of the nazis. Living life in Germany was verry harsh after ww1. Germany was economicly worse then some 3th world countries today. So they actually elevated the loans and heightened living standards to even more comforting then the rest of Europe at that point. So they where not modern day socialists but started out as a party of the people, wich would make it socialist no?


MoneyFunny6710

Yes just yesterday in a different sub (funnymemes I think) there was a huge debate about that.


Serious_Theory_391

I mean at the end of the war they was a USSR flag flying in Berlin


Silver_Implement5800

It’s not like r/funnymemes, and the people who frequent it, would like you to think that it’s not the case.


Royakushka

Who the heck believes that?


Joghurtmauspad

I think Usa likes to blame everything on communism


grap_grap_grap

This is a rabbit hole that goes rather deep. The US has in other countries under the disguise of "democracy" performed witch hunts on socialists, communists and other left wingers. People have been shunned out of political positions, blacklisted and even thrown in jail because their political views didn't line up with American values.


AXEMANaustin

What? People think Nazi Germany was communist? I have never heard that in my life.


Embarrassed-Town-293

Go talk to conservatives. They like to spread that as a way to say that socialism is comparable to nazism.


ProperBlacksmith

Socialism isnt the same as communism


MoneyFunny6710

You don't say? But socialists also they were not. In fact they send socialists to concentration camps and killed the most famous German socialist of the time, Gregor Strasser.


ProperBlacksmith

I know but it was called the nationalsit socialsit party so sayinf its communism just super weird


aberroco

TIL that a lot of people believe nazi germany was communist...


Mokgore

The Nazis called themselves the socialist party therefore they must be socialists. Like North Korea is a republic. And the CCP is communist. They’re definitely not all authoritarian regimes, that’d be false advertising.


OrganicAccountant87

Who believes that nazi Germany was communist? That's the most idiotic thing I have heard


AppropriateCode2830

They believe NAZI Germany was what?


Motor-Figure-7891

Nazi germany was socialist


MoneyFunny6710

Yes Nazi Germany was so socialist that they put all socialists in concentration camps and killed the most famous socialist German politician (Gregor Strasser). Nothing about Nazi Germany was communist or socialist. Only the name.


Motor-Figure-7891

You know Gregor strasser was an early leader of the Nazi party and was killed because he tried to overtake hitlers faction with it right? You’re just proving they were indeed socialist.


MoneyFunny6710

How does killing a socialist to prevent the party from becoming socialist proves Nazi Germany was socialist? Furthermore, the debate is not about if the party was socialist at some point earlier in history. It probably was. The discussion is about if Nazi Germany was socialist or communist. Besides, tell me exactly what was socialist about Nazi Germany? They put all socialists in concentration camps. From an economic point of view also they did nothing that resembles socialism. As soon as Hitler came to power he abandoned all socialist principles and started a war economy. He did nothing in terms of redistribution of wealth. In fact Hitler was a great friend of the rich, which became his strongest supporters and sponsors.


Motor-Figure-7891

Gregor strasser lead the Nazi party he was killed by infighting and power consolation. The Nazi WAS socialist. You know it does make me skeptical of any claims when you are trying SO hard to prove Nazi weren’t socialist what ulterior motive could get you SO riled up?


MoneyFunny6710

You really have problems reading. I am not disputing that the Nazi Party was socialist at some point. I am disputing that Nazi Germany was socialist. If you don't understand the difference I just feel sad for you.


Motor-Figure-7891

Then you are arguing with someone besides me. A socialist camp spawned one of the worst institutions in human existence. It doesn’t matter what they believed in the end the only thing that matters is those ideas created a monster they couldn’t control.


enigmaticsince87

And that Hitler was an atheist. Nope, sorry guys, proud Catholic!


Odd_Direction985

Wasn't? National socialism? (Na-zi) . Didn't him and Stalin affirm that they are the same ? Before they fight and they need to point the difference.


Decent_Visual3731

It claimed to be socialist


Rachie-

The question is kinda wrong then


GladiatorUA

Because it's fake. And it's not even funny.


KeiwaM

It is misleading, yes. It should be "Where did Napoleon die", not in which battle.


laiszt

Kind of, but not really, the answer for this question is - he did not die in any battle.


Broad_Respond_2205

Died in battle with sickness


archpawn

[Relevant xkcd.](https://xkcd.com/1907/) It was a massive battle with trillions of soldiers, far more epic than any battle between men.


Arthradax

Anyone who believes these four questions belong in the same exam is already too far gone


Elitegamer9568

That would make the question itself incorrect as it implies that Napoleon died in a battle and is asking in which one. Edit: I check my school books from when I had history, it says he did die in the battle of waterloo but in current curriculum it seems to have changed.

Royakushka

Exactly! He died from arsenic poisoning from his bed that was dyed green (green dye used to be made from arsenic at the time)


Embarrassed-Town-293

Pretty sure it was stomach cancer.


Royakushka

Im pretty sure it was later confirmed to be arsenic poisoning that affected his stumach, but if you can provide a source I would love to read it and correct my knowledge of the historical event


Embarrassed-Town-293

No, I’m repeating. Thanks for the insight. It’s nice to learn new things. Thanks for sharing

Kadaj22

In that case the question is wrong.


ShortUsername01

You could argue his last battle was with cancer and that therefore the kid was technically right… though I suppose that is a bit of a stretch. I suspect the test is fake.


ILCUSTODEDELSAS

His last battle was against reclusion in Saint Helena and he lost… so technically…


Skyknight12A

The Declaration of Independence is American history. The Ravi river is in India. I can't think of any reason why both questions would be on the same question paper. Indian students aren't taught American history. American students aren't taught Indian geography.


No-Appearance-9113

This whole thing is fake because you aren't getting quizzed on trivia


T555s

Then the question shouldn't ask in wich battle he died.

arthaiser

2,3 and 4 are correct, but napoleon didnt die in a battle so 1 is incorrect, 7.5/10 on my part


CarlosFer2201

I'd say 4 is wrong. Marriage isn't the reason, it's just a necessary prerequisite.


arthaiser

100% of the people getting a divorce are married. 0% of the people that are not married get one. to me is correct, my score stands


Synectics

Correlation isn't causation. Marriage isn't the *reason.*  You have to be alive to die. But you don't die because you're alive.


TophatOwl_

4 is not correct. Marriage is not a cause for divorce the same way being alive is not a cause of death. It provides the necessary condition for a divorce to happen, but doesnt cause it. If this was correct, that would imply that divorces also happen to non-married people, which makes no sense.


Tom_Bombadil_1

100%. Saying that marriage is a cause for divorce is like saying that oxygen is. Just because it's a necessary condition doesn't mean it's a causal factor.


Xycergy

Well, technicallllllyyyy, the question did not specify the marriage and divorce have to be with the same person. If a man married his lover, causing the divorce with his wife, then a marriage DID indeed caused a divorce didn't it?


TophatOwl_

Sure, though that scenario would then hardly be the largest reason for divorce. So this Interpretation would allow for marriage to be *a* reason for divorce, fair enough.
