For asking casual questions about History. Also see r/History or r/AskHistorians.
The period in question I’m thinking off is the Wild West era cause I’ve seen a lot Europeans especially Youtubers and Twitch streamers look at the American Wild West the same way we look at the Middle Ages.
Shooters like “Billy the Kid” and “Annie Oakley” are spoken about in the same way we’d speak about legends like Ragnar, Leaf Erikson, Emperor Barbarossa, Richard the lionheart. Etc etc (you get the idea)
It's enough. Stuff like this is fun until people over-do it. Well, now is that point. All new "scumbags of europe" posts are being deleted. If you still need to express your anger at certain personalities, do so in this thread.

This has always been a question I have thought about. I know they say history is written by the winners and our history is written by us. Yet, I am sure there is two sides to every story, what is the historical side from the British that they teach in their schools?
This month and the latter half of November haven't just been unseasonably warm and record breaking in many parts of Europe, but records are being broken by a record amount as well.
I just checked the Dutch meteorology website and the date is just stunning. For the Netherlands, this is the annual graph:
The red and blue lines are the daily records, the black the daily average this year. Virtually no cooldown since September, with the onset of an end to this "heat wave" only starting now and multiple records broken.
The month of December is even crazier:
Average temperature De Bilt (NL) : 3.7 °C
Record average temperature De Bilt (NL) : 7.3 °C (1974)
2015 average temperature De Bilt (NL) : 9.9 °C
It shatters the previous monthly record by over 2°C and the average by 6°C. If this would have happened in summer, it would be front page news until the day it was over.
What makes this even weirder, is that the Wikipedia of states a strong El Niño is usually correlated with a colder than normal winter in Western Europe. This year there's been a very strong El Niño and the inverse has happened.
Does anyone have more information? Even metereogical sites are sparse with info explaining this anomaly.
It's enough. Stuff like this is fun until people over-do it. Well, now is that point. All new "heroesof europe" posts are being deleted. If you still need to express your worship at certain personalities, do so in this thread.
