Hitler wasn't real, says one in 10 historically challenged Britons
*Sigh*
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...04/ixhome.html British people are ignorant of some of the most important events and people in this country's history, a new survey has revealed. As well as an inability to recall the dates of military victories and the personalities involved, there is also huge confusion about which characters and battles are fact and fiction. One in 10 of the 2,000 adults questioned in the survey commissioned by Blenheim Palace thought that Adolf Hitler was not a real person, and half were convinced that King Arthur existed. Almost three-quarters did not know that the Battle of Blenheim took place 300 years ago, even though it is one of the greatest British military triumphs. Fewer than one in eight had heard of John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, who led the British to victory against the French and for whom the palace was built by the nation as a reward. A quarter of the adults were unsure whether the Battle of Trafalgar was a real historical event, and more than half thought that Horatio Nelson commanded British troops at the battle of Waterloo. Similarly, one in seven Britons did not know that the Battle of Hastings was real. The lack of knowledge was greeted with alarm by historians. Tristram Hunt, the historian and television presenter, said: "Perhaps more worrying is the apparent merging of fact and fiction. There has always been myth and legend in history, but these findings show that there is a real need for clear understanding. There is a clear challenge here for academics to engage with a popular audience." John Hoy, the chief executive of Blenheim Palace - the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill - said that he was amazed that so few people had heard of the battle in whose honour the palace was named. "By defeating the forces of Louis XIV in the War of the Spanish Succession, John Churchill changed the history of Britain and Europe. It was such a momentous event that it led Queen Anne to bestow Blenheim Palace on Churchill as a gift from 'a grateful nation'. "The problem for many people is that they associate history with dry and dusty dates and facts. Once they realise that history is about people - the way we used to live and the way we live now - it becomes more relevant and exciting." Researchers also found that respondents struggled with modern history. One in five believed that Harold Wilson was prime minister during the Second World War. Confusion about Britain's historical figures was laid at the door of Hollywood films, such as Braveheart, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Almost half the adults surveyed believed that Sir William Wallace was not a real person, and a quarter were convinced that Robin Hood was. One in 20 thought that Conan the Barbarian, a character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, was a genuine person. Some also believed that Lord Edmund Blackadder and Xena Warrior Princess, characters from television series, were real. Children are similarly ignorant of British history. Thirty per cent of 11 to 18-year-olds in a recent survey thought that Oliver Cromwell fought at the Battle of Hastings. A similar proportion did not know in which century the First World War took place. However, Peter Furtado, the editor of History Today magazine, said that history teaching had been praised by inspectors as excellent. "There has been a greater emphasis in schools on dates and historical timelines," he said. "In a way, there is just too much history and the most we can hope is that pupils are inspired to learn more and continue with history study. "People have always been inspired by fiction to learn history. Many historians talk about the fact that a rollicking good read or film caught their imagination. It means that some people are inspired to find out more. Inevitably though, some people will get the wrong end of the stick." Blenheim Palace, in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, was designed by the architect Sir John Vanbrugh and built between 1705 and 1722 in honour of the British victory over Louis XIV of France at Blenheim, a small village on the banks of the River Danube, in 1704. |

The average Brit is just as fucking stupid as the average American.
Give a Brit a tabloid newspaper and a can of lager and he's as happy as a pig in shit. Except that the pig is more intelligent... handsome... hygenic... |

So we know that 10% percent of Brits are idiots. That doesn't say much. No country is idiot-free.

to be honest, them thinking Arthur is or was real is more astounding than Hitler.
folks Merlin did NOT exist, however, Hitler certainly did hahaha the brits tried to creep into Chalmette during the Battle Of new Orleans, guess what... due to communication back then. the war already called off for almost 2 months, and guess what. 3000 Brits lost their lives as they crept into a trap. hardly ZERO lives in New Orleans, yet all brits were wiped out. whenever Brits come up, i recall playing on those battlefields as a kid, hearing the war stories and being told that the fileds were covered in bodies and ghosts still remain there. lots of uncalled for death.

I think Hitler's real. And there's no point arguing
whether he's real or not. He had already killed many innocent lives and I think right now, he's already burning in hell.

First of all it isn't 10% it is 10 out of 2000 or .5%. Second every country has them. I don't know of all the battle that canada has taken part in and we have only been around since 1867.

As long as there are idiots on this planet we don't have to worry about our income, so I personally don't care about them as long as they have CCs.

hahaha, that's funny as hell... although there's lots of stupid people in every country.
There was a show on here in Canada a while ago... they'd go to the US and ask people questions about Canada and some of these idiots would ask "Canada? what state is that in?", etc... funny shit. |

perhaps 10% of people resented being asked a stupid question, and just said he didn't exist.
What's equally as amazing is the people who just take research at face value and don't question the method, or reliability at all.
