Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

I love that Republicans keep trying to get a statue of Reagan in Berlin but no one gives a shit about the “Mr. Gorbechov, Tear down this wall!” speech, which was in English and really aimed at U.S. viewers.
Germany always politely declined to put a statue up for some minor speech so Trump, in his tackiness, put a statue at the US Embassy. Angela Merkel responded by thanking George HW Bush for supporting reunification.
