The people who think they're learning a lot of stuff from Hetalia are no different than the people who walk into Hollywood-produced movies based on historical events and walk out thinking that they know something. It's just the way many people are regardless of what they're looking at, so I feel it's best to dislike the fact that many people take historically based entertainment as absolute fact rather than the series utilizing said history itself. From the very beginning it's really never done anything BUT feed people trivial facts about history and it will likely continue to do so until the Japanese dude writing it gets tired of making four-panel comics about pinky-swear pacts and how potatoes are eaten in France. Nothing new on the Hetalia front, but plenty new in how fans interpret it and the events it (badly) portrays.

Not everyone cares about how history should be studied anyway. As a history student, it's important to me in the same way that it's important to you. And I definitely agree with you. Yet still, your definition of what 'history is about' may differ completely from any other history student's or professor's definition, and it sure as hell is going to be different from the definitions of people who didn't care enough about WWII or anything else to learn about it until Hetalia came along. It's frustrating, sure, but Hetalia is just one blip in a long line of media equally guilty of doing the same thing, and surely there will be worse to come. There's just no way to force people into looking at things from a different perspective regardless of what history means to you, me, or anyone else.
