I'm 76 and have a BA in History, circa 1969. Got 98. Glad to see that some of that knowledge is still somewhere in there. Also, some of that history occurred during my lifetime, so it's almost like cheating on those questions, but I am happy that I still remember.
I'm 67 and I don't have a BA but I'm a history enthusiast and I got 95 but I can't remember why I walked into the kitchen
we both got the same score!
Have always enjoyed history, after all it the human story. Easier at 75, I had uncles who served in the Pacific and European theaters, one who served during the Korean War, myself in Vietnam and a grandson who is about to separate from the USAF in December after 10 years.
@@kjackers5710 Difference is I do remember why I went into the kitchen but for the life of me I don’t know why I needed the lug wrench.
@@kjackers5710😂😂😂
85. Not bad for a frenchman just diagnosied with alzheimer. I shall keep playing your quizzes, it helps a lot for memory. Thank you.
Oh come on now. Alzheimers is just an excuse for being French, and not a very good one at that. But on the plus side, you do have the best national anthem - by quite a margin.
You did 5 better than a pot smoking french canadian lol
@@michellegault4122 So, you're saying smoking pot increases intelligence?
@@schell0118 not at all! Maybe an increase in creativity (wether results are good or not). I’m not doing studies on this…. I would be surprised if it increases intelligence. THC only fools your brain for a limited amount of time. You think about things in a different way. I wouldn’t recommend it for ANYTHING requiring focus.
@@michellegault4122 I think you might be taking this too seriousl.
Finished high school in 1978. Didn’t go to school until 2015 to finish a 2-year diploma. I am not as smart as those who have degrees/doctorates who participated in this quiz. So, I only got 56/100. But I definitely enjoyed learning from this.
I'm an old fellow who sustained a head injury in my 30s. I take these quizes to exercise my brain, or what's left of it LOL. Managed to score 90%, but I take my hat off to you older fellas who scored higher. It's nice to be in such company.
My score was 97 out of 100. During the past few years I've taken up reading history as a hobby. I especially enjoy Roman history. Octavian (originally Gaius Octavius) was the other name for Augustus.
That is awesome!
I call booshit
It was Octavianus. Not Octavius.
His full name was Gaius Julius Octavius Caesar Augustus -- the last two names aren't names at all -- they're adjectives. I suspect you already knew this.
So the same guy has not one, but TWO months named after him?!! 😉
77/100 - the questions became a lot easier for me once they started to be about modern history! Learnt a lot about ancient history
I’m in my 80’s and left school at 15 ….still managed 98. Just goes to show what you can pick up over the years.
at this point just tell us which you got wrong, which two questions
Well done buddy! You obviously are well-read.
❤
I was pleased to get 86/100, I have never studied history but I do enjoy trivia quizzes, it looks like I have absorbed more information than I thought.
Same here.Got 90 out of 100.Not bad for a 68 year old.Some answers came to me immediately.Others process by elimination.
Lot of American and English history, and I'm from Sweden and still got 87 correct answers.
It must be a real handicap to come from a country which has no history. But still, there's always ABBA.
English quizmaster pandering to Americans = zero questions pertaining to Scotland Wales or Northern Ireland, and only one relating to any of the 80 odd former colonies of the British(English) Empire and current overseas possesions, unless you count Ancient Egypt. As the beneficiary of a UK education, knowing that Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest, Bjorn Borg was quite good at tennis and that Alfred Nobel won a prize for inventing dynamite, is enough to make me a proffessor of Swedish Studies at any university in the land, If I told them I knew what your capital city was called or that I could list the names of half a dozen Swedish football players, they would think I was over-qualified.
@@john-hl5tq Alfred Nobel won a Nobel prize??? :D
Newly graduated history teacher here, got approximately 90% correct. From Sweden, and listened to it at 1.5 speed so not too disheartened. Thanks for the great quiz!
Great job!
If you only got 90% and you’re a history teacher, you need to hit the books some more. Just being honest here!
@@LarrySanger I agree, I probably should get at least 95. Read way too much about the 19th and 20th century, and not enough about the older periods.
History fan as a kid, now a young adult studying law. Got 92, probably because I'm Finnish and some of the more difficult questions were quite Anglomerican focused.
86/100. Pretty good for a 14 years old. I realized I should learn more about the Vietnam war and asian history. Great quizz
I might have known Sea of Tranquility, Henry VIII, and George Washington at 14. So 86 is good.
Better than me and I'm in my '50's. There were only about two questions regarding Vietnam/Cambodia though. wouldn't worry about. I lived through those times and Berlin wall and stuff. Your score very good for a 14 year old
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un Thanks pal. I guess the fact I am still studying history almost daily in school helps. keep learning!
101/100 - I also got Octavian [aka Augustus] for the bonus point.
65/100, I realised my knowledge is limited to only my country's history, there's so much I do not know about world history, these videos will definitely be helpful :)
what's your country?
@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen india
@@tantankerYeah, but to be fair, there were many questions about Europe (particularly the UK) and the USA.
@@nox8730 yeah I don't have much knowledge about them
@@tantanker That seems obvious. On the other hand, as a french, Europe is what i know best. Can't really compare your score with mine and many others here when many of the questions are about Europe and none was about India ^^. I scored only 75 at the second test.
Ben, I got 90/100. I'm 67 now and History and Geography were my 2 favourite subjects in school. I obviously have retained a lot of information on these subjects over the years. Thank-you for this quiz. It was really enjoyable. I did your geography quiz as well and I believe my score was a bit higher on that subject. I think I got 94.
That is awesome! Thanks for letting me know you enjoy them, I really appreciate that. 😁
I tried keeping track of right, wrong, and no guess but messed up about halfway. So I stopped.
@@TheInkPitOx I have a card and make a mark on it for every one I get wrong
@@scpatl4now i used the windows calculator since this is history and not math
im a history student so glad to say i got 100/100
I hated History at school but now I'm 54 and I love it. Same goes for geography.I think that having a world map on my wall and having access to the internet has helped.
Very interesting! Hating History in School and loving it as an adult has happened to many people I know including me. I love history nowadays bc I read into it and when you get into details it gets very interesting. History becomes alive and palpable.
In school you learn comprehensively, the basic facts mostly listed … and that is very boring.
@@iialarcon30 Enjoyed history and geography still do at least since I was introduced to them at least three score and seven years ago. Never had a geography class after 8th grade, no history class after high school. At the age of 42 my wife began college, I accompanied her one night to a Geographical History class, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Interestingly the class, consisting of women studying to become teachers, was bored out of their minds. I learned why particular happenings in history were due mainly to the geography of an area. As an example the town of Little Falls NJ was founded because there were falls and boats needed portage. Those providing portage needed services, the town was founded to provide those services.
Minor quibble (Q 60, 16:00): Great Britain was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, not the United Kingdom. United Kingdom wasn't a thing until 1801, at which point the Industrial Revolution had been going for ~40 years.
Mostly, I'm happy that I managed to wedge another dates question in, since that's my strongpoint. I haven't got any wrong, yet, though I had to make an educated guess on the first pope. However, you warned me the quiz wasn't for me at the beginning.
@@Quizzes4U it was more noticeable for me because I listened to the video while doing other things and tried to answer everything before any multiple choice options were read. I had answered Great Britain, so your use of United Kingdom stood out. Had you used England, I wouldn't have bothered commenting because I would have assumed that in 1760, England was a country that was part of Great Britain, much like it's a country that's part of the UK today.
As it was, I debated not commenting because it's pedantic and few of your viewers would have even noticed. I certainly didn't want that to overshadow my appreciation for you putting these quizzes together.
However, yes, it can be confounding. I live in the US and grew up thinking Great Britain and the UK were the same thing. Understanding how ceremonial counties, historical counties, countries, crown dependencies, oversea territories, etc. all work is confusing. It wasn't until I was about 40 that I learned that England & Wales was its own legal jurisdiction.
1603 dopey 😑
When King James became both king of England and Scotland forming the United Kingdom 😑
1707 being the the date of the act of Union forming a unitary political being out of Britain 😑
God alone knows where or why you got 1801 😕
@@barbararice6650 , I also know where or why I got 1801...the Acts of Union (1800) that combined the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom.
From the 1707 Acts of Union (emphasis theirs):
"That the Two Kingdoms of Scotland and England, shall upon the 1st May next ensuing the date hereof, and forever after, be United into One Kingdom by the Name of GREAT BRITAIN:"
You are conflating political union with personal union under the English/British monarch. Until political union occurred with the 1707 & 1800 Acts of Union, those were separate countries/sovereign entities.
It's similar to how the Electorate of Hanover was never part of Great Britain or the UK, despite sharing the same monarch.
I get the impression that that's slightly different from how the crown dependencies of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands function today. However, it's similar in that those are self-governing and also *not* part of the United Kingdom, despite sharing the same monarch.
As I wrote in my previous comment, "Understanding how ceremonial counties, historical counties, countries, crown dependencies, oversea territories, etc. all work is confusing." I've conveniently skipped commonwealth realms in this.
@@deepowls
The Irish amendment isn't the start of either the British Union or the United Kingdom as you seemed to think, you just got mixed up 😑
This is what the British Government says on their home page 😑
😐👉The Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments in 1707, led to the creation of a united kingdom to be called “Great Britain” on 1 May of that year. The UK Parliament met for the first time in October 1707. 👈😐
You'd better email them and notify them of their error 😕
@@barbararice6650well aren’t you just Gods little ray of pitch black on a puddle of piss this fine day!
My seven year old son scored 70 out of 100, he loves history. He learned new facts with this interesting quiz and he also mentioned that Cesarion was the last pharaoh of Egypt.
I scored 12 lower than 7 year old 😂
Cap
You must be so proud of him! The worls needs people like him who are excited and eager to learn from a young age! Congratulations to your boy!
@@cherrykkura yes, we are really proud of him, thank you
My six year old scored 80
Enjoyable quiz, thank you. Augustus was first called Octavian. He was the great nephew of Julius Caesar. After he defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, he made himself Emperor and gave himself the new name of Augustus.
Dropped about seven points (with some educated guesses that I never would have got had it not been multiple choice). Brilliant quiz! If I learnt anything from this quiz, it’s that I know bugger all about the expeditions to the new world/Americas!
92/100. I'm only 81yo, but I swear I was around for most of these events!
Thanks, great content. 98/100, I'm old and love history.
Glad you enjoyed it
I screwed up only 97. Most of the answers to the questions I learned in grammar school. Others I lived through. I to am an old guy and have always found history interesting. Another You Tube to go to learn about history is The History Guy.
Don’t believe you, especially as there are a couple of wrong answers.
@@simonallanby5945 And the couple of wrong answers are?
@@simonallanby5945 that's funny, a lot of answers I gave were facts when I majored in history and those answers have changed over time through further information. Just because you don't believe someone doesn't make you correct. Have a good weekend.
I'm an 18 year old college kid with a hobby in history and I got 90/100. When the question about the names of the bømbs popped up, I was like "They NAMED them? How have I never learned this?" Took me completely by surprise.
that fact...those pathetic names...makes me sick to my stomach and thoroughly disgusted. I do not enjoy calling out things of this nature, but I feel I must.
Lighten up Francis (see the movie "Stripes" if you need the reference), what are you calling out? The bomb designers at Los Alamos built two prototypes because they were unsure if either would work. The larger design was round like a big ball and was derisively nicknamed, "Fatman", after the rotund military head of the project, General Leslie Groves (the same guy who oversaw the building of the pentagon). The name "Little Boy", the longer, narrower, design was used to differentiate the competing designs. As it turned out both designs worked. A "Fatman" bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and a "Little Boy" on Nagusaki expediting the surrender of the Empire of Japan. This was the military machine that had killed and enslaved millions of innocents while waging a 14 year war of terror and brutality in the Far East and South Pacific. The Japanese had to be stopped. There are plenty of things to be disgusted about in this world, but I'm not sure why any reasonably well informed person would be offended by this factoid. For what it's worth, I'm disgusted at myself for getting 9 questions wrong on this quiz, however, I take solace in, and appreciate the fact that I learned a few new things today. Thx for the great quiz. God Bless @@ronareid7956
@@brentharker7868 Incorrect, 'Fat man' was dropped on Nagasaki, 9 August 1945 it was a Plutonium implosion device and one had to be tested at White Sands (Trinity site) in July because they werent sure it would work. 'Little Boy' was a different 'gun' type Uranium device dropped on Hiroshima 6 August 1945 They didn't need to test it because they knew it would work.
The designs werent 'competing' as you say. The simple fact is that they didnt have enough enriched Uranium 235 to build another but producing the Plutonium 238 was easier.
They were named because of their shape Not sure about Fat Man being named after Groves but it's design needed to be a perfect sphere with explosive lenses that all had to detonate at exactly the same time for it to work. The first tested at Trinity was just called 'the gadget'
Col Paul Tibbets flew the Enola Gay to Hiroshima had perfect weather and scored a direct hit with 'Little Boy' 6 August 1945
Maj Charles Sweeney flew 'Bocks Car' to Kokura (primary target) but because of cloud cover and fuel loss was unable to establish a target and so continued to the secondary target Nagasaki Not a direct hit but the bomb 'Fat Man' detonated 9 August 1945
Both missions had two weather/camera planes
@@brentharker7868 I was told the names of the two bombs were from the movie "The Maltese Falcon" characters.
I read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, so I knew those nicknames. I highly recommend the book. You get a couple hundred pages of the history of nuclear physics for a starter. Sorry. Don't mean to scare you off. :)
Got a perfect score. I love studying World History ever since I was a kid. I used to compete in history quiz bees when I was in high school and college. This reminds me of my youth. Thank you for this awesome quiz.😍
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Me too but with two I had an educated guess.
@@elahwong5196How do you feel after saying that
Feel fine@@isabelgonzalezserrano1229
The multiple choices and photos help with the answers..... And I am grateful. Such fun
I have to say I'm pretty impressed with myself. I knew at least half for sure, made educated guesses at a quarter and was completely lost on the rest. So much fun! Thank you!
YAY! Finally an intelligent challenging quiz. I have no degree, voracious reader of the Holy Bible, literature, all history, worked in hospital records, court reporting and have been to 16 countries & am 67. Thank you for your quiz! I got 90 out of 100! 🎉
98/100 with the options; 91/100 without.
I think the Q17 bonus is Octavian, but not completely sure.
Awesome quiz!
Got 66/100, guess I need to refresh myself on ancient history
Me too Got 76
I am a recently retired Information Systems professional who is a history buff. I surprised myself with 96.
The multiple-choice format sure makes things a lot easier... i got lucky, admittedly, on some, but managed a 99 (answered Plymouth when Jamestown was correct). Even, presumably, scored the bonus point for Octavian / Augustus (we had to read Julius Caesar in Grade 10 English class), but claiming 100 points seems somewhat dishonest...
Hope you enjoy this one. If you have an interesting history question that you'd like to ask the world then drop it in the comments. Thanks for watching, Ben.

99/100. Slipped up early on with Trajan vs Hadrian
Got 96.
Your crazy if you think this is average.
Did I ever say this was average??? Dolt.@@markwall1776
There's a pretty strong argument to be made that Vicksburg was more important than Gettysburg in terms of a U.S. Civil War turning point. I guessed Gettysburg because that's the popular answer, but many military historians would probably disagree.
I agree. I've been to both Vicksburg and Gettysburg and it's obvious Vicksburg was the most important battle of the civil war because it split the Confederacy in two and gave the Union total control of the Mississippi cutting off the south's access to arms and equipment smuggled in from the west. If it wasn't for that Lee could have continued the fight even after his defeat at Gettysburg but because he was now cut off from his supply his surrender was inevitable
@@stretmediq When I first read the question I thought Vicksburg but wound up choosing Gettysburg because it is the battle most discussed.
I agree that the lost of Vicksburg by the South was more important strategically as it really divided the South in half. But Lincoln didn't give a Vicksburg Address. Also Gettysburg was not really a turning point. It was really that a lot of people died during that 3-day period. One small point is that if Lee had won, there could have been a significant threat to DC. I've been to Gettysburg but not to Vicksburg yet.
I would argue that the Emancipation Proclamation was the turning point of the war.
@@bryanscollick8305 I don’t agree, it was issued only after the war or northern aggression began to turn in the north’s favor.
97/100 as a lifelong history fan i'm glad i'm not too bad on the basics 😁
91 out of 100 questions answered correctly. Thank you for the quiz.
Great quiz as always, I scored 97/100 (history was my favourite subject in school) - thanks, Ben! 🙂
Excellent! I wasn't sure if a history quiz would be popular, but it sure is. 😁
Great quiz 97/100. I got the four moons, the Wright brothers and the atomic bomb names wrong. As a medieval history/ classics graduate from 30 odd years ago I'm pleased I remembered as much I did. For the more modern questions I must have picked up more than I realized over the years especially on US history being from the UK.
I always enjoy your quizzes. I learn something new everytime
As a 9 Grader from Thailand,being the best at history in the class,i got 84/100.This video is very suit to use in the exam instead of what my teacher give me
90/100, I dithered over a few, but well chuffed with my score. Great quiz as always, thanks Ben. Got the bonus too.
It's exactly the same with me.
I love saying that. Well Chuffed With Myself!!.
I feel that way as i got 93...wooohoooo!.
These questions were really easy which makes it all the more shameful that I got 13 questions wrong.
You have nothing to be ashamed off. I taught medieval history at University when I was younger and I got 10 incorrect myself. 87% at university is first class!
@@ravenclaw8975 In high school and college in Minnesota, getting 90% right on a test gave you a solid A. I was happy to get 95 right.

I had been looking for this kind of trivia challenge. Thank you for the game, the education, and the curiosity to look up what I got wrong.
Loving this. I am ashamed I am getting so many wrong being a history major and all, especially those from my European emphasis.
How many did you get if you don't mind me asking?
After awhile I lost count, there were so many@@habibi_sport312
Good range of questions, thanks Ben. 96/100 and have completely forgotten what the bonus question was :)
That was fun; thanks!! (I got 9 wrong-sigh). Your pronunciation of Bologna was perfect, by the way.
Here are a few tougher questions....
1. Lulach the Simple Minded was the successor of which slightly more famous 11th century king?
2. Suryavarman II is a 12th century king best known for ordering the construction of which building?
3. The 13th century Malbork Castle, the largest in the world by land area, is in which European country?
4. Widely used in mediaeval times for cleaning, wool processing and as a source of saltpetre for gunpowder, what was aged to make lant?
5. A protest by nobles at Speyer in 1529 is thought to be the origin of what word, associated with religion?
6. Which astronomer had a pet moose which got drunk and fell down the stairs?
7. In which decade did the British Empire have its largest extent?
I got 88. Not bad, but I thought I would do a bit better. I did get all of the ones about the U.S. or the U.K. Watching "The History of Britain" with Simon Schama helped. Definitely one of the best documentary series ever made. Good quiz.
I agree about the Simon Schama series. Great documentary.
86/100. Very nice quiz. Keep up the good work!
Excellent, will do.
I'm only 60 and just got 93 right. I and my wife were both playing along and she kept giving me a weird look and saying "how the heck do you know this stuff?" as I was also blurting out the answer before the choices were provided.
Don't know what it was you tapped in to, but it resonated with me.
Bravo Zulu.
Enjoyed the quiz. I finished school at 16 years old (now 67 years old). Scored 86 - multiple choice helped as they jogged my memory. No multiple choice and my score would have dropped considerably.
Somewhat ashamed to admit getting 96/100. A few I may have missed without the multiple choice. I really wasn’t sure who named the x-ray but I was certain who hadn’t. I’ll have to go back to figure out which questions I missed and will need to engage with those topics more. Thanks for the fun quiz!
Native german speakers have an advantage with that question, as the rays as well as the apparati to perform x-rays and the people performing the action and judging the pictures are named after it's inventor in german. (Even though he wanted to call them like they are called in english)
No one cares
Thanks for the very comprehensive history quiz, Ben! I really enjoyed it. 🙏🥰👍🦋
Awesome, thanks 😁
97 here, and kicking myself for one of the misses.
Nice little quiz, thanks!
Appreciate the work you put into this. Thanks.
My pleasure!
I don't know how i know the answers to 50% of these
100 from 100 wow I'm into history but didn't expect this, only question that I almost failed was the Byzantium emperor dying while defending his city.
Thank you, again, so amazing - I have learned so much from this. 93/100, and surprised by the elements I did not recognise. Your challenges continue to teach me, and I look forward to finding the next. I do not object to the long format, as this provides so much opportunity to learn and to re-enforce some of the data that I think I already know. Cheers! And *BRING IT*
You're very welcome!
No such names as Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain: It is Fernando and Isabel. Let’s get that straight.
They're the English versions of the names, of course. The ones I learned growing up in Minnesota.
@@thephilosophicalagnostic2177 Yeah, but it goes beyond that: Naming the Causeway in Padre Island ISABELLA. I would think that if they name a bridge after you, that you would want YOUR NAME ON IT, not your name in Russian.
This is not world history. This is European history.
And American history.
99/100 yeeeaah booiiiiiii (missed Vostok 1; would have missed San Salvador and Constantine XI without options)
I definitely missed San Salvador, even with options :)
I got 95/100 and a little proud: as a german some questions were quite america-specific and tricky for me. But it was really fun! Thank you!
62, no college education, just a love of history. I got 94 out of 100, though I was only completely stumped on two of them. The others I vacillated between the correct answer and the incorrect answer. This may be my new favorite thing.
Awesome 👍😁
I got 93/100! Thank you for showing me which bits of history i need to brush up on!
I love these tests. They make me think about things. I got 90 out of 100 correct. Hopefully better next Quiz.
Got 95 right. Thanks for posting
Born in 2003, got 75/100 right. Have to improve my worldwide history knowledge.
The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, founded in 859 AD, is recognized by UNESCO as the. oldest existing degree-granting university in the world
90/100 , I'm proud because I've never studied history, most of these answers were found in books and movies. very fun video I was so bored before clicking and it helped lol.
Wrong, 10,14,27,38,39,44,47,61,64,67,70,71,72,73,83, so 85/100, I started off great and finished well also. But got 3 in a row wrong,😰71,72,73😰 and a few were lucky guesses.
BTW Q100 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela what a great man. From prison to president, yet still tells the white people of South Africa that they have a home and future in this country.
Total respect for having a vision of equal rights and justice for all people that want to call South Africa home.
He could have so easily taken the revenge path of President Mugabe of Zimbabwe and felt justified in doing so.
I never studied history,but I read varied kinds of books..I have lively interest in history in general and geography too. I am 79 years old and happy to say my score is 89.
Wow 98/100. Some educated guesses in there but still. Very good quiz. Maybe put in a question about Australia next time.
Got 92/100. Wonderful result for 9th class boy, eh?
18:34 This one was my favourite question. Because I'm interested in Napoleon and his era nowadays.
Awesome 👍
100/100 that was easy for a change:) All primary school questions :) I'm Dutch, so we also learned about American local history :)
Easy. But great video, thanks!
I got 75/100. Need to get better in history.
Great quiz, I know a little bit more than I thought! 80/100!
I’m 72, a Canadian. I got four wrong. I did get the bonus for Augustus’s other name…. Love History. 😃
89/100 here. I have degrees in philosophy, English, and Religion. I guess I need to brush up on my world history.
72/100 for someone who has never read any history other than ancient Roman is a score I’m rather happy with. I learnt an awful lot, thanks for this quiz!
Very enjoyable ! I just found your channel and subscribed. Both history and geography scores were 89 out of 100.😊
Welcome aboard!
Very, very easy questions.
I thoroughly enjoyed this long history quiz, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
92/100. Granted I did guess several I had no idea about. History videos on CZcams have certainly been more engaging than 10th grade history back in the 90s.
This was fun. 85/100. Definitely weak on my South American history
Great quiz. Got 90/100. Will try for a better score next time. Please include a few questions on the history of the Indian subcontinent. Thank you.
95/100. A few lucky guesses but still not too bad.
Enjoyed as always.
I got 86 out of 100. I have always loved history. In this case, some of it I lived through. At 73 I'm pretty pleased I could reach back to retrieve back to some of it I learned in school.
I scored 80 correct. I'm sure many others felt like I did when I was waffling on a few answers and it always seemed to be the one I didn't select when I was torn between 2 until the last second. Hope to do better in Part 2. Love these quizzes though 👍
Ben, your Italian was perfect! Bologna, Galileo Galilei, Marconi... bravo! Good quiz. Question: Why did the States wait until 1941 to join the allied forces?
Thank you 😊
@francescaemc2 Because that was the earliest time FDR could goad the Japanese into attacking the US fleet at Pearl Harbour and sway US public opinion in favour of joining the war. They had been traditionally isolationist before then.
@@davidwhite4874 Thank you. I would have thought the death camps would be enough...
@@francescaemc2 Nobody knew about them then.
@@davidwhite4874 nobody? right....The U.S. were turning back ships with Jews and other persecuted people seeking asylum.
I scored 86, but here's a tip: the USA and Europe are not the whole world. There is much more to History than just that. Another point is about the discovery of the plane. Alberto Santos Dumont is considered the Father of Aviation throughout the world. Maximum recognition for the pioneering spirit of having managed to fly with a device heavier than air and with its own propulsion. The feat took place at the Campo de Bagatelle, in Paris, on October 23, 1906. I'm not sure if I'm going to take the second quiz or even follow the channel. 🤔🤔🤔
The second quiz covers more of the rest of the world, but is probably more difficult. Thanks for commenting
Suprised I got 94. I'm a huge history buff. My 1st quiz on here, but defiitely subscribing. That was fun.
Thanks for subscribing 😁 I hope you enjoy my other videos.
thanks for this quiz it improved my knowledge about history this help a lot since i have this subjs on my course
Glad it helped
Got a 93/100. Got stumped by a couple of the questions. Very good quiz!
Never formally studied history, but always had a love of it. Had no trouble with the ancient stuff, tripped up on a few of the Mexican based ones. Got 94 right. Not bad, if I do say so myself.
This quiz was super americentric.
I got a 96/100
I take issue with a few of your answers, namely 28 and 96
28 - the First Crusade started when Alexios Komnenos of the Byzantines asked the Pope for military assistance against the Seljuks, the "recapture the holy lands" spin was only added after the Crusade had already begun
96 - the official name of Saigon is Ho Chi Minh City
I never enjoyed history at school but it looks like a long life has taught me a lot about the past. I scored 86/ 100 I stumbled a bit on the American history questions but I am Australian.
