    I got 98/100, but I studied European history and geography in college, and have visited over 100 countries, which is a great way to remember places around the globe! Didn't know Les Bleus and a Chinese dynasty, but some of these questions were ones I had heard before, maybe 10 of them.

      @@XavierChavez-k2u I too made dozens of "educated guesses". The thing is, this series helps with such thing as they don't often include deceiving questions/choices for example if they ask about a historical figure from a Latin American country it's often safe to exclude names that doesn't sound Latin and so on!

      I got 93, but half of those were (slightly) educated guesses. I guess that means that I "learned" those at some time but couldn't tell you when or how; the answers were just "in there somewhere,"

    The wonderful thing about history questions is that people pride themselves on knowing every detail of a certain culture and time frame instead of asking history questions that deal with the broad strokes of significant parts of what we should all know. Maybe the history professors should just stay in a classroom with each other. You would have fun!

    The leader of the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae was
    King Leonidas. Here's a story about his legendary stand:
    In the summer of 480 BCE, the Persian Empire, under the rule of King Xerxes, was on the march, seeking to conquer Greece.
    The Greek city-states, normally fractured and at odds with one another, united against the common threat. Among them, the Spartans stood as the epitome of martial prowess and unyielding courage.
    At the forefront of this resistance was King Leonidas of Sparta. A seasoned warrior and a shrewd leader, Leonidas was chosen to lead a small force to the narrow pass of Thermopylae, the "Hot Gates," a strategic chokepoint where the vastly outnumbered Greek forces could hold off the Persian army.

    Great quiz thanks. 96/100. King Tut died at 18 I think.
    The Supermarine Spitfire shown is possibly a Mk IX (9).

    79/100- got lucky with some guessing and educated guessing, and for some reason I didn't say Roman's for the roads question, no idea why.
