Florence Nightinggale was a nurse, Mary Secole provided "services" to officers.
But they were both associated with the Crimean War and that was the point. Mary didn't just provide 'services' as you put it, she set up the British Hotel and also went out to tend wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
@@janrogers8352 Secole never set foot on the battlefield. Her "hotel" was strictly reserved for the entertainment of the officers- enlisted men ( especially non-white) were off limits.

As an American, I found this a very interesting quiz. Did well on the "big picture" items, but got lost on more detailed happenings such as the dates on your suffragettes.
I think Caratacus is an equally good answer to question 35.
So is Calgacus.
I think the court of king Caratacus may have passed them by
Excellent questions. A great mix. Thank you.
Excellent quiz. I am not as smart as I thought I was 🙂😄
Was good history
V.good
Great quiz
most of the right.
Ireland didn't leave the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland did. Northern Ireland is still part of the UK.
Loved the quiz.
Unfortunately.
Bit of a stretch to argue the Magna Carta was the origin of parliament.
35/40 thanks I enjoyed that.
Thank you. I enjoyed this.
Good quiz never the less.
Got about 10 right . But I'm a US citizen . Did'nt study much English history in school.
Good try. See how you do on the US presidents quiz.
This covers more than just English history.
@@AV-fo5de it said British history
Prior to 1776 it is also your history.
13 out of 40. As an American, I probably did better than most!
im from columbus ohio i got 36
@@therockcasserole3563 I'm ashamed! I'm 80 percent Anglo Saxon, I'm studying right now! 36 out of 40, much respect!
38/40. I'm a lifelong Anglophile though, and have been studying UK history since I was a wee lass.
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 Much respect, I would do far better now!
@@therockcasserole3563 I'm from Franklin Furnace, OH. Correctly answered over 40, & missed 3 others by one year. My degree was in History, but not primarily British.
What was the name of the one peasant who revolted in 1381? (Or maybe you meant Peasants' Revolt?)
The lesser known Pedant's revolt of 2022. 😉
The name of the peasants' leader,who was killed,was Wat Tyler.
Paul you must have taught English in school or took the letter writing class in Business school. In both cases there was a text on punctuation and grammar as part of the class. So the common must go AFTER the s.
Walter "Wat" Tyler
Good tough quiz.
As I've been in Australia for 58 years and left Bethnal Green when I was 13 I was surprised just how much I still remembered, but horrified at what I'd forgotten. More please...😂😂
Great fun, good mix. I had lots of near hits, such as 1924 instead of 1922 for Irish Home Rule and 1916 instead of 1918 for women´s suffrage. The answering space is also a bit tight, with Robert the Bruce hanging on the tip of my tongue whilst I´m glad you allowed William and Mary instead of having to figure out their numbers as well: William III and Mary II.
The Prince of Orange was also William II of Scotland, though he is usually known by his English regnal name, which is William III of England.
I got 21. It was mainly English history though
See above.
31/40 correct. Mainly wobbly on some dates.
% deaths in the Black Death can only be estimated, but academics generally believe it to have been in the 30-40% range, although some do say higher.
30-40% would have ben a better answer than 'a third'. I said 30% and wasn't sure whether to mark that one right or wrong
@@fatbelly27 You would be as right as anyone like me who said 1/3. Its just not possible to know how many died. The one thing we can be reasonably sure of is that this Island was not as badly affected as the continent where almost 1/2 were victims. An interesting fact is that the building of the Underground in London has uncovered a lot of evidence for the Black Death and that tradition goes on with Cross Rail. Digging a hole in London is like looking for treasure but its not shinny just historical.
Brilliant quiz, must have missed it earlier. I believe I scored 35/36 ish as lost count. Great set of questions, I just love history 👍
3 and a half correct. I called Margaret Thatcher the Iron Maiden. 🇺🇸
she was called a lot worse in the UK
Cecilia Rauth. Both methods of torture.
I called her "the milk snatcher"
She was aqlso known as the kids milk snatcherafter she cancelled the free milk for children at school..
I'm sure a lot of people called her something else
Missed4 good quizzes 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an American 🇺🇸 who loves British History, I’m pretty bad at dates for a lot of things other than the “big ones” like 1066 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
21/40......bah!
32/40, not bad, got ones I should have known wrong and pulled a few out the bag I didn't realise I did know. Good fun quiz.
WOW
34/40 .
25/40 great quiz thanks very much.
It seems I know some history: I missed no 21 and 29. But many questions are related to Europe's history... Do you know we have in Romania a town called Deva? Well, as a Romanian I couldn't miss any of the questions related to the Romans! Lol
#25 Margaret Thatcher had a lot of nicknames! One which is polite enough to post here is "Margaret Thatcher, milk snatcher".
"The Peasant's Revolt". Just one peasant?
He was revolting
34 right, 6 wrong... not bad for an American!
Very good and difficult quiz-managed 27/40 so thanks a lot much appreciated.
Great fun, got 25 right and very near misses on probably 5 or 6, I thought I was better than that!!!
Good degree of difficulty. I knew the answers but it took longer than 10 seconds for most of them
14/40 (T-T) and I'm really interested in History. There's a difference between being interested and studying, obviously. For a United States-ian it was pretty tricky. And I only got a couple because of my Ancient Rome knowledge.
The UK never went to war with Argentina over the Falklands. The Government decided instead on the stance of exercising its right of self-defence under the UN Charter. There was no declaration of war.
It was always referred to as the Falklands Conflict.
But it was often referred to as the Falklands War, even though it wasn't on a technicality. It doesn't alter the fact that people died on both sides of the conflict.
" Battle tested in the South Atlantic". The most ridiculous thing I had ever seen occur. A short while ago I looked up with statistics on the Falkland island war. 3 civilians got killed but they didn't say how many sheep.
It technically wasn't a war just as the Cod War wasn't war with Iceland.
@@fatbelly27 But both were very cold
Only 21/40 and I thought I would be ok
32/40 - it would have been 33/40 had I remembered Alan Turing.
Question 35 could have more than one answer rather than just the most well-known tribal leader.
Whether [spoiler removed] was the first Prime Minister is debatable. He and many 'Firsts Lords of the Treasury' after him would have treated the title as a derogatory slur. Being really pedantic, the position didn't officially exist until 1905 and wasn't even used in documents before this until Disraeli was in charge.
Absolutely, since there was no official first prime minister, whilst one could also argue that there were Presidents of the USA before George Washingtom under the old system of "Articles of Confederation" before the US Consititution was devised.
Good quiz I got 23/40. Anymore quizzes I enjoy that 🙂
#4: None of Henry VIII's wives reigned. They were Queen consorts. Otherwise, a great quiz. Missed three - the percentage deaths in Black Death, Bannockburn leader, and date of Aussie independence.
Well played
Thats juts the wording of the question. They mean reign as his wife.
@@makeshift112000 Yes, you are probably correct, but the fact remains that only one person may reign at a time. Hence, the distinction between regnant and consort. The only exception in British history has been the joint reign of Mary II and William III.
Yeah that threw me off Queens reign.
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 I was just about to say that, William and Mary.
23/40
i got 36
anyone think question 25 was milk snatcher lol
Good quiz. I got 31/40.
A mere 27. I was a year out on three of them.
Excellent quiz, but poor result 30/40 "Could do better" ! lol
35
#14 Officially it still exists
Britain has only had one Queen Elizabeth, she died last week. The first was Queen of England only, not Britain
A very good quiz. These questions were not obscure, but date (year it occurs) questions I consider a little unfair. I missed most of them by 1 or 2 years and I should get partial credit.
John you know or don't know sorry I got 5 right not complaining
U get 1/1000th partial pt.
If your married try getting a partial credit if you get within a year or so of your wedding day when your wife asks you !
I got a few of the date ones,mostly from the 20th Century,a handful of years out but was a bit wide of the mark with the date of Aussie independence. Outside of that,I got 4 questions wrong,3 of which I'm kicking myself for not getting right.
Dates are the easiest.
60%, but was torn on a number of answers, with my 2nd choice right. Ugh
You know, it wasn't Richard III who was the last king of the Plantagenet Dynasty but rather Richard II. Richard III was the last king of the York Dynasty, being replaced by the first Tutor king Henry VII.
10,🙏🙏🙏🙏TO EVERYONE in the HC IAN AT THE MOMENT, OR WHO MIGHT BE IN DAYS TO COME, THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️🇦🇺
Err, none of the wife’s of Henry VIII ’reigned’…
18.
36/40
Well done
28
24/40
It was not until 1928 that all women obtained the right to vote. My grand mother benefited from this.
American here 32/40
The Glorious Revolution wasn't bloodless in Ireland and Scotland. Battle of the Boyne 1690, Battle of Killiecrankie 1689. Both involved supporters of the deposed James VII. So only bloodless in England not Britain
This was English History Quiz
I’m ashamed of myself I’m a Brit and I go less than seven and no more than six I’m gutted I actually thought I was good at history
I thought I was better too. I got 18 wrong!
The plural of army is armies.
Should be English quiz not many questions other than about English history British would include Scotland and Wales.
Very good quiz, sadly it showed how poor my English history is and I’m English!
29 correct, just how many wars have Britain been involved in?
LOTS!!
@@aspenrebel Countless.
@@AV-fo5de Depends upon when you start counting and what you call a war.
And only lost to USA. But they cheated.
@@MrTonyHeath again depends on when you start counting. The "Brits" (Saxons mainly) lost to William the Conquerer in 1066 AD.
I thought I was a fart smeller till I did this quiz.
what is the music?
I thought Elisabeth 2 was the thurd, but it's Bhumibol Adulyadej
Well I sucked on that quuz. I'm an American but of English decent. A little off on some years
*descent, though I'm sure you are also decent.
It's Magna Carta. Saying The Magna Carta is saying The The Great Charter.
I am ashamed to say I got only about half of them right. I expected to do better.
We got them all, proper clever we are.
Good quiz, missed a couple of the dates by a year or two. If you can answer the questions all well and good, maybe learn something along the way. But I do find the nit picking comments irritating, if all you can do is pick holes in the wording of a question, you really must have very little else to occupy your time.
Or need to expand your knowledge!
I need to study more.
Good quiz; I was pretty happy with 35/40 - but some issues here with possessive apostrophes: should be "the king's horse" (not "the Kings", Q 8); "peasants' revolt" (not "peasant's"); "Scottish army's victory " (not "armys", Q 10), "England's" (not "Engalnds", Q 34).
It’s “Magna Carta” not “the Magna Carta”. Pedantic? Moi?
Mary Seacole was not a nurse
Great quiz, although your English punctuation was pretty bad in some of the questions.
31 0f 40 not good for a Canadian
It was not realy a British History Quiz as it barely acknowledged the existence of any nation of the UK other than England.
I went with milk snatcher rather than iron lady
About two questions that didn't relate wholly to England. Just call it English history and be done.
No questions about Wales. A couple directly about Scotland. A mention of Ireland, though no Northern Ireland. Obviously whoever compiled this couldn't be bothered researching Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish history. Disappointing quiz.
Australia isn’t independent of the UK. It formed a union of states in 1901, but is still ruled by the British monarch.
I'd disagre. Australia makes its own decisions, quite independently of the UK. It does not have to consult the UK government in any way.
The monarch of Australia is the same person as the UK monarch and like wise the UK monarch is the same person as the Australian monarch. However, it does not have to be. Australia, like the UK or Canada etc is free to decide to have a different monarch or no monarch.
Is the UK independent from Australia knowing both are ruled by the king of Australia
belonging to the commonwealth and having the monarchy as head of state is a matter of choice of the independent state not of belonging to the UK. sometimes an education is helpful.
@@2adamast and of Canada yes simpler choices not ownership
Nope. Fully independent.
typical, no questions about wales, one about ireland, three that referenced england and scotland together. if you are going to do an english quiz, call it an english quiz. thatcher was not called IRON MAIDEN IN SCOTLAND, IT WAS SOMETHING RHER DIFFERENT
She wasn’t called the iron maiden at all. She was called the Iron Lady.
ua-cam.com/video/86URGgqONvA/v-deo.html - run to the hills
The number of the beast 🎸.
The Scots are so creative with invective! I'd love to know what you called her.
The answer to Question 1 is incorrect or the question is imprecise. Elizabeth II is the longest reigning British Monarch but the second longest reigning monarch world wide Louis XIV reigned for 72 years 110 days , Elizabeth II only 70 years and 214 days. Therefore the third longest reiging monarch worldwide would be Victoria. If you meant only British monarchs than the question should have said this.
No such thing as a Prime Minister of England; it's the UK.
Que: 34: who was what??? Dear gawd, please check your spelling.
Australia is not independent it's a self governing British dominion the same as Canada and New Zealand
It's not a British Dominion anymore. The level of independence from 1901 (as in the question) is debatable but it has been FULLY independent since the Australia Act 1986. This eliminated the last vestiges of the UK legislation affecting Australia or an Australian citizen being able to appeal to a higher British court of law. The Queen reigns in both countries but, regardless of what power the Queen has or hasn't got, she is not a country.
Dominions are, like the UK itself fully independent countries thar are members of the Commonwealth.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not Dominions and have not ben so for decades.
becoming informed would help !
"BCE"? How very Woke!
You have a very odd definition of Northern. Manchester is in the Midlands and Chester is south of Manchester! Oh, and the Falklands conflict wasn't a war - war was never declared; more of a kerfuffle really 🙂.
Ahh but a lot did die. Arlund 254 Brits and 1000 plus argentinians, I think. Brits lost a lot of ships though.
Manchester and Chester have always been titled "Northern". It is simply an example of London centric thinking. You should try being of one of the Celtic nations!
Manchester and Chester are never referred to as The Midlands. I should know having been born and lived in The Midlands.
Manchester is very much in the North.
@@AV-fo5de I know but the Scots often don't like to be thought of as British do they? So the geography terms are considering Scotland to be a separate entity, even if it is part of Britain. Shouldn't Scots be pleased? (Only joking).
