38 ...grew up in Canada where we also had to learn American and world history and geography.
Three wrong, thank you
A nice range of questions, but I expect precision from a quiz channel. Here is some nitpicking:
15. Great Britain is an Island. The country is named United Kingdom
20. Charles Lindbergh was not the first man to fly across the Atlantic. That was done by brits Alcock and Browne i 1919, 8 years before Lindbergh. Lindberghs achievement was flying solo, and on the longer route from New York to Paris
22. The Berlin Wall was not build in Germany, as at that time, 1961, that country didn’t exist. It was build by DDR, (Deutche Demockratishe republik) also called East Germany by English speaking people.
31. It is spelled Motorwagen. Not motorwagon.
32. At best you can say that a large upgrade of previous border walls was started in 215-210 BC. Later other walls were build in different locations and directions. But it wasn’t a Great Wall before the 15th century.
38.They were Norsemen or Islanders, not Vikings.
Viking is like a pirate, and that is an activity or profession, not a name for the people
Hope someone appreciate these golden nuggets 🤪
The United Kingdom is not a country, but a political union, the same as the EU and now defunct USSR
@@andrewmccartneyy6981 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is definitely a country. Try google it.
The EU is a sort of a political union, the USSR was a mixture of political union and country.
Columbus personally
step 1st time on land on Hispaniola, not the Bahamas
Also, there are two answers for who was President during the American Civil War -Jefferson Davies also was.
First man!!! Not first men!
It is wonderful, thanks for this quiz.

40/40
37/40 for me.
regarding question # 20. the first man/men to fly across the Atlantic were two British men, John Alcock and Arthur Brown from St. John's, Newfoundland (now a province of Canada) to Clifden, Ireland from June 14 - 15, 1919 in a Vickers Vimy aircraft. Your question should have read who was the first person to fly solo across the atlantic.
aka I got it wrong and looking for an excuse
In 36 the name of the Viking who I’d given credit is Leif Ericsson a famous Explorer in the 11th century.
Some pretty dubious answers in this quiz. One has been mentioned in an earlier comment. I would like to add that the Great wall of china was built over a period of several centuries.
That also had me totally confused
Question 16 - It wasn’t Napoleon, Emperor Francis I of Austria formally dissolved the HRE in light of Napoleon’s formation of the Confederation of the Rhine
Great quiz, ejoyed it, nice range, 38/40, i study history most days, actually almost finished wrting my first history book. 'TRIPPED UP IN HISTORY', Its called. An autodidacts synopsis, compendium on political, philosophical, religious, phsycological, civilisations, inventions, including some of the great people of the times, how the greatest settlements were the ones who mixed there cultures, learned from past history and all that had enhanced life and enabled us to get were we are today. Also a comparison on how Aristotle intimately taught Alexander of pella, in the very same Cesar also procured and taught Augustus 1 from childhood, he was his nephew, and how both these great people, leaders and thinkers created the two greatest leaders of greece and rome rspectively. So far im 3 years into it. Was only goina be antiquity but i kept going.
must be a long fuckin book

Charles Lindbergh was NOT the first man to fly across the Atlantic. John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown did it in 1919. Lindbergh was the first to do it solo.

Good quiz,tough loss 28/40.Thanks for the lesson.
The Romans did NOT speak Latin. They used Latin as administrative language and partially as written language. They spoke an early form of Italian. The Industrial Revolution began in both England AND Belgium.
the romans did speak latin. most of them were illiterate, and most didnt speak as well as Cicero or anything, but the majority still spoke ‘colloquial’ latin, the same as the majority of us speak ‘colloquial’ english, rather than the formal ‘King James’ equivalent. ig you could say they spoke proto-italian though, in the sense that italian (and all romantic languages) varyingly evolved from latin.
Do not confuse England with Great Britain. The Scots contributed a great deal to the Industrial Revolution. 🇬🇧🏴👍
Meg…. Who let you back into the house?
They used Greek for administrative purposes, as did the Egyptians.

35 \40 Good quiz 😊🐘
First to fly across the atlantic was Lieutenant Commander Albert Read, US Navy and five others in May 1919, 8 years before Lindberg.
That's a tricky one to support as although they did technically fly across the Atlantic, it took them 23 days and a whole bunch of stops along the way and they also swapped aircraft. Alcock and Brown did it non-stop only a few days later within 16 hours.
Essai 😮
Rome was founded in 753 BC...
The kingdom was founded in 753 B.C, the empire was declared in 27 B.C when Julius Caesar died and Augustus took over
@@Jabman728 splitting hairs here but Octavian took over and like his distant cousin and adopted father took a different name to rule by. Julius Caesar having the given name of Gaius up until he took his father's place in the senate.
26 / 14 not as good as I thought
Hyy I'm Anjali I'm from Haryana what about you 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
just wanted to let you know, marie antoinette never actually said let them eat cake
The line was used before Marie Antoinette was born. One likely source was her mother in law who being queen and from the aristocracy had little, if any, understanding of the issues facing the common people.
Q7: Which American president was an actor ?
Answer: All of them!🤣

20/40
7 wrong!
28 correct answers
But probabaly the most honest.
According to Antonia Fraser Marie-Antoinette never uttered those words about the people and cakes. According to her ( a well known and well respected Historian ) Marie was more like Diana, Princess of Wales - as was, never mind Elizabeth Bartory.
I did poorly in this quiz - scoring only 32 points. But I`m a mathematician, not an historian. History - to me - is difficult on the grounds that it has no rules. Plenty or Rulers. Far too many is what I think !
The words pre date Marie Antoinette, possibly originating with her mother in law.

36 correct
Wrong in Q25 it was not founded 27BC it was 753BC, please do some real research when putting your Quiz out.
And the first man over the atlantic was not C.Lindberg,
The great wall was not build that year as it was maneged/built many times not one.
Katrina not Catarina
Thanks for the feedback. which question are you referring to?
@@quizhead8635romes empire was established buy the defeat of carthage long before 27 b.c.
No it was founded after Augustus claimed the title of Ceaser (Emperor), the first to do so.
@@steveamoroso9300 what would you consider established, when ceaser claimed power, Octavians rule? Not sure why 27 BC was the answer. Seems there’s always a lot of controversy among historians pertaining to the Roman republic.
@@steveamoroso9300 empirical rome only started with augustus in 27bc, it was a republic, but after the ides of march, rome rebelled, augustus finally ceased control ending the second triumverate, marc anthony althugh married to augustus sister, who in turn married anthonys sister, but then when he married cleopatra, whom was cesars former lover, of the ptolemaic dynasty, basically greco egypt, augustus felt anthony was getting too strong and he would march on rome, so augustus struck first, finding anthony and cleopatra only had a small army of egyptians and romans, who abducated and joined augustus's army, after the lovers fled, committing suicide by pact. Empirical rome dates back to there, pax romana. All Cesars betrayers were killed, he was killed for being immortal, as he was the true saviour of rome, him and scipio stood alone, the senate were afraid of his power, specially after he gave himself the title of ruler for life. Now augustus deified cesar, and for unifying rome, deified himself.
Please check spelling before you put up the questions. Question 14.
too easy
Missed about6 out of 40.
I failed 5. I thought Canada was in America. When did it move ?
About Rome is a trick question. Rome was built ( thought ) in 753. The Empire was centuries later.
Somebody who posted these questions appears to be a little dyslexic.
#32 Nonsense! The Great Wall was built over several centuries and several areas! #36 Fine, but how about the millions of people already living there? #40 Absolute nonsense - hitting a golf ball twice is NOT playing golf!
This video is very bad
Nice video
