Throw up some stuff at the end on the end screen for you uh how it works is this I will let the question uh play out I’ll give I’ll give it time to show all the responses and then I’ll pause it before it shows the answer and I will
Give my answer if I know it I haven’t seen this yet so we’ll see I keep wait keep looking for ones that are going to be really challenging and really stump me and I and I’ve missed some on some of these for sure uh and then we’ll also
Use it as an opportunity to actually talk about the history behind those questions if it’s a topic that I know something about and hopefully I will uh so it’s an opportunity to have a little fun but also learn and talk about a variety of Topics in the process I will
Link in the description to the original content uh this one is on a channel that it’s called brain Munch quizzes so let’s go ahead and dive In I have no idea are you ready to be taken back in time today’s quiz is all about history so get ready for 10 questions that will really test your knowledge question one what was the name of the Anglo-Saxon King whose death batt of Hastings 6 is depicted on the Bayou
Tapestry Edward the Confessor Alfred the Great Harold godwinson or Cedric of Wessex so uh it’s Harold godwinson and uh Edward the Confessor was a king of England in fact he’s buried in Westminster Abbey Alfred the Great was a king of wessix who had this dream of uniting all of the various English
Kingdoms into an England uh which eventually happened I think under his son or grandson um not real familiar with ceric of wessix but it’s Harold godwinson he was killed at the Battle of Hastings after having won a battle up at Stanford Bridge there were basically three armies that were
Competing at that point for control of England Harold wins the first battle and then loses the second to William the bastard as he was known the Duke of Normandy uh there’s actually a like a movie or a TV show coming out about them pretty soon I’m excited about but it’s Harold godwinson Harold
Godwinson question two how old is the earth in years it’s not really history million 4.54 billion or 4.54 trillion uh so science will say it’s 4.54 billion uh again that’s why I say this is science and not history because history is about written record and written history
Really only goes back what 10,000 years if that uh to what we have recorded it’s probably less than that um I mean we have certain things that we can see as evidence of people that have left behind but actual written history actually probably only goes back what five four 5 thousand
Years 4.54 billion years old question three the first female recipient of a Nobel Prize in science was Mari C all the Polish people saying no her name was not Marie cury it was what wesa no wesa is somebody else she had a Polish the second Irene jolet C actually don’t know
The answer Strickland to this Dorothy cord hodkin or Barbara mlto I’m going to go with Barbara mclin talk but I have no idea why and I actually don’t know any of these folks unfortunately need to study up on my scientist history Irene jolet C another C question
What is the name of the oldest commissioned warship in the world USS Constitution Mary Rose this could be a trick question Warrior or HMS Victory all right so this could be a trick question here uh and I’ll say why uh HMS victory is the oldest commissioned warship in the world I believe it
Actually Remains the flagship like for the first Lord of the admiralty or something like that um but USS Constitution is the oldest warship of float the commission warship that actually can sail and goes out onto the the sea occasionally so it depends on what they’re going to go with here should be
Victory under that wording of the question HMS victory yeah question five which US president was born William Jefferson ble III Richard Nixon John F Kennedy Bill Clinton or William McKinley uh so it’s Bill Clinton um William McKinley is actually William McKinley Jr I mean if we’re going to get real technical about
People’s names um William Jefferson blide theii is Bill Clinton he took his stepfather’s name Clinton uh he’s one of several presidents that are known by names other than their birth names um Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch king um ulyses S Grant was born hyram Ulisses Grant uh Calvin kulage is John
Calvin k and woodro Wilson is Thomas woodro Wilson and Grover Cleveland is Steven Grover Cleveland a lot of people went by their middle names back in the day in fact uh it’s kind of funny my my great-grandfather his name was James estl mauy but he was known by Estel his
Whole life and Estel is what’s on his Tombstone um but he he was one of 11 boys and one girl in their family of 12 kids and I think 10 of the TW 10 of the 11 boys went by their middle names crazy question six the egyptologist Howard Carter reportedly said he could
See wonderful things on first looking into the tomb of witch Pharaoh in 1922 amenhotep the first rames thei tutan kman or hatut uh so it’s toot and common hot chup so was a female but I believe she was is she the one that was known as a pharaoh I think so um Ramsey
II is known as Ramsey the Great he’s one of the all-time great pharaohs and I do want to dive into some more Egyptian history I’m hoping to get to Egypt once things calmed down in that part of the world a little bit uh but yeah Howard Carter Lord canaran they were all part
Of that expedition that found King tutt’s tomb in 1922 uh and it was a big deal not because King Tut was a big deal it was actually a pretty minor Pharaoh in the grand scheme of things but unlike most of these other guys his tomb was intact bump it into my microphone there
To and common died young he was a teenager when he died question seven on which ship did Captain William bl’s crew rise up in Mutiny against him in 1789 HMS Bounty yep HMS Endeavor HMS Beagle or HMS surprise yeah HMS Bounty um surprise isn’t that the one in uh
Master and Commander far side of the world which is a fantastic movie by the way if you have any any interest whatsoever in the age of sale especially in the Napoleonic era fantastic movie it’s a fictional story but it’s one of those great examples of a fictional story that’s told in a completely
Historical way like they went out of their way to to be as precise as possible in showing what that time period would have looked like and what life would have been like on a ship like that even though it may be a fictional story uh fantastic though uh but it’s
HMS Bounty is is the you Mutiny on the Bounty famous movie HMS Bounty question eight how long after World War II ended was the United Nations forly established 2 years 2 months or 2 weeks I actually don’t know the answer to this but the term United Nations was
Being used during the war and toward the end of the war you start hearing a lot of references made to the United Nations uh in terms of talking about the Allies uh so I’m going to guess two weeks but it’s hard to say I guess it
Depends first of all how are we defining after World War II right because uh if we’re talking about the end of hostilities with Japan uh I guess we’re talking about September I’m going to say two week weeks two months oh okay I had no idea really question nine Romans love to eat
Garam with their meals what was it fermented fish juice a sweet herb a dried egg or pickled fruit garam I actually don’t know this I really hope it’s a sweet herb or dried egg cuz the other two sound gross to me but but um I’m going to go with a sweet herb but
Something deep inside me is horrified at the thought that it might be fermented fish juice especially since the Romans were so close to the Sea it might make sense fermented fish juice I was afraid of that question 10 in 1932 the Australians declared war on which creatures believed to have become a
Nuisance camels kangar Gus emu or koalas the Emu War which they lost by the way sorry Australia I love you you guys were fantastic fighters in the first and second world wars but not so much against the emus we’ve done some videos about this it’s the Emu War
Emu and for today’s true or false bonus question the British monarch is the head of the state of Canada that’s absolutely abolutely true oh I guess they’re not going to show the answer to that one well that was only 10 questions so I feel like we need to do another one let’s find
Another good one to do here all right we’re going to jump right to this one from another Channel known as quiz time and we’ll put the link down in the description for that one as well uh 25 world history trivia questions let’s go and dive right into the first one it’s
Already showing up on the screen here here who was the Roman emperor when the period of pax Roman started peace is what Pax stands for uh that’s Caesar Augustus it’s definitely got to be him he’s the first Roman Emperor uh so I believe that’s who that would be Roman
Started jul Caesar was technically a ROM emper or Nero he was a dictator it was Augustus Caesar who was the first was president that was impeached all right so Richard Nixon was not impeached though they were beginning the process of impeachment when he resigned uh Bill Clinton was impeached but was not removed from office uh impeachment is basically the indictment by the house then there’s a
Trial the Senate votes takes 2third to uh convict and kick you out of office Bill Clinton was not convicted neither was Andrew Johnson he was saved by a single vote in the Senate if one vote had changed he would have been removed from office Richard Nixon Bill Clinton or Andrew Johnson it was Andrew Johnson 17th President what is the meaning of the r in the USSR reevolution uh so the English uh that we use for this is uh Union of Soviet Socialist Republic Republic or region although in Russia I don’t think it’s cccp the r stands for Republic Republic in what year did the
Assassination of Gandhi happen 1932 1948 or 195 it’s 1948 he was assassinated Gandhi Wasing Indira Gandhi was also later assassinated no relation to him 1948 Memphis was the ancient capital of Babylon Egypt or Persia uh capital of Babylon was Babylon I think um capital of Persia can’t remember off the top of
My head but it’s Egypt Memphis was the ancient capital of Egypt Memphis is the ancient capital of Egypt St Patrick introduced Christianity to what country Ireland Norway or Portugal I think most people know this they got a picture of St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City there which is Beautiful by the way um St Patrick introduced Christianity it is said to
Ireland uh he was not Irish he was Romano British uh so he was born in I think today’s England uh to a Roman family but yeah uh is associated with Ireland as the patron saint of Ireland he introduced Christianity to Ireland no multiple choice the famous bloodless people power revolutions happened in what country I have no idea I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard that term before man I’m slacking on this one uh Cuba they took place in the Philippines we just talked about Philippines too how many delegates
Signed the Declaration of Independence 32 56 or 64 56 most of whom signed on August 2nd uh so there’s a lot of confusion about the dates uh July 2nd is when the resolution for Independence was formally adopted that was when the Continental Congress voted for Independence uh it was 12 delegations in
Favor and one New York abstained um they ratified the Declaration of Independence the the final wording of the Declaration on the 4th of July and that’s the date we’ve gone with that’s why that that’s the date on the Declaration but the embossed copy that was signed by everybody the one that’s
In the National Archives that you go and look at today wasn’t even ordered until then and so it took a couple of weeks for them to get that made and then they all gathered to sign on August 2nd not everybody signed that day but that was kind of when the formal signing took
Place there were 56 delegates signing the Declaration of Independence no multiple choice what country is credited for the development of military camouflage I feel like that’s a France thing I don’t know why I’m thinking it’s France I actually don’t know for sure France is responsible development of military C which is a lot better than those crazy bright red pants they were wearing at the start of World War I no multiple choice complete this model from the French Revolution Liberty equality fraternity which I guess would that be Brotherhood is Li Liberty equ eal
Fraternity guess you could say it’s Brotherhood or fraternity and fraternity no multiple choice which country has the most number of casualties during World War II definitely the Soviet Union I don’t think it’s even close maybe China wait is it China Soviet Union it’s got to be
Yeah it was the Soviet Union China had a lot too though people forget that which of these countries did not join the US in their fight against the British France Portugal or the Netherlands the Netherlands gave Financial Resources I’m not sure that they actually fought like in actual combat so I’m
Going to go with Portugal though because the Netherlands definitely supported the us financially it was Portugal John Adams was sent to the Netherlands to deal with that how did Hitler die suicide assassination or poisoning suicide I mean he assassinated himself I guess you could say he also bit down on
A capsule for poisoning but shot himself committ suicide who was the US president from 1801 to 1805 John Adams George Washington or Thomas Jefferson so uh Washington’s president for eight years from 1797 to 17 or from 1789 to 1797 Adams was his vice president Adams served serves the next four years from
1797 to 1801 with Jefferson as his vice president and then Jefferson wins the election of 1800 becomes president in 1801 uh at that time the person who came in second in electoral votes became vice president uh that was changed when Jefferson became president so they went to kind of the more traditional running
Mate scenario that we have now uh but Jefferson serves two terms and then it kind of goes from there so the answer is Jefferson it was Thomas Jefferson in what year did the Ottoman Empire conquer Constantinople 1353 1453 or 1553 so it’s 1453 and a lot of people point to that year as the end of what we call the medieval period um some people when talking about more Western history like the English
For example will point to 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth and Henry tutter coming to the throne of England uh but a lot of people use 1453 kind of end of an era really the year was 1453 who was the person behind the famous drawing Vitruvian Man D Vinci

People know this one it’s the uh Second World War December January of 19 it was a battle during World War II what is the name of the line that divided North and South Korea the 52nd parallel the 38th parallel or the 25th parallel so the Korean war is kind of
This war of extremes right like uh you know the the front gets pushed all the way to one side then it gets pushed all the way back to the other side and then it kind of settles in somewhere in the middle and when they sign the armist
There there’s never been a peace treaty so there’s just an Armistice in place 38th Parallel that line is the 38th Parallel in which country did the Battle of waterl happen Russia Belgium or France it’s Belgium it’s just outside of Brussels it’s a little south of Brussels and uh I’m going there in July that took place in Belgium pretty excited Helen refers to the name that blink used to identify themselves Greeks
