​@@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.

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.

'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

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.

Here's a hypothesis from history I find interesting: The Neolithic or Agricultural Revolution was not undertaken voluntarily. In a few areas of the world (six if memory serves me) populations of humans had become so dense that hunting and gathering were no longer practically feasible. Essentially what had been uninhabited "hunting grounds" were now inhabited and people were forced to become more sedentary unable to hunt on their neighbor's land. Nascent farmers were forced to experiment with plants and semi-domesticated animals in order to feed themselves. In all five areas farmers or (proto-farmers) over time found "staple" crops that could serve as a basic source of food perhaps still supplemented by some hunting and fishing as well as consumption of increasingly domesticated animals . These six areas of early farming and there staple crops were: The Nile Valley were wheat was domesticated; the Fertile Crescent where wheat and also Barley were grown; The Indus Delta in what is now Pakistan; The Yellow River Valley, northern Thailand where rice was domesticated; MesoAmerica in what is now central Mexico where Maize (Corn) was domesticated; and The highlands of Peru where a tuber, potatoes became the staple crop. This happened in all these areas at about the same time ( around 12,000 B.C.) Some archaeologists also consider the highlands of interior New Guinea to be a seventh area of origional domestication. In Eurasia the animals domesticated for food sources were cows, pigs, sheep and goats as well as chickens; China also added some semi-domestic ducks. Other than dogs and turkeys and Llamas and Alpaca in Peru-Bolivia as well as (cui i.e. hamsters) the Americas had fewer domestic animals. All in all, transitioning from hunting and gathering to agriculture was not really an advance in human society. Most populations had less variety in their diets and these people were often shorter and perhaps less healthy than their nomadic ancestors. So settled agriculture was forced on people in the more heavily populated areas of the world due to increasing population growth. Settled living brought social hierarchy and the seemingly inevitable exploitation of some groups of people in a society by others as well as warfare of one society against another as scarce resources were contested over. We tend to think of the Neolithic revolution as a great advance in human society but our ancestors probably didn't see it that way. Burgeoning populations constrained their natural nomadic movement and the new settled lifestyle lead to domination of most people by a few at the top of the hierarchy as well as warfare with neighbors over scarce resources.

Excellent, will do.

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

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!

I don't know how i know the answers to 50% of these

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.

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!

This is not world history. This is European history.

And American history.

Born in 2003, got 75/100 right. Have to improve my worldwide history knowledge.

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!

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.

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.

I love these tests. They make me think about things. I got 90 out of 100 correct. Hopefully better next Quiz.

Hello I managed to score 86 and I'm 53 now. I got a good all round quality education in the UK in the 70/80's. Thanks for taking the time out to set out this quiz for us.

Great job!

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.

I scored 92/100. That means that there still is much to learn. I will retire next year, that gives me plenty of time. But more quizzes like this one would surely help. I really enjoyed it. And I want to say thank you for that and to everybody : Happy New Year.

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.

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 👍

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

This was a rather European/America centric quiz... I'm Dutch, 69 years old and scored 98/100

100/100 that was easy for a change:) All primary school questions :) I'm Dutch, so we also learned about American local history :)

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.

I’m 72, a Canadian. I got four wrong. I did get the bonus for Augustus’s other name…. Love History. 😃

97 here, and kicking myself for one of the misses. Nice little quiz, thanks!

Very enjoyable ! I just found your channel and subscribed. Both history and geography scores were 89 out of 100.😊

Welcome aboard!

Great quiz, I know a little bit more than I thought! 80/100!

Got a 93/100. Got stumped by a couple of the questions. Very good quiz!

92/100. Granted I did guess several I had no idea about. History videos on KZread have certainly been more engaging than 10th grade history back in the 90s.

My comment above was my auto correct. What I meant to say was I got my history knowledge from homeschooling my two kids and I got a score of 92. I’m quite happy with it

I got all 100, although I made educated but lucky guesses to three. Never studied history at university but I have been obsessively interested in the topic since I start reading over 60 years ago. Thanks for the quiz - it was fun.

missed 9. A few lucky guesses. I challenge the one about 1989 birth of internet. I think ARPAnet was military net. in the 70s I was cutting 6 channel paper tape on western union. TWX machine, late 70s computer account sheets and billings on telephone line, with a modem.Late 80s there were Compuserve and BBS, bulletin boards. At least I guessed right, excluding Gates and Paul.

As always, it was a fun game!I did 81/100, I hoped to do better but the 16th and 17th century gave me a hard time. I'll revise them.!

I made an 85. For such the relevance it holds today and the fact it is so little known, I’d ask the question, “what was the name of the meeting that established globalization”?

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

The picture you have for the 1789 French Revolution is actually about the 1830 Revolution. (99 out of 100 - toss up between Hadrian and Trajan)

Got 95 right. Thanks for posting

This was fun. 85/100. Definitely weak on my South American history

Got 66 and I'm majored in science in high school then digital art in college. Feel a bit proud 😅😊

That was fun; thanks!! (I got 9 wrong-sigh). Your pronunciation of Bologna was perfect, by the way.

93 & that's mostly on what I learned in my younger years. I still love history but sadly seem to have so much less time to explore it now. Thanks for the quiz.

I got an 87 which is fitting I think; as this was my average grade of all high school courses over the four year span. I learned a couple facts for example, it was Peter not Paul who was considered the first Pope, and the oldest operating university is Italian not English. Thanks you for this challenging quiz. History has got to be my favorite out of all subjects.😊

I thoroughly enjoyed this long history quiz, thanks.
