I only missed the first question. As an older Canadian, British history was taught in school. Good quiz though, had to think on a couple

The original name of the tower which holds Big Ben was Clock Tower.

Some of these questions are incorrectly worded and ambiguous. For example, 'Who was British PM during WW2?'. The answer is given as Churchill, yes, but the first 8 months of the war were fought under Neville Chamberlain as PM. Also, 'Who was the British monarch when the United Kingdom was formed?', the answer is given as George III, ambiguous as the United Kingdom of Great Britain was established under Queen Anne in 1707, it was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland that was created by the 1801 Irish Act of Union under George III.

And the tower is now of course Elizabeth tower

Actually all three were PM during the war as Clement Attlee became Prime minister in July 1945 but WWII didn't end until August '45. Also Q10 is wrong as both Liverpool & London were heavily bombed during the war.

[@chriscrew6541]

Yes, of course, I agree, you are quite correct.

[@paull-tx4uu]

Clement Attlee was also prime minister during ww2 as we were still at war with Japan when Labour won the general election in 1945

[@chriscrew6541]

@@paull-tx4uu Absolutely, my error, but someone beat you to it!

20/20 it would be embarrassing for a Brit not to know this stuff. Please note Big Ben is the bell! The tower has never been correctly named other than Westminster Tower, now named after her late Majesty. 🇬🇧👍

As the Treaty of the Union, which created the United Kingdom was signed in 1706 the correct answer to 1 is Queen Anne.
