18/20,this is an excellent quiz,I benefit from being old,and learned some new information and that’s what matters most. Thank you for your research & sharing your work!🍀

[@quiznook]

Great score! I'm glad you found it enjoyable and informative. And you are most welcome my friend, it is my pleasure to make these :) Thank you muchly for your comment 🍁

17 outof 20.Good quiz.See in a quiz you know the answer or not.Time between questions could be shortened.

[@arthurjarrett1604]

Yep. A little irritating...

[@TheTriplelman]

Good to see someone being honest at their score good for you so many people lie

I hit playback to the highest possible, it was more like a quiz. 19 not bad but I had no idea about the pakistaní president.

Missed 4 or 5. Very good quiz with some challenging questions.

[@jeffmixon4988]

I got 15 right. Quizzes on KZbin are usually simple. This one was tough!

[@brucegately831]

Yes, it was a really good test of general knowledge !

[@pepoppins]

Missed two. Love the learning. Thank you! :D

[@quiznook]

Erratum: Question 15: While the given answer has the "longest military neutrality policy" of the four provided choices, it does NOT have the longest one in the world; the country with the longest neutrality policy is SWEDEN, which declared its neutrality in 1814, one year earlier than the given answer :) So the given answer would still stand true only in relation to the three other choices :)

[@frankmaeder4358]

Erratum 2: While Sweden DECLARED its neutrality in 1814, Switzerland DECLARED its own one in 1515, after losing in the battle of Marignano. In 1815, it was merely acknowledged by the members of the Vienna Congress. that makes the answer given completely correct again.

[@quiznook]

Plot twist!! Thanks for the interesting info. Okay here's what I got: European countries recognized Switzerland's neutrality back in 1648 under the Peace of Westphalia. However, in 1798 and the following years, Switzerland was invaded by the French, then by the Russian and Austrian. In 1815, the Congress of Vienna fully re-established Swiss independence and the European powers agreed to permanently recognize Swiss neutrality. So... it was Switzerland, then Sweden, then Switzerland again! This is getting tricky. In conclusion, next time I'll know to be wiser and just not use the terms "most ... in the world" 😂

[@frankmaeder4358]

@@quiznook Chapeau! very well researched! I forgot the peace of Westphalia, but you are even more correct than me, great work!

17/20. I mixed up North and South Pole and have actually visited the North Pole. I love history and geography. A Reg Nurse for profession. Have traveled a good bit. Retired. I read a lot before my eyes got bad. I do learn lots of interesting things watching KZbin. Enjoyed the quiz. I learned a lot in my life just being interested in everything. I just don't get people not wanting to know.

[@aspenrebel]

Yeah I said North Pole too. Furthest. North I've been is Edinburgh, Scotland I guess. East:. Zell Am See, Austria. South: Southern Most Point in USA at South end of Key West , Florida. West:. I'd have to check map but somewhere there in Los Angeles, California. Don't think went to beach and ocean until south of LA. But I think the coast cuts in Eastward. Did not go to Malibu.

[@bcaye]

How coincidental. I am an RT, not quite yet retired. I've always been a reader and love history and travel. I am infamous for immediately googling anything I happen upon that I don't know.

Missed 2. I'm learning one thing from taking these quizzes...I have TONS of fairly useless information. I'm ready for Jeopardy, if they ever call 😄.

[@willmpet]

My brother has an M.D. and a J.D. and a fantastic memory but would never go on Jeopardy, neither would I though my memory is quite good!

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

@@willmpet most of Jeopardy isn't even post graduate college information. A lot of it is stuff people forgot since high-school. I think I'd do decently on Jeopardy, because I homeschooled our girl, and had to teach her all that stuff typically forgotten after we graduate. Also, curriculums these days for middle and high school often involve stuff I didn't see until well into high-school or college (and in the case of middle school science electrical circuits) the military. I got a great refresher of the information typically forgotten after high-school and college.

[@Aquaman1054]

19 of 20! I blew it on question 16. I was going to bring up Sweden establishing its' neutrality prior to Switzerland, but others have already done so. A fine quiz. Thank you.

[@octaviovourvoulias3188]

18/20! Was convinced that Costa Rica had had the longest neutrality record instead of Switzerland bc they abolished their army a while ago, but I had no Idea the Swiss hadn't gotten involved in a war since 1815, damn! Then the last question, I had no idea about the Miracle On the Han River so I guessed China bc Han Dynasty and all that. Pls keep these coming, I love history!

19/20. Tripped up by the pre-history question. Enjoyable quiz

[@tealeaf56]

I got it right but the answer should have been beer. Without beer, there is no such thing as civilization (which separates pre-history from history). Let's face it, the only reason ancient peoples learned to write was to get down on papyrus/rice paper/wood blocks/stone tablets/whatever the recipe for beer.

The Allied Forces in WWII did not include France. France was not even in the war. It included Canada, which was in the war for over 2 years before the U.S. got involved. The main allied forces in order of participation were G.B., Canada, U.S., and Russia played a large part, but mostly at the end of the war.
