I got 98/100, but I studied European history and geography in college, and have visited over 100 countries, which is a great way to remember places around the globe! Didn't know Les Bleus and a Chinese dynasty, but some of these questions were ones I had heard before, maybe 10 of them.
My pleasure! Are you the Davy who sent me the questions? If so thank you, I will be using them in an upcoming video and will give you a mention 😁 You should do well on that quiz 🤣
92/100 I learn something new every time I take one of these quizzes! Thanks for all of your hard work writing and presenting your fascinating content on this channel!
Excellent quiz, covering a wide range of years, people and places. My score: 90/100. Thanks for the possible Star Trek answer to the Titanic question. 🙂 Not sure how I missed this when it first came out but glad I found it 2 months later.
80/100 A great quiz, Ben. The music gets me going, the knowledge keeps me coming back for more. Always an exciting quiz. Tysmfs! Have an amazing weekend❣️ 👍😁✌️
Thanks for commenting. Whilst what is referred to as the classic Mayan civilization collapsed long before the Spanish arrived, the Mayans as a people continued and were conquered by the Spanish. There are many historical references to this.
It’s technically true, yes, but it’s a bit of a strange question since usually people refer to the classical Maya states/civilization. It’s a bit like saying that the British conquered and colonized the Assyrians, you know because the UK ruled Iraq after WW1
92 out of 100. It is fun to see how sometimes knowledge concerning the wrong awnsers can help you out. Never heard of that surgery fella, but of course I know who Flemming (penicillin) and Pasteur (pasteurisation) were and I know they weren't known for that discovery.
79/100, good considering im only 15 and in the UK we don't really do world history, so I've relied on general knowledge, stuff I read when I was younger, and guesses
92 (94 with bonus points). I basically failed at a few questions about Africa, which US president signed the act and the sepsis doctor and the teacher of Plato. I'm actually a tiny bit surprised I got so many modern questions (19th and 20th century questions). I'm from Norway and my special interest is ancient and medieval history, as well as Napoleonic, though I am fond of all history. That said because they came with options the quiz was a lot easier than it could have been. Without the options I would have failed a lot more.
99/100 with the options - only missed the last of the Five Good Emperors - and 86/100 without. Don't know the Q9 bonus but I will try 18? Q35 bonus is the Supermarine Spitfire, unless it also had some alphanumeric code assigned to it that I can't think of.
Wow, great result. Yes, he was about 18 when he died, and correct on the Spitfire name. That one would have had a model number, but I don't know it 🤔. Thanks for playing 😁
91/100. Should be 92 but I only know the Boxer Rebellion in chinese. (I'm HKer and we learn chinese history in chinese. How on earth could we know the english name of chinese history events? 🥲)
The leader of the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae was King Leonidas. Here's a story about his legendary stand: In the summer of 480 BCE, the Persian Empire, under the rule of King Xerxes, was on the march, seeking to conquer Greece. The Greek city-states, normally fractured and at odds with one another, united against the common threat. Among them, the Spartans stood as the epitome of martial prowess and unyielding courage. At the forefront of this resistance was King Leonidas of Sparta. A seasoned warrior and a shrewd leader, Leonidas was chosen to lead a small force to the narrow pass of Thermopylae, the "Hot Gates," a strategic chokepoint where the vastly outnumbered Greek forces could hold off the Persian army.
98/100. I got the periodic table and the Shang dynasty questions wrong. I love history quizzes as they're by far my best subject. There was a good mix of questions and periods.
I do not think that you can say that the Spaniards conquered the Mayas because: 1- The Spaniards conquered the Aztecs and surrounding peoples while the Mayas that still existed where elsewhere. 2- The major Mayan empires had collapsed by the time the Spaniards arrived although there were still Mayans scattered in the Yucatan peninsula and Guatemala. 3- There were no wars between the Spaniards and Mayas 4- The Spaniards were mostly unaware of the Mayas while they were in New Spain.
100/100 I am a History prodigy, And Yeah Tutankhamen was 9 When He was King and Was a Teenager When he passed away.I am a History Major For Pit's Sake. Anyway Ben that was something of a Quiz.Tho On The King Tut part Some Sources Say he died at 17 or 19.
Yes, he was was estimated to be about 18/19. And correct on the Supermarine, which for some reason is one of my favourite names for something. It just sounds so impressive 😁. Thanks for commenting and playing

Missed 7 but made a lot of correct guesses, so...
85/100. I loved that you used James Tiberius Kirk as a choice!
Glad you noticed 😃
Great quiz as always Ben - thank you so much! 🙂 I scored 97/100, Tutankhamun was around 18 when he died an the plane is a Supermarine Spitfire.
Oh, perfect. Thanks for checking in 👍😁
Only person that beat me; congratulations 🎉
64/ 100. I am from India and was delighted to see some questions about India.
97/100 but I love History. Should have got bonus points for question 82, knowing Captaian Haddock is from Tintin and Kirk is Star trek.
84/100. History was never my best subject, but didn’t do too badly for an old lady. King Tut was a teenager when he died.
You did great 😁
Great quiz. Tutankhamun was 9 when he became Pharoh and died around 19 when he died.I got 90/100
I got 86/100 correct.I enjoyed your educational quiz.It increases my history knowledge.Thank you and more power to your quiz.
Excellent!
93/100. The supermarine Spitfire, Tutankhamen was 18 nearly 19 when he died.
For a scientific mind I'm pleased with my score.
Excellent
90/100 bonuses 18/19 , super marine spitfire. Great quiz thanks again Ben 👍👍😁🏴
Well done😁
90 out of 100. multiple choices saved me!
92/100. Annoyed about a couple I got wrong! Not thinking fast enough!
Yep, I had the same problem.
Another excellent set of questions, thanks Ben
My pleasure! Are you the Davy who sent me the questions? If so thank you, I will be using them in an upcoming video and will give you a mention 😁 You should do well on that quiz 🤣
@@Quizzes4U Hi Ben. Yes I am. I hope they prove useful.
That was fun. I missed 7 but really enjoyed it.

83/100, though I must say, I guessed about 10 questions and answered many via the process of elimination. “Live long and prosper.” 😂

Happy with 65%
Maya civilization collapsed around 900 BC, many centuries before the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica.
Other than that I enjoyed very much your quiz.
Thanks for commenting. Whilst what is referred to as the classic Mayan civilization collapsed long before the Spanish arrived, the Mayans as a people continued and were conquered by the Spanish. There are many historical references to this.
Though the nation as a nation died out between 800-1000, remnants of the Mayas lasted until 1697.

@@robertloveless4938 The descendants of the Mayas are still there, it is only that their civilizations are long gone.
80/100 was my score today. I don't know the bonuses. I would guess King Tut was a teenager when he passed. Thanks for another great quiz, Ben! ♥
Thanks for playing. He was about 18/19. There is no definite record
@@Quizzes4U 👍

Great quiz Ben! Tutankhamun died at 14... the name of the plane was: Charlie L. Spitfire ;) Cheers!
Thanks for commenting. It was the Supermarine Spitfire 👍😁 Most references say Tut was about 18/19 when he died based on his remains.
@@Quizzes4U Thank you, Ben! Tut's mask looked a bit younger ;) Supermarine is a way cooler name!!! Love your other chanel as well. Cheers!

Yes, the Supermarine, what an awesome name 👍😁
93, tut died at 19, supermarine spitfire
Brilliant 👍
Not good today. 88 scored.
I do not think that you can say that the Spaniards conquered the Mayas because:
1- The Spaniards conquered the Aztecs and surrounding peoples while the Mayas that still existed where elsewhere.
2- The major Mayan empires had collapsed by the time the Spaniards arrived although there were still Mayans scattered in the Yucatan peninsula and Guatemala.
3- There were no wars between the Spaniards and Mayas
4- The Spaniards were mostly unaware of the Mayas while they were in New Spain.
Mayans
