2. First Dynasty to unify China.
3. Byzantine Emperors.
4. Julius Caesar started the conquest of Britain, but Claudius was the Emperor that brought it under Roman rule.

Australian education/10

This thread convinced me in my belief that most of this board are uneducated /pol/tard tier fucks.

Here are the correct answers (as they would suffice)

>1. Who was Sargon the First?
Founder of the Akkadian empire, first centralized state in the world (and most people know him only because of youtuber god fucking damnit...)
>2. Why was Qin dynasty so important?
United all of China, gave it its name
>3. Who were the Diadochos?
Successors of Alexander the Great
>4. Which Roman emperor conquered Britain/Started the conquest of Britain?
Claudius, but Julius would also be acceptable answer
>5. Who was bearer of education in Europe during Medieval age?
Clergy
>6. Sacking of Baghdad. When? Who? Why is it important?
13th century, Mongols x Arabs, marked the beginning of decline of Muslim world
>7. What were the religious results of the Peace of Westphalia?
Ruler decides the religion of his subjects. (Which put religion on the second spot, eventually causing enlightement and all the technological progress we enjoy today)
>8. Battle of Plassey. When (During which war)? Who? Why is it important?
During 7 years war, Brits x Bengalis (supported by French), marked the beginning of British conquest of India
>9. Who was the liberator of New Granada from the Spanish?
Simon Bolivar
>10. Who was Stalin's main rival in the inner fight for power after Lenin's death?
Trotsky

1. Atheist Youtuber. Destroys SJWs
2. Made noodles???
3. Spanish pop group
4. George Washington
5. Bears weren't educated back then.
6. 2003, George Bush. Killed Hussein.
7.kicked the mudslimes out of europe. DEUS VULT
8. idk. did it happen in ww2?
9. Granola bars were banned in spain? wtf
10. After lenin died the beatles broke up. its a trick question.

I got 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 right by this metric, yet I only get a 3/10

7,5/10 because i don't know if you meant 7. the right way

I can do a new set, but i'm not getting a trip

Which one are you?
Sometimes the issue with a question is that i want a specific answer, while you give a vague one. With Sargon i wanted to hear he was the founder of first centralized state in the world, which is kind of a big deal. If you just say he was ruler from Akkad or Mesopotamian king, i don't consider that sufficient.

4/10

10/10 you belong on Cambridge

4. Is half correct.
5. Is correct

>I can do a new set,
Yes please
Get a trip like "OP", for recognition purposes only

Wasn't Caligula the first one to try to conquer Britain? If I remember correctly, his troops refused to go through witb it because they thought there was nothing up there and they would fall off the world.

Give me half correct on question 1 and we have a deal, cunt

New test as well pls

1. Sargon of Akkad, Akkadian Emperor, first ruler of first unified state in Mesopotamia
2. First dynasty to unify China
3. Aleksander the Great's generals which had parts of his empire split between them
4. Technically Julius started. Not sure which one finished what he has started
5. Monks, mostly.

9. Bolivar, I suppose. Mostly because I don't remember anyone else famous for doing something important around that time in there
10. Lev Trotsky. Creator of Red Army. Killed many years later with ice axe in Mexico.

I am making it up now

Nah, Julius was the first one to try but he kind of failed. Caligula said he wants to do it, but when his army reached LaManche he ordered his troops to stab the sea.

My brain won't let me accept is as answer since you only got it because of a fucking youtuber.

>Caligula said he wants to do it, but when his army reached LaManche he ordered his troops to stab the sea.
Sounds like something Caligula would order his soldiers to do.

>Julius was the first one to try but he kind of failed.
Well, his second expedition did set up a puppet king that paid Rome a tribute.
So technically were the one to start it.

Okay, second round.
Its kind of hard to make up questions that would cover all of the world, whole of the history and would fit the general overview level of education. so sorry if some of them are too hard/too easy.

1. Who were Pheonicians?
2. What was Hallstatt culture?
3. What was the name of two nations that founded Rome/lived in the area where it was founded?

4. What is a march? (In Frankish empire)
5. Battle of Bouvines. Which war? What did it mark?
6. Which lands did Charles V. Habsbourg control?
7. What was the Kalmar union?
8. What was the Northern War, and what was the result?
9. What was Monroe Doctrine?
10. Where was Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed?

So history is all battles and wars?
Fucking retarded

China was untied by them

2- Iron age celtic culture in central Europe

1.) King of ancient Iraq
2.) oversaw disintegration of China?
3.) Fucked if I know
4.) Claudius
5.) Fucked if I know
6.) Mongols, 13th century, signaled the end of the """Islamic golden age""", although that had been dead for some time. .Set the stage for the Ottomans to swoop in a few centuries later
7.) Religious toleration in Western Europe, and an end to the Charlemagne attempts to unite Europe under one single faith or government in the feudal sense
8.) 1757 (I think), during the seven years war, involving the British and their Indian allies vs the French and their Indian allies. Resulted in the British steamrolling the French and essentially securing their Indian empire.
9.) Bolivar
10.) Trotsky

>Who were Pheonicians?
The original sea Jews. Traded and colonized before the Greeks made it cool. They spread the Semitic script, which was really important in the development of the Greek alphabet. Evolved into Carthage which evolved into salt.
> What was Hallstatt culture?
It was a neolithic culture (bronze age, I think). I think they burned their dead and stored the ashes into urns. Don't remember much about them, though.
>What was the name of two nations that founded Rome/lived in the area where it was founded?
Numeria and Alba Longa.
>Where is Yellow river? (Just nowadays state in which it lies)
Yangtze? China.

Border regions ruled by markgrafs.

Sounds awfully familiar, but I can't recall.
>Which lands did Charles V. Habsbourg control?
A fucking lot of them, I'll say. The HRE (along with the usual Habsburg lands) but with Spain added.
>What was the Kalmar union?
A lost dream. The personal union of the kingoms of Sweden, Norway and Denmark under the king of Denmark.
>What was the Northern War, and what was the result?
The war between the Swedish Empire (lol, remember those days?) and the Russian Empire in the 18th century. Peter mopped the floor with Charles (well, logistics, resource and manpower shortage did, at least), and then most of Charles's army froze on the way back. Sweden lost Finland and its dignity.
>What was Monroe Doctrine?
An American foreign policy doctrine. I think this one was isolationism, but not sure.
>Where was Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed?
Not sure. Money's on Bruxellelsprout, though.

I know 6 of them. I spent my time focusing on a particular point in history. Ancient history in particular means little to me. I studied mostly 20th century history. Here's 10 questions that are more pertinent to the world we live in today.

1. Who was Mossadegh?
2. What were SALT I and SALT II?
3. What year did the Berlin Wall fall?
4. Who was Omar Torrijos?
5. What happened at Dien Bien Phu?
6. What is the significance of Jallianwala Bagh (Amritsar)?
7. What was the fate of Apollo 1?
8. Name 12 former Soviet Republics.
9. What was the Battle of Algiers?
10. Who was the creator and founder of Veeky Forums?

I never even heard most of those
At best i could guess 3, 7, 8 and 10

Ancient Iraq I accept, but with Westphalia and Charlemagne I meant the idea that Europe could be governed by one empire with one religion, with Charlemagne being the last one to have a shot at it. Should probably have worded that answer better,

I know Caligula planned an "invasion" of Britain, but didn't he just sorta end up yelling at the Channel?

1)
2)
3) 1989
4)
5)
6)
7)
8) latvia lithuania estonia belarus ukraine kazakstan turkmenistan tajikstan kyrgizstan armenia georgia azerbajan
9) the battle where rebels killed ghedaffi
10) Moot aka Chris something

3/10, now you are definitely american

Lol'd. Yeah, that makes way more sense

Yep. First one to attempt was Julius but Claudius was the one who actually managed to do it.

I was thinking about making 3rd round, should i?

2. S(tate?) Atomic Limitations Treaty, obviously US and Soviet. First was in 78 or so, right?

Was Dien Bien Phu the massacre of Vietnamese by American soldiers?

Do it

Strategic Arms Limitations Talk. First was in the late 60's.

Dien Bien Phu was the final battle of the French war in Indochina. French were completely humiliated. There were serious discussions about using nuclear weapons.

>Yangtze
I realize it's really easy to conflate Yellow with Yangtze because they have the same Y. But the Yellow River is the Huang He.

I think those question are too specific for a generic Veeky Forumstorician to know anything. I mean, i never even heard about half of those.

Okay, i still got an hour of free time left.

That's a bit surprising. They all occurred within the last 100 years and most of them explain a lot about the world we live in today. Read up!

But its about people not knowing the names. Everybody knows the results of SALT but not much people know the name. I'm just saying you should adjust the questions to the people here.

Mea culpa. Thanks for that.

2.) -

3.) Justinian, and his general Belisarius

4.) -

5.) Sicily, Southern tip of Italy?

6.) Hapsburgs

8.) France, Britain, and Sardinian + the Ottomans vs Russia. Russia lost militarily.

9.) -insert German name here-

10. Given that there has been couple dozen "Black Fridays" over the years one could give any number of answers to this question and still be correct.

Prussia was kind of included, Bosnia wasn't.
