Which important battle took place in 1066?
Quiz Writer
Joselyn wasn’t too keen on multiple choice in high school. She vividly remembers the first biology exam she passed by only the skin of her teeth, which dragged her overall average down into the embarrassingly low 90s (she doesn’t want to talk about it). After swearing off any high school or university courses that required multiple choice tests, Joselyn managed to get an English degree by sweet-talking her professors into offering only essay-style exams. Needless to say, this did not exactly endear her to her peers. This rocky start smoothed out in time, though, and after tumbling down a black quiz hole one day while putting off job hunting, Joselyn realized her hatred of all things a-b-or-c had faded and she actually enjoyed dreaming up new ideas for questions and dangerously correct-sounding answers. You won’t find her quizzes an easy ride, but Joselyn just wants to make sure you’re really testing your knowledge.
Did you know?
The Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence in 1707 with the political union of England and Scotland.
Though Scotland had already been under a shared crown with England, the two kingdoms formalized their arrangement under the Acts of Union. Ireland also formally joined Great Britain in 1800. The Republic of Ireland gained independence in 1922, but six counties in Northern Ireland remained part of Britain. Though tensions have simmered significantly in the last decades, there are still occasional voices for independence, as the vote for Scottish independence in 2014.
Said Winston Churchill of history: “History, with its flickering lamp, stumbles along the trail of the past, trying the reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days.
