The big World History Quiz!!

Canyarion · 11-03-2003, 06:45 AM

Ok here's the deal:
1 person asks a question about world history, the person that answers it gets to ask the next question.

Please keep ik easy and don't be too specific.

I'll start:
When did the Berlin Wall come down?
Hope that isn't too hard... if you don't know it, listen to Michael Jacksons 'HIStory'.

I think it was 1984. Or maybe it was 1988. I'm pretty sure it was a date when either myself or my brother was born.

Since I just gave two answers, don't count either as correct. Wait for someone else to answer and give him the credit. I'm just throwing these out for fun.

1989. Not sure of the exact date but I'm sure it was three years before the Soviet union collapsed.

I dont know, that is a very vague question. Im going to have to say Christmas Day, because most of Western Civilization is Christain, and almost everyone celebrates Christmas.

Crono was supposed to ask the second question since he was the first to get it correct. This whole game is already completley messed up.

I guess Angrist's rules need to be "bolded" by a moderator.

Actually, didnt Leif Ericson discover North America? I mean, if you're not counting the Native Americans, then Leif Ericson was first.

Amerigo Vespucci was who it was named for, but I dont think he was the first person here. I believe he was the one who proposed that North America existed, or something like that.

eric the red was Leaf Ericson's father, and it was GOING to be Eric The Red's discovery, but he died the day before they were scheduled to leave, so it was leaf Ericson's discovery, and thanx Vampyr for reminding me, i forgot about the vikings....silly vikings

as for Strangler

Thats right, everyone just act like they don't know what I'm talking about. I was young once too. I know how it is.

Bond · 11-04-2003, 09:25 PM

How the hell is your avatar that big Gimpy... argh...

Canyarion · 11-05-2003, 06:48 AM

Argh!

Chrono was supposed to ask the next question...
Stonecutter shouldn't have given the answer to his own question... Oh well.

What day did the Alliance pronounce war against Germany?
