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.

My birthday?

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.

No, but anyone who knows their history will this answer.

GiMpY-wAnNaBe · 11-03-2003, 10:09 PM

lol....ummm...not sure about the exact date, but would it be the year Amerigo Vespucci discovered America (or if you prefer to be an inaccurate and argumentative, the date Columbus "discovered" america)
