	Really fun! I'm hoping you can make more of these! But I was thinking that maybe you could also do one just for American History and one for British History. I got thrown off by the 250,000 question.

	Good idea, thanks.

	SlowHandEC88:	May 1st, 2011 at 23:51 GMT		8 points
	Nice quiz. For the last question you should change the wording to "Which US state was the first to ratify the Constitution?" A state becomes a state once it ratifies the Constitution, they don't become ratified.

	Thanks for that, i'll make the change ASAP.

	It is funny how the hardest answers for the UK are easy in the US and visa-versa. Clearly, the hardest for me (in the US) were the first Prime Minister and the countries of the Triple Entente. In fact, the rest were pretty easy.

	I would have walked away with $50,000

	You should uncheck the "filter default words" box, because entering a space when the answer is "a" will count it as correct.

	A really brilliant quiz, although I wholeheartedly agree with myb555 that we need different quizzes for both sides of the pond, since there are some here that are much easier for Americans than for Britons and vice versa.

	There were presidents before Washington in the USA under the Articles of Confederation.

	I personally enjoyed it, and glad for the challenge for the UK-centered questions for this quiz. Finally that UK Prime Minister Quiz comes in hand for another one of these quizzes on Sporcle.... You should make a second Volume for this. @Redcobra: True, but you the TRUE United States didn't form until after 1787 and the U.S. Constitution (The Articles of Confederation didn't work out too well; each state had to fend for itself, and there were skirmishes between states on a regular basis). And each state had its own President, so, not many people, no matter if you're American or not, don't even know of any presidents before Washington....

	@redcobra7: There were presidents of the Continental Congress, but not Presidents of the United States, since the office did not exist until the ratification of the Constitution.

	If only it were that easy to win a REAL million quid...

	Great quiz! The only (minor) problem, which I see a lot in these quizzes, is that World War II only began in EUROPE in 1939. Japan and China had been at war for three years already by 1939. Please specify that you mean the war in Europe or the German invasion of Poland.

	redcobra7:	Apr 3rd, 2012 at 23:04 GMT		0 points
	@NaturalStateReb: Yes, there were presidents of the Continental Congress before the ratification of the Articles of Confederation. However, under the Articles of Confederation, there were presidents. Once it was ratified, the presidents were considered the President of the Congress, and were the top executive of the government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_Congress_under_the_Articles_of_Confederation

	Next time, try to be more universal history based, instead of UK/US-centric. You'll find that many people outside of the UK/US, don't know or care who shot Abraham Lincoln or who signed the Magna Carta, who was the first UK Prime-Minister or in what order was the American constitution ratified.

	Colmar:	Jan 9th, 2013 at 22:58 GMT		1 point
	I find it kind of odd that the Triple Entente was a tough question for Americans. Perhaps it's because Canadians were still largely associated with Britain at the time, but I had no trouble with that.

	quite_convincing:	May 14th, 2013 at 14:42 GMT		1 point
	Might be better to say 'Who is regarded as the first UK Prime Minister?' as Prime Minister wasn't an official title until 1905. Wow, Sporcle really brings out the pedant in me!

	Gotta agree with TrumpetPlayer, a shade easy for the last 2 or 3 questions.
