	Shouldn't the clue for A be "English" and not "British"? I think that in 1415 England and Scotland were separate kingdoms.

	Valid point - I'll change it.

	The Americans technically did not defeat the British at Bunker Hill, the Americans retreated and the British took the hill, but at such a high cost it was an American propaganda victory. The same can be said for the Battle of Jutland. It was an indecisive battle, and no navy emerged the victor, it was just the consequences following the battle that were favourable to the English

	Great quiz! One small thing -- you've misspelled Thermopylae.

	SOAR21:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT		1 point
	I agree with Bunker Hill. They lost the position. Jutland, however. Even though the battle turned out fairly even, the Royal Navy was such a powerful force that the losses affected the British less. The Germans, however, lost all ability to seriously challenge the Allied navies again. Kind of the same way the Russians won the war on the Eastern Front. They were better able to take losses.

	Thanks for catching the typo. I agree with Bunker Hill as well. I'll change it, I'm just trying to keep the clues as simple as possible.

	Please accept "Incheon" as well; it's how the city is spelled today.

	In the C clue you spell it "Carthaginians," but in the Z clue you spell it "CarthEginians".....

Comment below threshold: show it

	Great quiz, but I think you have an extra slash at the end of your Bunker Hill answer... I got it by just typing "the" (when I was answering Thermopylae).

Great quiz - although the large amount War of Independence battles are a little obscure for most people outside of the US - smallish conflict. Could you accept azincourt for agincourt?

	If you're still looking for possible U battles, the battle of Uhud with Muhammad or the Battle of Ulundi in the Zulu War would both be good possiblities...although I don't know if they are easy enough. All of the X battles are Chinese, which might make them not fall under the "easy" category, although that might be the same for the U battles, too. Although if the quiz taker knows that the Zulu capital was Ulundi, they could probably guess it.

	I felt they were too obscure - I have a battles a-z (hard) quiz that have "x" and "u" and even on that quiz they are two of the least guessed answers.

	Azrael:	Apr 15th, 2011 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	I see what you mean-I took that quiz, and despite just looking up the name of the Chinese battle for X, I still missed it, and could only manage to get 10. Great quizzes, though! I think that the level difficulty is very well done.

	@jonnywardy: Honest question here ... what is the "War of Independence"? Is that what Brits call the Revolutionary War? I assume you're referring to the war the new United States (with help from France) fought against England.

	@jonnywardy: Smallish conflict!? You aren't seriously still in denial about that are you? I mean really that is as far from smallish as possible

	windyhead:	May 5th, 2011 at 11:41 GMT		2 points
	i liked this and gave it 5/5 but i would go further than earlier comments about Jutland - The RN lost almost twice as much tonnage (over 100,000 I believe) as the German Fleet (and I think more than double lives were lost, though I concede that this isnt really how naval conflicts are measured)

	Scout Number 4 thanks you for using Midway for the letter M

	@wolfeman: Can you add a "Letters" tag to this quiz? I'm not sure if any one else has made it a curator's pick in their subcategories, but its a good new use of the A-Z format so I'd like to.

	wolfeman:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:16 GMT		1 point
	"Letters" wasn't an available tag, but "letter" was. I added that one and suggested "Letters."
