About This Quiz
It's hard to believe that wars, rebellions and revolutions that mean life or death for one generation can be largely forgotten half a century later. Even major conflicts that took millions of lives and changed borders, cultures and traditions may quickly become nothing more than an unfamiliar phrase in the history books. Even worse, there are wars and conflicts taking place on this very day somewhere in the world, and a shocking number of people either know nothing about them or know nothing more than a few key facts from the evening news. Yes, you've heard of Darfur, Kashmir and other war-torn places, but could you point out these spots on a map, or even match them to the correct country?
What about the wars of the past, where the bodies have been buried, the dust has settled and the victors have written their stories? You may know that Paul Revere took a midnight ride, but do you know the foreign power he was warning his neighbors about? Can you remember where the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion took place during the Kennedy Administration, which country was invaded during the Gulf War or who fought the UK for control of the Falkland Islands in the '80s? You might not remember all the details of these conflicts, but can you match each to the correct country? Prove it with this quiz.
