You don’t really know much about the 1910s. Well, can’t say we blame you. It WAS a long time ago! However, we hope you learned something as it is important to know about our history!
6/15 too. Worst I have ever done on one of these quizzes. I usually pick up a couple with at least slightly educated guesses. Today every guess was wrong. I’m sure that breaks some mathematical law.
I got 7 out of 15! – 46%
