I see that now. I did a search before I made this one, but obviously missed yours. If QM features a quiz, he uses the one that was created first, so that would be yours.

thanks for the response, there have been a lot

of doubled-up quizzes coming from the new format releasing, so this isn’t really that serious compared to others, but the ideas in this quiz are genuinely nice. surprised that the toledo war got the lowest percentage correct.

I feel like Spice Wars is a bit difficult given that there are wars that have been dubbed "the Spice War" or "the Spice Wars". The Dutch-Portuguese war is often called the Spice War.

Solid point, especially since that was the one that tripped up the most people. I have now replaced it. Thanks
