Someone once described military history-themed metal band Sabaton as "a guy yelling Wikipedia articles to music" and.. yeah, admittedly they were kind of right, but it's certainly helped me with remembering the dates when particular wars happened, so thanks for your help with this quiz, Sabaton :')
The Vietnam War for independence started significantly earlier. Despite the fight against the Japanese during World War II, it should probably be dated to 1946, when the war against the French began in earnest. Unless, of course, you want to see that war as a war for independence and what happened subsequently as something different. But that would be wrong.
Great quiz, otherwise, even if I was expecting whammies.
