He wasn't King at the time of the marriage, he had already abdicated. He became the King on 20th Jan 1936 and abdicated on 10th Dec 1936. He married Simpson on 3rd Jun 1937
I got them all right (I'm old) but my results show lots of my responses as being only 50% correct. What's up with that? Did I not capitalize when typing? Did I hesitate? How can one person only get a one-word answer 50% correct?
The right column shows your all-time average (since last reset). 50% means that you got the answer right this time but you had taken the quiz once before and missed it. (or missed twice and got it right once etc)
I had a mental blank with Clark Gable. Could see him, hear him, knew his name started with a G and had 2 minutes with only that to get. Still missed out.
This quiz is about the 1930s in general, including politics and culture. If you want one centered on the Nazis or centered on Hitler or centered on WWII, there are plenty of quizzes, on JetPunk or elsewhere.
Nice quiz, but, what's a Jetpunk quiz without some know-it-all a**hole picking nits in the comments? Allow me.
Mao's leadership of the Chinese Communist Party wasn't settled until the Zunyi conference, halfway through the Long March. Before that, a number of others, especially Zhou Enlai had more control than Mao.
I know it asks for the country and not the war's name but seriously, 'Spanish Civil War' should be allowed lol, I was so confused, trying Russia and even Finland.
I'm usually not one to complain about quizzes being x- or y-centric, but seriously, only two questions outside of NA and Europe (and the answer to one is a European nation anyway)? Three if you count the Great Depression as being worldwide? It feels like there's some pop culture fat that can be trimmed, or maybe a 2nd 1930s quiz could be made, like with the 60s.
His family name was Mao and, unlike Elvis, he was not known by his given name.
