Isn’t it Queen Isabella who funded Columbus’ voyage? Spain must have been united before that voyage

@Raffles Correct. The Reconquista is generally considered to have culminated with the capture of Grenada by Ferdinand and Isabella on January 2, 1492.

Isabella then agreed to fund Columbus' voyage about 3 months later, in April 1492 (with him setting off on August 3).

Cool quiz!

Just one thing: it's Azincourt with a Z. :-)

I don't think so...at least, not in English. From Wikipedia:

"Azincourt (French pronunciation: ​[azɛ̃kuʁ]; historically, Agincourt /ˈæʒɪnkʊr/ in English) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.

The Battle of Agincourt (1415) took place nearby."

I've never heard the battle referred to as "Azincourt".

God the dates for Abraham Lincoln and a few like this are so close together that it's pure guesswork if you've not been brought up on the history of USA...

I knew it because I knew that a motivator for the confederation of Canada was that the Yankee army was seen as a real threat since they had just won the revolutionary war.

There's really only a couple non-American or European history questions, maybe add a couple more to balance it out?

There's no point in adding questions no one would get.

Some that I would get off the top of my head... Israel declares independence, Six-Day War, Yom Kippur War, Egyptian independence, Indian independence, Alexander dies, Muhammad makes Hijra to Medina, Uthman seizes Jerusalem, Brazilian independence, Nintendo launches the Famicon, Hong Kong ceded to China, Suez Canal opens, Panama breaks away, Christmas tsunami, Fukushima disaster, Turks seize Constantinople, various Bronze Age civilizations collapse, or maybe Jesus is born (December 25th, 0 AD, of course)

From senate.gov:

Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government.
