I realised after I made this quiz that Kalbahamut had already covered it, and that I’d used several of his answers, so full credit to Kal where it’s due. Even though QM nicked Zimbabwe for the 14th Century, perhaps he could combine the best of both these quizzes to extend the series?

One of the best A-Z quizzes I've seen on here! Great topic, great mix of easier and more difficult questions, and great geographic diversity. Deserves to be featured imo!

Very nice quiz, save perhaps for the "R" question. Isn't it a little too local/obscure?

No more obscure than Appomattox Court House - it’s usually taught as a factoid

St Francis of Assisi was never a monk - he was a friar.
