I would gladly agree, still "by birth" is not really useful (and it is, imo, a bit misleading). The simple fact of asking the question (and giving the answer) would be enough. But I'm probably pedantic, because I'm passionate about the Roman civilization.
Maybe I had been a bit sharp back then. What I meant, I think, is that he never changed his first name as the emperors often did after him. He always was "Gaius Julius Caesar".
Indeed, Gaul is "Gallia" in Latin, but this quiz is in English - would you say that the UK's capital is called Londinium, of France's Lutetia Parisiorum? (:
When the Australian soldiers landed at Gallipoli, they were slaughtered. I don't know if that day was the worst day of WWI for the British, but it certainly was for the Australians.
Please edit this question to include the Australians in your question, as it is borderline offensive to not acknowledge one of the worst days for Australians in our limited (white) history.
I think Quizmaster put British disaster because it was the incompetent decisions made by British military which resulted in the terribly large numbers of needless deaths of Australian and New Zealand soldiers at Gallipoli. Gallipoli is a place of pilgrimage for many Australians and New Zealanders. I have been there, and it is very moving. And the Turkish people are very hospitable.
Agree, they even named ANZAC Cove after it. Would love to visit one day. Also met some Gurkha when they came to an ANZAC Dawn Parade ceremony - lovely guys (but wouldn't want to pick a fight with them, esp in full uniform!)
Indeed it was a terrible result for all involved. I am from Lancashire in UK and the County suffered terribly at Gallipoli, whole towns and villages lost their young men. For interest the casualties at Gallipoli were as follows: GB & Ireland: 21,255 Killed Total Cas. 73,485......... Australia: 8.709 Killed Total Cas. 28,150. New Zealand: 2,779 Killed Total Cas. 7,991.
The worst single day for Britain in World War I is generally considered to have been the first day of the Somme Offensive on July 1, 1916. The British Expeditionary Force suffered some 57,000 casualties for negligible gains. This was only the first day of an offensive that lasted into November and cost the BEF an estimated 456,000 casualties.
Gurkhas are also a part of the Indian Army and you shouldn't regard Gandhi as the one who led India to independence but instead you should use one of many.
I would like to thank all the history YouTubers for teaching me about the Ghibellines and the Guelphs. If you're unfamiliar, you should totally check out Oversimplified's video on the War of the Bucket, which is a historical event just as ridiculous as it sounds.
Also, I would've never guessed Che Guevara was Argentinian, I only knew him from the Cuban revolution.
I don't think that many people would benefit from accepting "Ernesto Guevara" since he ist most commonly known as "Che Guevara".
Most likely anyone who knows his real name would as well get the idea to try just "Guevara", since the first letter G is the topic of this quiz.
