Difficult Historical Quiz


Recommended Posts

For celebrating my return from break, I decided to make little quiz, and quite difficult one:

1) Name two democratically ruled states who fought against each others in World War II?

2) What Balkan country has been ruled short time by Finnish Military Dictator?

3) Shortest War in World History and how long it lasted?

4) Longest Ruling Dynasty in World History?

5) What Malaysian area was ruled by White Rajahs?

a heritage for our beloved fatherland* :,:

1) Yes, it is correct. Both countries were democracies and they were not occupied during the war and neither after war.

 

4) Not Indian and answer is quite near of You. ;)

 

5) Sarawak is correct. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rajahs

Hehe, so glad we finally managed to resolve your fantastic historical quiz, Lord! :D

 

By the way, since I'm keen on history just as you are (or at least used to be, no time left for books recently :(), need to notice that there isn't yet a total agreement among the historical society about the Dulo clan. Even among the Bulgarian historians there's a dissension about this fact. ;) But one way or another, my beautiful country has one of the greatest historical heritage in the whole world and I'm extremely proud of it. 

 

Looking forward for for your next portion of questions, mate. :)

Yes, many sources put Japanese current Dynasty to longest ruling dynasty but also I have read from many sources that Clan Dulo was longest. :) Some sources mentions that it continued also to House of Arpad in Hungary.

Next questions will come soon. :)
