Lisbon, Meiji & World History Events

Ten questions trace history through disasters, political change, war and the dating of major events. You'll encounter the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the adoption of a new calendar, the Meiji Restoration, Haiti's independence era, the Titanic and nuclear-weapons history. An ancient Roman battle, Spanish heraldry and the North American video-game crash broaden the scope. Pay attention to dates and wording when a question asks about the beginning of an event rather than its later consequences.
