People will give joke answers when there’s nothing on the line. Pay for correct answers, and watch the accuracy rate go up.

I wonder how much our own people know about our history.
How many people think Battle of the Bulge refers to people gaining weight in middle age?
How many people think the biggest atrocity of World War II was the internment of Japanese and Japanese-Americans in this country?
How many people know all about Stonewall, but nothing of Gettysburg or Ft. Sumter?
How many people know nothing of Jimmy Doolittle and his raid on Tokyo??

The Napoleonic Wars is one of my favorite historical subjects. I wonder if the French in general know more about Waterloo than the Brits.

You have to remember the British panic when they received the first two words of the outcome of the British shellacing of Napoleon at Waterloo,
“Wellington defeated...”

Amazing.
My Waterloo ancestor must be spinning in his (winning side) grave.

Perhaps they should make a Waterloo branded gin or vodka.

When asked what came to mind when Waterloo was mentioned, 54 percent of people aged 18 to 24 said the London railway station named after the battle, while 46 percent cited the Eurovision-winning song by Swedish pop group ABBA. How about Stonewall Jackson's 1959 hit, Waterloo? There's also an English version by the Mudlarks, from the same year. The young Britishers ought to listen to this song, because it describes what happened at the Battle of Waterloo (in Stonewall Jackson's version, Napoleon lost his pants; in the Mudlarks' version, he lost his chance).

Few (younger) Americans have any idea about the American Revolution either.

The good and the bad of English history is that there is so much of it and it is all very well documented.
