Hi,
I got 36 of 40, but I guessed on a lot of them. I guess I was just lucky today
27/40
I guess watching Drunk History pays off.
35 out of 40. Some guesses and some elimination. I missed Spruace too, and guessed Sitting Bull when the correct answer was Geronimo. The other three I had no friggin' clue.
And gee, the hardest part was the sheer number of ads. I thought my browser was going to lock up.

I wonder how accurate the portraits are of some of those early leaders, like the Greeks and Romans. It is okay when they reveal something about the person so you do not need to go by likeness alone.

Such quizzes are not a gift, they are put up for a reason.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
"Yamamoto was a Japanese Marshall Admiral of the Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet during World War II. He was responsible for most of the major battles during the war, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."
I think that's a little imprecise, or inaccurate to say. He was responsible for the Pearl Harbor attack, and Midway, and I guess he bears responsibility for the IJN's actions in support of the Solomons campaign. But there was still a lot of action after that. I'd say rather, "...battles in the first two years of the war..."
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
"Maurice de Saxe first served in the German army, the Army of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Imperial Army before joining French forces."
That is incorrect. There was no "German army" in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, because there was no Germany. Germany was a geographic definition, not a state, until 1871.
I got 38 out of 40. I missed Lt. Col. Moore, and Marshal Massena.
GreySnake 36/40 Guess that's why history was always my best subject in school.
I've always loved history. It started when I was a little kid, and I heard my uncles and great-uncles tell stories about their time in World War II. I've always been a voracious reader, too; I read every book the school library had, and the public library, and learned more. And that drove my interest in building models. I was never that interested in cars-I wanted to build the ships, the tanks, the planes, that I read about.
As I got older, I got interested in other time periods, too.
The old sayings about learning from history, or failing to learn from it, are true. Not only at the global level, but even at the level of our individual lives, there are things we can learn from what happened in the past, decisions people made.

I have to admit that one of the ones I missed for an ancient leader (I won't say which since others may not have taken the quiz yet) I missed in part because I thought "well that picture doesn't look anything like what "I thought" that ruler looked like, so its probably some other guy".
I guess my perception of ancient times is probably somewhat messed up by thinking all old rulers either looked like Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, or some other similar famous British Actor, since that seems to be who always played them in the movies
I got 28 correct. Missed a couple that I should've known.

Build one at a time? Hah! That'll be the day!!
only 33 correct.... some I should've known but missed for no good reason. Perhaps I am getting ADD in my old age, hey! squirrel!!....
The next quiz was guessing what decade based on a single photo, I got 38 out of 40 correct. All were in the 20th century stemming from the 20's to the 80's.
