You might have noticed that we are introducing a new poll to some of our articles. Following on from this idea, we have decided to now introduce a pop quiz! Every week we will give you a fun quiz to test your brain – and the week later we will tell you the answers.

The subject of this quiz is dates. We will name a historical event and you will have to say when it happened. Here goes:

Question 1: When was Richard II deposed?

• 1425
• 1392
• 1399

Question 2: What was the date of the Russian October Revolution?

• 1917
• 1924
• 1905

Question 3: Did the British Army occupy and burn Washington in…

• 1775
• 1812
• 1814

Question 4: You might have heard of the Hundred Years War, but the French actually invaded Britain first before this. Was it in:

• 1199
• 1217
• 1399

Question 5: Did World War One officially end in 1917, 1918 or 1919?

• 1917
• 1918
• 1919

Thank you for completing this quiz. As the Mog Chronicle only operates in term-time, you can expect the results and another quiz after half term.
Thank you!

of things going on at JKPS including the visit from the first lady of Germany. We are now ready to bring it back, however.

So the answers for the last quiz are:
Question 1: 1399
Question 2: 1917
Question 3: 1814 (this was part of the war of 1812)

Question 5: 1919 (although a ceasefire was signed in 1918, that was not the official
end of the war; that came with the treaty of Versailles in 1919)
