I think that most of your questions are hard, because I have not taken a world history course, but these are my answers and I think you should use them on your class tests.
1. The British wore red because that particular hue is so much more attractive on English complexions.
2. The government gets most income through renting Canada to the Canadians.
3. False
4. You thought you would fool me but you can't! The Schlieffen Plan was not in World War I, it was in World War II and more commonly known as Market Garden.
5. Whitney took my answer, I don't know how she knew what I was going to say, so instead I will tell you how many people died in the even greater war: 200.
6. A pirate treasure map.
7. UTM projection is Uruguay Transcontinental Mailings Projections.
8. A hairy chest is the difference between adolescense and adulthood.
9. I think you spelled MONARCHY wrong and monarchy means royal people who rule a country. (My own definition.)
10. When I was a spartan at emery high we learned this was 12 months.
And these is my words.
Oh Miranda, I love your quizzes. Sometimes they make me feel real smart and the rest of the time, well lets not speak of it.
1.I don't know why the British wore red. All the other answers seem very reasonable. I do know, however the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say. There was a clothing manufacturer in England who had a contract with the British Govt. to supply uniform for the army. He bought a large supply of red wool fabric. Then England lost the Revolutionary War, they didn't need the uniforms and the man, known as Mr. Pink, was stuck with all this fabric. He had his tailors make the fabric into hunting jackets and marketed them as the new thing. All the gentlemen bought them because they were red, just like the army guys, and they were called pinks in honor of the man who sold them. So when you read a Georgette Heyer and there is a reference to "pinks" you will know what is being talked about.
2 Taxes
3 I'm gonna say an increase in population and the growth of cities.
4 A plan for Germany to invade France through Belgium, Holland and Lux.
5 No idea.
6 A globe.
7 Again no Idea.
8 I think it is when kids get the driving permits.
9 A girls very first period.

I think you got all the lovely ideas for your quiz from your world history class, the early years.

This Rachel speaking. I have no Idea about any of these except the very first one. It is because, very simply, Red was the cheapest kind of dye at the time. And Deserters would turn their coats inside out, so people wouldn't see them.
