1) World War 1 is known as (and is still referd to as) the Great War for what reason?
a) It was the biggest War ever fought up till that time.
Chinese fought great battles in their time (china had up to 200 million or so people in the middle ages, a feat for that time) but it is more to do so with the global nature of the conflict. Still, in the end I guess it is recorded that most soldiers were involved as well as the most casualties in numbers until that time
2) World War 1 was widely believed to be the first War in which there was extensive use of Mustard gas and other chemical agents… but who used this terrible weapons first?
d) The Germans
3) World Wars 1 and 2 were not the first time the World went to War…
True I would have tended towards the false notion, but what about the mongol invasion of the world or even the crusades though it was less so than the mongol wars since it involved europe and the arabs / turks only.
4) World War 2 was notable for the massive use of Aircraft but which Nation developed the first Jet Plane?
** b) Nazi Germany**
c) Great Britian
The Nazis were the first to put the jet engine to use in their Me-262 jet and rocket powered Me-161, but “history” also is now showing that British also developed the jet engine around the same time.
5) Which of the following is not a World War Two battle?
d) Somme
