Can you answer these questions?
The five history questions:
1 – Who was the general in charge of the British Army at the battle of Waterloo?(Remember the Abba song) ;)
2 – Who was the reigning monarch when the Spanish Armada attacked Britain?
3 – What was Isambard Kingdom Brunel's profession?
4 – Name one Prime Minister of Britain in the 19th century?(Think Queen Victoria)
5 – In what country was the Boer War of 1899-1902 fought?
This was given to 18 year old U.K. students. Click here for answers. We(in the U.S.) should know them too with the exception of #3.
About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

aack! I'm learning so much home schooling. We'll get to this era NEXT school year. For now, we're gearing up to cover the middle ages and early exploration in the months to come.
I can't wait to continue through this learning with my kids and finally know what I should have known when I graduated from high school!
Thank goodness I got them all right! {g}
