call me retarded but I wouldn't have know the answer either. When I see content like this I always try to provide the answer in advance, but I was thinking of 1918(that's the end of the war).

I don't know, I always tend to memorize the entire backstory but I always forget exact dates. Like I only remember 1939 being the invasion of Poland, 1858 being the release of the origin of species but the rest is just "roughly"

I'm with you ... I guessed about 80-90 years ago; but I have a horrible memory and am terrible with dates.

I'm happy to know that I was *relatively* close

1914 broski. For some reason all that stuff stuck with me because it was like an epiphany moment learning about how war can break out on a global scale due a gradual build up of tension. I always imagined one crazy man with a big red war button.

Yes that ok, to get it wrong a few years, but beeing off a hole century is quite a lot.

#4 to #2 - muffinssnuffims (05/22/2015) [-]

Ya, but you'd know it wasn't 10 years.

Also, this was during the 100 year anniversary so it would've been easier to have known about because it would've come up in facebook feeds and the like a lot more.

It was the 100 year anniversary, so 1914

there's a massive ******* difference between answering "1918" and "2004" though. you'd definitely fair off better than her.

I'd bet less than 50% of Americans would get this right, if asked on stage, in front of a million people.

if you think thats stupid get this.

When i went to school we had some lessons about World war 2, we were mostly 16-17 years old. We watched some pictures over the projector. There was this one supid hoe, she giggled when a picture of a naked holocaust survivor showed up because you could see his pee wee.

But the ******* stupids thing she did when a Picture of ~~Der Führer~~ Adolf Hitler was shown and she asked who "that guy" is. Seriously, even if you don't give a **** about history you should atleast know some important things.

There was a world war 1, a guy called Hitler started World War 2 wich wasn't a nice thing to do, some peopel died, hitler didn't liked juice, he also didn't liked Jews.

Russia and Usa had a cold war, it was realy frosty so they didn't real fighted against each other but told other country to fight for them.

Yea, my grammar and english isn't very good.

**gigabowzer used "*roll picture*"**
**gigabowzer rolled image** I couldn't give an precise answer, but I would probably say between 1900-1940.

I'm not a historian, but I can give estimates.
