World War II lasted six brutal years, claimed more than 70 million lives, and changed the course of humanity forever. It introduced the world to blitzkrieg, genocide on an industrial scale, atomic weapons, and the United Nations. Most of us spent weeks on it in school, watched the documentaries, and swore we’d never forget. Yet somehow the details fade. This quiz isn’t designed to trick PhD historians—it’s 40 fair, core-knowledge questions that any reasonably educated adult should get at least 32 right. Below 60 %? The title speaks for itself.
