History Trivia — Easy
Forty-one history questions from the community-built Open Trivia Database, easy tier. What the pack covers follows what contributors happened to submit, not a syllabus: it leans hard on modern Western and military history — the two world wars, twentieth-century leaders, revolutions and independences — with a thinner scattering of antiquity, the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and nineteenth-century Britain and America. Answers are dates, places and proper names. One question per card, answered in full: the multiple-choice distractors of the original are dropped.

This deck was modified when it was brought in: The database was queried one difficulty tier at a time, and each multiple-choice question turned into a single card, "question -> full answer": the three distractors are dropped, as they make no sense in active recall. Removed as well: questions that refer to the list of choices or to a missing picture, questions with no question mark, questions whose answer is tied to a moment in time (including "best-selling", "of all time" and other record superlatives), true-or-false items, answers of a single character or beginning as a sentence fragment, restatements of a question already in the pack, pairs of cards that are the same fact asked in both directions, cards whose answer is already stated in the wording of another card in the pack, cards whose own wording gives their answer away, cards whose answer does not name the historical entity it claims to name (a state, a currency or a polity that did not exist under that name at the date asked), questions already served by another Open Trivia Database pack in this catalogue, and entries whose wording contains a spelling mistake. HTML entities served by the API were decoded and invisible whitespace stripped. No question or answer text was rewritten: a faulty entry is removed, never corrected.
