Guess The Decades Of These 15 Events, Or You Have To Go Back To History Class

Guess The Decades Of These 15 Events, Or You Have To Go Back To History Class

ADVERTISEMENT

With some historical events you remember the exact date, while with others, you can identify the decade at best. Well, luckily for most, today we’re going to be guessing the latter: 15 historical or pop-culture events, and you need to guess which decade it took place in. Sounds easy enough? Well, some things might happen right at the end of one decade and trick you, while with other tech things, you might have just not been that up to date and missed out by a decade or two. In any case, 15 events are waiting for you—let the trivia begin!

I gave up when the questions all became about which decades in which century.

I was certainly not around to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and as it matters diddly squat to me, a non-American, I was still only 10 years out!

They tricked me with the one year off. 1989 and 2009. Wish it was longer that was fun.

No. A decade starts with year xyz1 and ends with year xy(z+1)0. 1901-1910, 1911-1920.

I guess "lived through more than 3 decades" TECHNICALLY includes people who lived during the great depression and the signing of the declaration of independence......

But. Wait a minute. Wasn't 1776 in the seventh decade of the 18th century. The 18th century being the 1700s.

I only got one wrong - the decade when women got the vote in the US is not something I'd expect anyone outside of that country to be aware of, so it seemed a bit of an odd question to include.
