With the benefit of hindsight it’s easier to tell which events made history revealing the key history facts that couldn’t be left out of our lists. We connect those dots together into general knowledge history lists and leave other websites to try and record everything, which is also important to help us understand the future. History gives us a sense of belonging and context to our lives, as <strong>Michael Crichton</strong> said:</p> <blockquote><p><em><q>If You Don’t Know History, You Don’t Know Anything. You’re a Leaf That Doesn’t Know It’s Part of a Tree</q></em></p></blockquote> <hr/> <div class="su-row"><div class="su-column su-column-size-1-2"><div class="su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim"> <h3><strong>5 Ways to ADDucate Yourself About History</strong></h3> <ol> <li><span class="add_grn"><strong>Test key history facts</strong></span> with ADDucation <strong>FREE quizzes</strong>.</li> <li><span class="add_grn"><strong>Revise what you’ve learnt</strong></span> and test your friends.</li> <li><span class="add_grn"><strong>Hundreds of GK Lists & Quizzes</strong></span> in 16 general knowledge categories.</li> <li><span class="add_grn"><strong>Find history facts FAST</strong></span> using ADDucation’s real-time search, list sort and filters.</li> <li><strong>ADDucation helps you </strong><strong><span class="add_grn">read less and learn more about history!</span></strong></li> </ol> <p><strong><em>Follow <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220127183601/https://www.facebook.com/AdducationGeneralKnowledge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ADDucation on Facebook</a> or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220127183601/https://twitter.com/myadducation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> and request new quizzes and lists</em>.</strong><br/> </div></div> <div class="su-column su-column-size-1-2"><div class="su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim"> <h4><a title="History general knowledge quizzes" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220127183601/http://www.adducation.info/general-knowledge-history/quiz-zone/"><img class="size-full wp-image-21178 lazy" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="History general knowledge quizzes" width="1044" height="200" sizes="(max-width: 1044px) 100vw, 1044px" title="key history facts History" data-srcset="/web/20220127183601im_/https://www.adducation.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/quiz-zone-history-1044x200s.jpg 1044w, /web/20220127183601im_/https://www.adducation.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/quiz-zone-history-1044x200s-616x118.jpg 616w, /web/20220127183601im_/https://www.adducation.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/quiz-zone-history-1044x200s-300x57.jpg 300w, /web/20220127183601im_/https://www.adducation.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/quiz-zone-history-1044x200s-400x77.jpg 400w, https://web.archive.org/web/20220127183601im_/http://www.adducation.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/quiz-zone-history-1044x200s.jpg"><br/> Try ADDucation’s history free online quizzes.
