I got 14 for the last one - only got stupid ones wrong anyway
1) The melody from the
European Anthem
comes from the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven.
I didn't listen because I have Brahms on (much better than Beethoven!
) so I'll guess true.
2) The Roman Empire reached it’s largest extend in AD 116.
I think false - that was Hadrian wasn't it and he stopped all expansion.
3) Aurora, the Roman personification of the dawn, was the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Eos. Her sons are the Moon and the Sun.
True? Bit hazy on my mythology - I prefer the real people

True?
5) During the American Civil War, neither side used ‘colored’ troops.
False
6) Dutch rates of drugs use are lower than U.S rates in every category.
I'll say true, sounds all controversial and shocking - right up Dreamer's ally
7) The Principality of Andorra is a small nation between France and Italy.
Dunno, true?
8) The head of the Afghan government is Hamid Karzai
True?
9) Armenia is an independent state. It was also the first country to formally adopt Christianity.
What does formally adopting christianity mean? True?
10) The ancient Egyptian god ‘Atum’ was the personification of the Spring.
Pretty sure he was a sun god.
11) During WWII, Heinrich Himmler was the leader of both the Waffen SS and the Gestapo.
True?
12) Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an anarchist.
False
13) Oscar Wilde was known for his strong distaste of Americans and Gay people.
False?
