    Question #9. World War II did not end with the surrender of Germany in May of 1945. It ended in September of 1945 when Japan surrendered.

    Depends where you live. Most Europeans would say the "World" war ended when Germany surrendered. The when you remind them about Japan they'd go... hmmm yea, I suppose.

    Isn't the number of wives that some old king had an extremely low-level detail for history buffs and people into historical novels? It's quite unimportant. I mean, there are some far more interesting things they could ask here that would be a challenge.
