Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these four Presidents of the USA served in that role for the longest?

Answer: George Washington

The USA's first President, Washington, served two terms (1789-1797), whereas Carter (1977-1981) and Van Buren (1837-1841) served only one. Lincoln was assassinated in the closing stages of the Civil War (1861-1865).
2. Which Caesar of Rome was in power for the longest time out of these four?

Answer: Hadrian

Hadrian, famous for his wall, ruled the longest (117-138), in comparison to the brief reigns of Philip the Arab (244-249), the insane Caligula (37-41) and the megalomaniac Nero (54-68).
3. Which Prime Minister of the UK served for the greatest number of years out of these four?

Answer: Winston Churchill

Churchill served twice (1940-1945 and 1951-1955), while Earl Grey (1830-1834), the Duke of Wellington (1828-1830), and MacMillan (1957-1963) had much shorter terms.
4. Which of these four ruled Russia/USSR for the most years?

Answer: Leonid Brezhnev

Brezhnev (1964-1982) and Andropov (1982-1984) both died in office. Lvov (1917) and Kerensky (1917) only had very short reigns in a provisional government that existed between the end of the Royal Empire and the creation of the Communist state.
5. Which of these four Emperors of Persia had the longest reign?

Answer: Darius I

Darius I ruled from 522-486 BC, Cyrus II the Great reigned from 559-530 BC, Xerxes I was Emperor from 486-465 BC, and poor old Sogdianus could only manage 424-423 BC.
6. Who served as Prime Minister of Canada for the longest out of these four?

Answer: William MacKenzie King

MacKenzie King served three times (1921-1926, 1926-1930, and 1935-1948). Trudeau served twice (1968-1979 and 1980-1984), and St.Laurent (1948-1957) and Diefenbaker (1957-1963) served only once.
7. Which of these four Shoguns of Japan ruled for the longest period of time?

Answer: Ienari

Ienari ruled in two different centuries from 1787 to 1838. Ienobu reigned from 1709-1713, Ieyasu was the first Shogun from the Tokugawa clan (1603-1605), and Keiki was the last (1866-1867).
8. Who was the longest serving ruler of Italy out of these four?

Answer: Benito Mussolini

Mussolini ruled as a dictator from 1922 to 1943. Nitti (1919-1920), Giolitti (1920-1921), and Bonomi (1921-1922) all passed within the blink of an eye.
9. Which Mughal Emperor ruled India for the longest out of these four?

Answer: Aurangzeb

Aurangzeb (1658-1707) ruled the longest. Shah Alam comes in at a close second (1759-1806), and Bahadur Shah I (1707-1712) and Mohammed Akbar II (1806-1837) had shorter periods of power.
10. Which Kaiser/Emperor of Prussia/Germany ruled for the longest out of these four?

Answer: Wilhelm II

Wilhelm II was the last Kaiser (1888-1918), having to abdicate after World War I. Wilhelm I ruled from 1861 to 1888 leaving all his power in his Chancellor's (Bismarck) hands. Friedrich Wilhelm IV reigned from 1840 to 1861, and Friedrich III lasted one year (1888).
