Treaties Trivia Questions

1. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28th June 1919 - exactly five years after which significant event?

From Quiz
Treaty of Versailles

Answer: The assassination of Franz Ferdinand

On 28th June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by the Serbian Black Hand. This was one of the main short-term causes of World War I. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on 28th July 1914; Germany invaded Belgium on 4th August 1914 and the UK declared war on Germany later the same day.

2. A.By a peace treaty signed in this city (1802) Napoleon reached the first high point of his power.

From Quiz A-Z Famous Peace Treaties

Answer: Amiens

As a result, England surrendered all colonial conquests (except Ceylon and Trinidad). The French, in turn, abandoned Egypt.

3. War of 1812: the United States and Great Britain.

From Quiz Name The Treaty

Answer: Treaty of Ghent

Ghent (also spelled Gent) is a city in Belgium. The treaty was signed on December 24, 1814. The treaty set most land boundaries and fishing rights the way they were before, but did end the war. An interesting sidenote: the news of the treaty didn't reach the U.S. for two weeks, and the Battle of New Orleans took place early in January, 1815.

4. Which treaty ended Queen Anne's War (also known as the War of Spanish Succession) of 1702-1713?

From Quiz Treaties Which Have Changed the World

Answer: Treaty of Utrecht

The Treaty of Utrecht, signed in 1713, marked the declining power of France and the growing worldwide strength of Britain. The treaty recognized Philip as king of Spain, but France agreed that Spain and France would never unite under one ruler. Britain gained the Spanish colonies of Gibraltar and Minorca and received a contract to supply all the Spanish colonies in America with African slaves. In North America, France gave Britain the territory around Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and the mainland Nova Scotia region of Acadia.

5. The 1935 Hoare-Laval Pact was a never-signed treaty between Britain and France to end Italian aggression, in which African nation?

From Quiz Trick or Treaty

Answer: Abyssinia (Ethiopia)

The growing threat and fear of the spread of Italian fascism led by Benito Mussolini caused British and French foreign ministers, Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval, to propose the Hoare-Laval Pact. The treaty would have essentially ceded control of most of Abyssinia to Italy without a fight. When details of the treaty leaked, the public was outraged at Hoare and Laval for appearing to appease Hitler and his allies. Both men were sacked in humiliating fashion and the treaty was never even considered by either country's government.

6. When was the treaty of Kutchuk-Kainardji signed?

From Quiz Treaties and Pacts - I

Answer: 1774

It was signed between Russia and Turkey at the end of the first of the Russo-Turkish Wars undertaken by Catherine II of Russia against Sultan Mustafa III of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). It was signed at the village of Kuchuk Kainarji, now Kaynardzha, NE Bulgaria, in the Dobruja, near the Danube and SE of Silistra. The treaty ceded Kerch and several other Black Sea ports in the Crimea to Russia and declared the rest of the khanate of Crimea independent. Russian trading ships were allowed to navigate in Turkish waters. Moldavia and Walachia were restored to the suzerainty of the Sultan, but Russia obtained the right of intervening with the Sublime Porte (the sultan's court) on behalf of those two principalities. Russia furthermore acquired certain rights of representation on behalf of the Greek Orthodox subjects of the Sultan. By a separate treaty (1775) Turkey ceded Bukovina to Austria. The Treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji facilitated the eventual Russian annexation (1783) of the Crimea and was the basis of the later claims of Russia as protector of the Christians in the Ottoman Empire. The Russian ascendancy over Turkey, of which the treaty was a symptom, made the Eastern Question acute. Varied spellings include the forms Kutchuk and Kainardji.It's pronounced as 'koochook kinarj'. Turk, 'kuchuk kinarja'.

7. The Treaty of Versailles ended what war?

From Quiz Treaties Through History

Answer: World War I

From Quiz Treaty of Versailles

Answer: Britain, France, America

Germany lost the war and was not allowed to negotiate. The "Big Three" nations were America, France and Britain, led by Woodrow Wilson, Georges Clemenceau and David Lloyd George, respectively.

10. The 1657 Treaty of Paris created a military alliance, between what two countries, against Spain?

From Quiz Don't Stop Agreeing

12. Who were the 'Big Four'?

From Quiz The Treaty of Versailles

Answer: Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, Orlando

The Big Four were the leaders of the principal Allied nations - American President Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, French Premier Georges Clemenceau, and Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Orlando. These men were responsible for creating the Treaty of Versailles. (Originally, Russia had also been one of the leading Entente Powers, but had been defeated by Germany).

13. World War I: Russia and Germany.

From Quiz Name The Treaty

15. The 1939 Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact was an agreement to partition Poland between which two nations who invaded in September of that year?

From Quiz Trick or Treaty

Answer: Germany and the Soviet Union

Better known as the nonaggression pact, it was signed by Germany and the USSR on 23 August. Under the terms of the treaty both countries agreed to remain neutral and to refrain from acts of aggression against each other if either went to war. Secret clauses allowed for the partition of Poland - Adolf Hitler was to acquire western Poland, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin the eastern part. On 1 September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and the Soviet Union followed on the 17th. The pact ended when Hitler invaded Russia on 22 June 1941.

16. Treaty of Basle was signed in:

From Quiz Treaties and Pacts - I

Answer: 1795

It was signed between Prussia and France. The Treaty of Basel (or Basle) marked the first major defection from the First Coalition against France. Seeing little advantage to continuing the struggle against France and more concerned with integrating the new Polish provinces than with eliminating the revolutionary threat, Prussia came to a mutually beneficial agreement with France. Prussia recognized France's possession of the left bank of the Rhine. In exchange, France agreed to a neutrality zone encompassing Northern Germany. The peace treaty made between the two powers would last for 11 years.

17. The 1713 Treaties of Utrecht put a member of what European royal family on the Spanish throne?

From Quiz Treaties, Peaces, and Agreements

This was signed on April 13, 1814, and sent Napoleon into exile. He was given 2,000,000 francs (about $400,000 U.S. dollars) per year, but the treaty stayed in effect for barely a year, because in March 1815 Napoleon escaped and lost the Battle of Waterloo.

20. Which treaty ended the War of 1812?

From Quiz Treaties Which Have Changed the World

Signed at Ghent, Belgium, on Dec. 24, 1814, the treaty simply restored the situation existing before the war, and settled none of the disputes that had caused the war.

26. American War of Independence: Great Britain and the United States.

From Quiz Name The Treaty

28. The 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas more or less divided New World lands between which two nations?

From Quiz Trick or Treaty

Answer: Spain and Portugal

The Treaty of Tordesillas set the line of demarcation halfway between the Portuguese claimed Cape Verde Islands of the coast of Africa and the recently "discovered" island of Hispaniola which Christopher Columbus claimed for Spain. Neither nation knew the full extent of their lands as the area had not been fully explored as yet by Europeans. Other European nations ignored the treaty as they were not recipients of any lands under the agreement and refused to concede much of the New World to Spain and Portugal.
