World War I Quiz

World War I Quiz pages often remind us of the sheer unpredictability of history. One unusual story involves a World War I soldier named Henry Tandey, a British private who reportedly had Adolf Hitler in his rifle sights during a 1918 skirmish, but chose not to shoot. Hitler, a messenger at the time, is said to have recognized Tandey’s mercy and later mentioned it during World War II. While historians still debate the full accuracy of the event, it’s one of the most talked-about near-misses in military lore. If tales like this intrigue you, this WWI quiz offers a thoughtful way to test what you know about the First World War, its events, leaders, and lesser-known facts that shaped the modern world.
