Example Key Stage 3 history quiz questions

Why did the Black Death cause wages to rise in England after 1348?Because it killed roughly a third to a half of the population, so fewer workers were available and employers had to pay more.

What did Magna Carta (1215) establish?That the king was subject to the law and could not act without limits, forced on King John by rebellious barons.

What did the Great Reform Act of 1832 do?It redistributed seats from rotten boroughs to growing industrial towns and extended the vote to some middle-class men.

What was the Triangular Trade?Ships carried goods from Britain to Africa, enslaved Africans to the Americas, and sugar, tobacco and cotton back to Britain.

What did the Treaty of Versailles (1919) do?It ended the First World War with Germany, placing blame on it and imposing reparations, which fuelled resentment later exploited in the 1930s.
