Show What You Know (Episode 7: Modern History)

Buckle up for a ride through modern history as Chris takes our contestants from the Middle Ages to the present day. Quizzes cover the early explorers, revolutions, World Wars, art and technology, and everything in-between. We hear the first telegraph message, discover how the compass shaped the modern world, and are treated to a song about the Renaissance played on period instruments. To put it all in perspective, a historian from Britannica answers thoughtful questions from the contestants.
