A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

World history is a subject you encounter much more often once you become a high school student.

It’s important not only as a class, but also because it’s related to university entrance exams.

That said, since world history is literally the “history of the world,” its scope is incredibly broad.

You have to memorize a lot of terms—names of countries and civilizations, historical figures, and more—so some of you might feel a bit intimidated by it.

In this article, we’re presenting a quiz on the theme of “world history trivia”!

Because it’s trivia, you can try it without feeling like it’s formal studying, and it might even spark your interest in certain events.

Give it a try all the way to the end!

Invincible Armada

It’s true they were strong, but the nickname “Invincible Armada” actually carries a touch of irony. After the Battle of the Armada, where they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the smaller British fleet, it was the English who began calling them the “Invincible Armada.”
