Ok, every forum on the Internet must have a game of trivia. It's the law.

The Rules:
- If you know the answer to the current question, post it. If/When you are told you're right, you can post your question. And not before. ;)
- Try not to post off-topic stuff because that's how spam-fests happen. Spam-fests are fun, but not in the middle of a game of trivia.

Leaderboard:
I'll put some sort of leaderboard showing who is winning here once we've been playing for a while.

The Question:
A nice easy one to start with.
Who was the first president of the United States of America?

Since it seems to have stopped I'll start this thread back up.

Okay,this question can be a little difficult:

Wrong. It was quite a bit longer than that. There are actually two right answers.

America was involved from 1965 to 1973...or 75. I can't remember.


The exact length, I'm really not too sure of.

The history books leave out a change a lot of the details about the war.

15 to 20 years?

Correct. The actual conflict broke out between the Frenck and North Vietnamese in 1955.

In 1960 the U.S., South Vietnamese, South Korea, Thailand, and Australian SAS entered the war.

A cease fire was declared in 1974, but the North Vietnamese broke the cease fire with a full scale invasion of the South Vietnamese capital called Saigon.

Alrigth Emo. Now you think of a question
