Yes biffaroo, in fact I'm one of those idiots. But maybe you can tell me which city Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo was unable to complete the siege of in 1573 (an equally important event in Dutch history). My point, a lot of non-americans take these (fantastic) quizzes too....

I thought Kitty Hawk was the name of the plane-der. And I wish I could learn to spell Philadelphia as I quite often miss answers due to not spelling that right!
