To spare the angry folks around you time, I'll list a few complaints so you don't have to:

*1: Marquis de Lafayette co-led the army that defeated the British!!!

*2: Women were not considered equal! Jefferson held slaves!!!

*4: The company didn’t do it to be nice, they wanted to sell their cars to their own employees!!!

*6: FDR didn’t even send a congratulations telegram to Jesse Owens!!!

*10: Discrimination still exists!!!

*11: The Soviets put the first satellite, animal, man and woman in space!!!

*12: The Soviet Team also consisted of amateurs (officially)!!!

*13: Well they’re not the sole superpower anymore!!!

I thought that China had a more powerful military, per your quiz, it looks like I am wrong. I retract that statement about propaganda.
