About This Quiz
Growing up in the U.S., we all learned about our presidents. But do you ever wonder how much you actually remember about each of their terms? Or, if you’re still in school, you may need a productive study break. If either of these sounds like you, or if you fancy yourself an expert on U.S. presidential history, you may just want to take this quiz.
Test your knowledge of who was president of the United States during many historical and cultural milestones. After having elected more than 40 presidents, and over 200 years of being an independent nation, the U.S. has had quite the long (and somewhat confusing) history.
Who Was President?
There have been 46 presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Joseph R. Biden. Along with our presidents, the U.S. has seen various wars, technological innovations, and incredible historical events. Through this, our nation has upheld and amended the constitution and somehow survived to become the longest-running democracy in the world.
Each presidential administration has tackled different challenges and presided over a wide range of fascinating events. From presidents who have died in office, to presidents who have led during times of conflict or great historical movements, each leader lives on in our collective memories as a representation of what took place during his terms (or term) in office.
