History

History is a part of the quizbowl distribution, typically taking up (4/4) in a 20 question round. The subject of history typically contains questions regarding human civilization from the inception of writing through the near future (5-20 years for most sets). In U.S. quizbowl, a large amount of history is devoted to American history, with the next largest focus on European history. World history and ancient history are a smaller part of the distribution, but they are also present.
