What the quiz is about "Napoleonic Wars Quiz":

Which events from 1803–1815 are in the quiz?

From Napoleon’s coronation in 1804 to the Congress of Vienna: the naval war with Britain, the campaigns in Germany, the war in Spain, the 1812 invasion of Russia, the Hundred Days and Waterloo. There are 15 questions with four options each.

Do I need to know exact battle dates?

No. The year or month in a question only tells you which episode it is about. It matters more to know who fought whom, where the big battles took place and how the campaigns ended. There are no dates or names that only specialists would know.

Are there questions that aren't about Napoleon?

Yes. France fought coalitions of European states, so some questions are about the British navy, the Prussian army and Austrian diplomats. You’ll need to remember who was in command on the other side.

What rank can I get at the end?

One of five, from “Beginner” to “Expert”, depending on your share of correct answers. If you don’t like the result, you can take the quiz again and compare what changed.
