The Queen Elizabeth I Quiz.

Piloting the world’s largest empire, Queen Elizabeth I oversaw one of the most prominent periods in the history of Great Britain. Not only did the nation’s territorial conquests go well under her reign, but the social aspects of her nation also saw tremendous revolution beneath her example.

From a childhood that had its fair share of challenges to an adulthood of power and influence, Queen Elizabeth proved to have a character that was the product of the circumstances around her. Yet, with the power of Britain behind her, she would go on to shape the circumstances herself. Even if her reign has many areas which draw the ire of a contemporary audience, the impact she had on history has allowed her to remain a figure of particular interest throughout history.

Elizabeth made firm policies. The results of these policies may have been mixed at times, but they definitely reveal the truth of her vision of a new Britain which would set the pace for the world which evolved in leaps and bounds.  She patronized methods of both the pen and the sword. The ultimate result was a glorious rule which set the course of British history as we know it.
