This page exists so the answer can stand on its own for search and sharing. The clue is intentionally short, but the explanation adds enough context for a player to understand why the year matters and how it connects to the broader category. That gives the page a clear topic, a stable title, and a useful summary for people who arrive from search or from the game result screen.
In the live quiz, this card asks players to reason from the clue and range rather than simply recall a list of dates. Close guesses still earn points, and the answer review shows the correct year, your guess, the error, and the points earned.
