        2020 was undoubtedly the most trying year in living memory. Take our quick quiz and test your memory with questions on international headlines.

        From insect infestations to natural disasters to a massive explosion, even without the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 had terrible and tragic moments for the international community.

        Despite the many lows, there were still a few highs, including the Democratic Republic of Congo finally being announced clear of a deadly virus and Ireland winning a spot on the UN Security Council. 

        If you think you know about these topics, try our quick quiz on 2020 below.
