The subject of history typically contains questions regarding human civilization from the inception of writing through the recent past (5–20 years for most sets, with more recent material being considered current events). 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 also present as a smaller part of the distribution. History questions focus on many different types of things, such as leaders, battles, treaties, political groups/parties, elections, civilizations, technologies, social trends, high-impact events, and (in college quizbowl) historiography/specific historians' theories.
