We had a quiz today in my European history class... and one of the question was asking who was the British Prime Minister who oversaw the transition from peace time to war time industry during WW 1.
According to the prof, the answer was David Lloyd George
I answered Asquith.
My logic: I remember that the book said that Lloyd George had overseen the change in 1915. So I almost answered Lloyd George. HOWEVER, I remembered that he didn't become Prime Minister until 1916. I explained to the prof and he said that he had become Prime Minister in 1915.
Well, I just checked half a dozen different online sources (most of the from the British government), and I'M RIGHT.
Nothing like proving a prof wrong to boost your ego a little!
