Welcome to the programming trivia community! This will be a spot where you can post questions related to the instance and others will have a chance to guess answers

Answers should be given in the comments around a day after the question was posted and do not look up answers on search engines if you are answering it. Just post a guess for what you think the answer is in the comments

Ill be doing daily questions (and will do some more today + tomorrow to start the community off) but feel free to post your own as well

To start off heres a history-related question, enjoy!
