I was able to answer one question on my first reading of the questions, and a further 3 after going directly to the relevant Wikipedia page. Many others can be answered with some skilled use of Wikipedia/Google. Of section 1, 1.2 and presumably 1.7 are British. The others are European, except 1.8 which I think is American. I think section 2 has a Baltic theme. (This is as far as I've gone in detail.) Section 8 appears to be science (perhaps nature), section 12 medicine. There are plenty of questions on events or people in Europe-but-not-Britain, but I'd struggle to call them "general" knowledge. Specialist knowledge on an extremely wide range of topics, perhaps.
