| Soviet Union, or USSR, refers to the large multinational state that existed in northern Eurasia from roughly 1922-1991. After 1991, this union of soviet nations split into 14 separate nation-states including the smaller Russia, the Sporcle famous Kyrgyzstan, and my home country of Estonia. You see, this quiz specifies that the battleship column refers to the WWII battleship era.During that time, the Soviet Union was a world power, and Russia, well it didn't exist. I assume it has Great Britain instead of the UK, Empire of Japan instead of Japan, and Ottoman Empire instead of Turkey for similar reasons. Also, the quiz accepts "Russia" for the Soviet Union battleship column answer anyway you fool, please |
