Some countries names may have changed since or used to be called something else. But I believe these are the offical names now.

I believe it only became the USA after it gained independence, so America is acceptable.

Please research whether anyone has done your subject matter before. I typed in "British Empire" into the search box and found 6 previous quizzes on this subject. There was even one that looked exactly like this one: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Chipmunkdavis/British_Empire

You forgot Zimbabwe, Egypt, Burma (Myanmar), Sudan and a few middle eastern countries. Also, Mozambique was part of the Portuguese empire, not the British empire.

i just did the colonies that I got information for, ill make corrections and make the time shorter. Also, I searched 'Former British Colonies' and didnt get a result so thought id make one, sorry if any previous were similar. Either way im sort of reviving the quiz :)

@cantthinkofaname - no, but's it's a former colony. Should perhaps have Israel as the answer as it's the modern day country in which Palestine is contained. You'd also need China (for Hong Kong). Also, Kiribati is in Oceana, not Africa, and Grenada is in North/Central America, not South America.

Is your quiz unconscious and needs reviving?
