	The Triple Alliance and The Triple Entente should be allowed for 2 and 3. Good quiz.

	Worth nothing that large portions of the world, including this country don't call the Armenian massacre a genocide. Also, the Maginot line was built after the war.

	Actually, the Triple Alliance shouldn't work, because it included Italy, which fought against its allies in the war.

	Who cares whether the US government (if that is "this country") calls the Armenian genocide a genocide? Historians call it one.

	I'd like to see Spanish influenza or Spanish flu accepted for the 2nd to last question. That was what it was called then, not just regular flu.

	A few problems here - 1) A few typos eg Geraman, allience. 2) Treaty of Versaille not only treaty, only peace treaty regarding Germany and not Austria etc. 3) Should be von Schlieffen 4) Maginot Line was WWII 5) You could accept more alternative answers eg Archduke Franz Ferdinand, spanish flu etc. 6)League of Nations wasn't an alliance 7) Trench warfare was certainly not unique to WWI, had been seen in many wars previously including extensively in the US civil war. Enjoyable quiz nonetheless.

	dowcharger, not calling the armenian genocide a genocide is a purely political move done at the urging of the Turks. When 1.5 million people are killed, it is a genocide. The only reason that Turkey doesn't call it one is because they are not man enough to admit to their own mistakes, and the US doesn't call it one because they do not want to anger one of their few allies in the middle east.

	1.5 million is the Armenian estimate- impossibly high, since according to Ottoman censuses, there weren't even that many Armenians present in the Ottoman empire. The Turks estimate around 300,000 - way too low. Most historians believe it was around 800,000-1 million. So it was a genocide. But don't purposely inflate and stretch numbers for your own propaganda, coolcolin.

	I've made changes as requested, checked sources, spell checked, should be ready to go. thanks everyone.

	All Quiet on the Western Front, by the way, was originally a book by Erich Maria Remarque. That's a clue that would have made me get the right answer.

	Suggest "Archduke Ferdinand" as an acceptable answer. I did not know Ferdinand's first name

	QuintFan:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 03:17 GMT	1 point
	Please accept "Archduke Ferdinand". And really...you won't take influenza for the disease?
