	Yay! This is the first time I've remembered to guess both the Germanies on one of these quizzes.

	I had my fingers crossed that Boleslaw Bierut would be "Beirut".

	But that's because I'm an idiot.

	U Nu? No, I didn't.

	Unfortunately, Civ games never use these leaders, although considering quite a few of them had rather...ahem...controversial reigns. Especially that sneaky Clement Attlee :D

	Curse you, divided Germanies! I always forget that there's two in these period quizzes.

	Great quiz! I did reasonably well by making educated guesses based on the language derivations of the names. Of course, there are so many Spanish-speaking countries that it was impossible to get them all.

	If this quiz had been made in the way country -> leader, U Nu would be one of those answers you appreciate when you have 1 second left.

	Great quiz. Brings back memories.

	I wish the other, longer world leader quizzes would have as much time. Since the number of independent countries was significantly lower in the 50's, could this one actually have included all of the heads of state, had it been as extensive as the other quizzes in the series? (Well, maybe I'm just bitter that Nordic countries were completely ignored this time).

	I kept trying Russia for Stalin, trying to figure out why it wasn't working... and then i saw the answer. facepalm

	Why wasn't Nationalist China acceptable for Chiang Kai-shek? Taiwan is an island.

	@tomstar86 - I don't think it's as simple as that!

	dancastro:	Mar 26th, 2011 at 02:05 GMT		2 points
	@Bobman1: I was surprised to see Perón with more correct answers than Stalin. Was that because Perón is the first one to guess and Stalin is only in the middle of the second column... or perhaps because nobody made a film or a musical about Stalin's wife?

	Maybe accept PRC or People's Republic of China. That is the name of the country, especially under Mao.

	@dancastro I think it has two reasons. First, as you mentioned, Peron is the first one to guess, Stalin is near the end of the list. Nevertheless the time frame seems alright to me.And secondly many forget about the USSR and type in Russia instead. Good quiz indeed. Malan and Gottwald are tricky, their names don't sound like the countries they were from. Luckily I knew Gottwald. But was Auriol really the most powerful guy in France? I thought that was the Prime Minister in the Fourth Republic. And as far as Bierut is concerned, first thought may be Lebanon, but the name "Boleslaw" is obviously Slavic and not Arabic.

	Kinda disappointed "Formosa" was not accepted...my area of study is this era (I did well enough) and "Formosa" is just as if not more common in contemporary accounts as/than 'Taiwan' or 'Nationalist China' for the state and island. Also, why wasn't "PRC" accepted?

	Only 25% got Syngman Rhee? But he's featured in "We Didn't Start The Fire!" :)
