	India was considered a separate nation in WWII. It was a member of the League of Nations and a charter member of the UN in 1945 (when it only became independent in 1947). It also signed the declaration of United Nations, and it had its own army. I believe that India was basically treated as an independent state, rather than a colony, but an independent state which was administered by a foreign power.

	You have to accept "United States" in addition to USA, and accept "Russia" and/or "Soviet Union" in addition to USSR.

	@KoilMcFalcon: Great Britain is the actual island and it has been the United Kingdom since the early 1700's

	Ok thanks for your tips we have now fixed the game B.T.W i'm only 10 years old but my dad has now helped me fix it

	@KoilMcFalcon: You're incorrect, UK is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, if Northern Ireland left it would become Great Britain. Furthermore, the Republic of Ireland left the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1922 hence why the full name of the UK changed to include Northern Ireland. Also, does this quiz include the British Empire under the UK's combatants?

	Great quiz for a 10-year-old. You can only get better.

	India was not its own country at that point in history. soldiers from India were volunteers hoping that if they helped the British would let them be. India was its own country in 1947 and was experiencing much civil unrest (particularly between Hindus and Muslims, thus meaning, they didn't have time for a large war. I suggest removing India from the list and add all soldiers from British colonies to UK. Maybe you should add Canada.

	Canada had at least 1 million for sure, should be on the list.

	India had its own army, separate from the British one; it signed the Declaration by United Nations separately from the British; it was a charter member of both the League of Nations and the UN. Its status was distinctly different from that of other British colonies.

	The Indian army was treated as a separate one in World War II, World War I, and even perhaps the Boer War. In the imperial era, a distinction (which I don't know very well) was made between the (small) British Army in India and the native Indian Army. Perhaps there's a handy hint that can be squeezed in at the beginning of the quiz so folks don't feel cheated. In addition to the UN and League of Nations, India was also a member of the British Commonwealth in 1926 & 1931, at least theoretically equal to Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, the UK and the Irish Free State. A similar case could be made for the Philippine army, even though many of its officers were Americans; the Philippines were also one of the UN's founder members, although the Commonwealth of the Philippines didn't become an independent republic until July 4, 1946.
