	Good quiz, but where is New Zealand? ANZAC forces? Also, you should accept Russia for Soviet Union.

	dslaw:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 02:27 GMT	2 points
	Thanks. New Zealand is there. I have USSR for Soviet Union but ignored Russia.

	antlyon:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 03:45 GMT	-1 points
	you have Iraq listed for both sides

	dslaw:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 14:07 GMT	2 points
	Iraq, as well as a few other countries, fought for one side then switched. Iraq was friendly to the allies, there was a coup, they helped the axis, then the government switched again and they helped the allies at the end.

	mpsz:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	4 points
	I don't understand why such countries as Iraq are listed on both sides of conflict whereas Soviet Union is being listed as the ally only. Nazi Germany and USSR had a worldwide known treaty which lasted for two years. USSR was never an ally country until the June of 1941. Before that, realising the secret German-Soviet protocols, they had managed to invade and annex a considerable part of eastern Europe.

	dslaw:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 23:09 GMT	2 points
	I didn't do USSR on both sides since the allies, except Poland, didn't fight them during that time. The Baltic countries were included as bonuses instead of actual answers since the Russians took over with little resistance. I handled 2 other European countries the same as the Baltic States.

	I added years to show the countries switching sides. Usually you think of the smaller states as one side or the other. I tried to show that some did switch during the war mainly as a "i didn't know that" to some people.

	tannu tuva was i think a sovereign state until officially annexed by the USSR. But otherwise comprehensive. Great quiz.

	One of the best "name the WWII countries" quizzes. Good job!

	HalfWelsh:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 17:15 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz, really interesting, but I was pretty much constantly typing and still fell 14 short. Maybe another minute or two on the time please?

	Serbia wasn't on axis side, in fact 600.000 Serbs, Jews and Roma people was killed in Croat 'Ustashe' Concentration camp 'Jasenovac'

	dslaw:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 03:13 GMT	3 points
	Kerouac-After Yugoslavia was split up there was a Military Administration in Serbia run by Germany. I put them in the Axis column just because it was German puppet state run by Serbs loyal to the German side.

	Yugoslavia was Axis for two weeks in 1941 (defected and was invaded). Bahrain and Oman were not independent states during WWII, but were under the control of the UK. Iceland wasn't independent until 1944 (was a Danish colony occupied by UK), and never officially declared war. Nepal never declared war on anyone. Also, you left out Egypt, Philippines and India (recognized as Allies) and Syria and Lebanon (independent after 1943, declared war on Germany). Several Axis puppet states are missing (Salo, Albania, etc) as well as the Japanese puppet states: Manchukuo, Burma, Philippines, etc. You could list as bonuses Portugal, which was a de facto if not de jure Ally, and you could list Vichy France and Spain as de facto Axis. Despite my comments, good quiz!

	I am just curious, why does San Marino appear twice?

	Really interesting quiz!

	Good quiz! But you have one missing! Newfoundland was fighting with the Allies and was not part of Canada before 1949!

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Nov 20th, 2010 at 02:54 GMT	1 point
	I'm confused about how Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia were axis at the same time that Yugoslavia was an ally. Mind explaining?

	really? you're gonna make me type out the united states of america? why can't you just accept US or America or something?

	typed Japan three times and it didn't come up

	andr5036:	May 15th, 2011 at 17:42 GMT	2 points
	Iceland was not fully independent until 1944.

	Egypt only declared war on Germany in early 1945. There was fighting in Egypt earlier in the war, obviously, but Egypt itself was formally neutral. @target1plus - Newfoundland was a dominion until 1933, but then it returned to its status as a British colony until 1949, so it shouldn't count any more than the numerous other British colonies that aren't listed. (India, though, and the Philippines, should certainly be listed).

	How did 14 Axis countries EVER hold up against 55 Allied countries? Even if it was for only 6 years, that sounds like quite a feat.
