| To fix this quiz, have it include only countries sovereign at the outset of the war, and that date can float a little depending when the war began for them. Include Ethiopia. Exclude Croatia; it is included as part of Yugoslavia. Exclude Portugal, it was neutral. Exclude Belarus, it never existed as a state until the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. (Except in the UN, where the USSR got three votes, alleging Ukrainian and Belarussian sovereignty, as the price of their agreeing to participate.)Exclude India, it was a British colony. Including Estonia is correct, it was independent between World War I and World War II. Also include, by the same token, Lithuania and Latvia. Include Czechoslovakia, as it didn't willingly merge with Germany like Austria did. Don't include North African states - you haven't, but buckers suggests you should - because they were all colonies. (Check Egypt's status, it was effectively a British colony but may have had some blurrily independent status, technically.) I would double check on the status and names of Oman and Bahrain - I'm not clear each was both independent and named that, then. This game is still great and challenging in any case, as you have to get the Central and South American countries that participated mostly on paper, and Mongolia, which, well, it's Mongolia. |
