	Very good and interesting quiz. The only suggestion is to reduce the time limit somewhat.

	I don't get it. For one thing, Romania gained significant territory after WWI, and Finland was part of Russia until the 1920s.

	Yeah, there seems to be inconsistencies. And as dumb as I am, I can't remember what might've happened to Swedish territory during the 1900s. Swedish-Norwegian union?

	How can Finland be stable since 1809, when it wasn't an independent country, but Sweden isn't an answer because it was in a personal union with Norway, and Spain isn't an answer even though Spain proper has had the same borders since it got back Minorca in the 1750s? Also, the borders of Finland changed in the early twentieth century - territory it held in the interwar period went to Russia.

	Just, in general, a really inconsistent and poorly thought out quiz.

	Other errors - Romania gained a huge amount of territory after World War I, then lost some of it during and after World War II. Venezuela's eastern border with Guyana was not settled until the end of the nineteenth century. Cuba didn't really achieve independence until 1902 - it was reconquered by Spain after its initial declaration of independence. If you're going to count FInland, Norway clearly ought to be counted - it's had the same borders for a long time (not sure the precise date). Luxembourg has had the same border since 1839, or at least since 1890. And didn't Chile and Peru achieve their modern borders in the War of the Pacific?

	Finland lost territory to the USSR in the 1940 as a result of its defeat in the Winter War. Before 1940, Finland controlled parts of Karelia, and its border stretch all the way to the northwestern shore of Lake Ladoga. Finland's present day border was shaped by that war.

	The one about Romania is hugely inaccurate.

	And what about the Falkland war in Argentina?

	lambda:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 15:34 GMT		3 points
	Good idea, but there are plenty of mistakes. To add to what others have noted: Nepal and British India adjusted borders after 1900. Oman acquired and lost colonies in East Africa was for a while a British protectorate well after the Portuguese left; also some of its land borders were not precisely defined until the 1990s. Bhutan's status as independent nation or British protectorate was unclear until the 1949 treaty with India; in any case this treaty changed the border. Venezuela's border with Guyana is disputed. Many of Switzerland's borders are on glaciers and have been slightly moved as they grew or shrunk; the Rio Grande US-Mexico border has shifted many times; similar changes probably occurred to most countries listed in this quiz.

	@Bart122333: Did Argentina lose territory in the Falklands War? I thought it just failed to gain territory.

	Some glaring errors-- Finland's and Romania's territory at the end of WWI was not the same as at the end of WWII, Venezuela lost territory to Brazil in the early 1900s, and how did Honduras' borders change if those of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua remained the same?

	wasnt cuba part of the united states until like 1902 after the USA took control after the spanish-american war?

	Good idea for a quiz but as has been said before needs some serious revising. Btw, don't recall any change in Portugal's territory since Congress of Vienna. I do recall Romania having several gains and losses up until the end of WWII. Also pointed out: Oman and Finland were not independent at the years given. Argentina gained territory from Paraguay in the 1830s and Venezuela has kept a dispute with Britain, then Guyana over territories along its eastern border.

	Switzerland's date is wrong because Neuchatel did not join until 1848; it was Prussian before. The dates for the Central American states are for their formal secessions from the Central American Republic; Guatemala isn't listed because it never formally seceded. That says nothing about their borders. For the person asking earlier, Norway became independent of Sweden in 1905.

	Definitely a quiz of questionable accuracy.

	Oman sold its enclave of Gwadar to Pakistan in 1958.
