A number of these were also colonies that you didn't mark: Morocco (protectorate of Spain and France), Iraq (British Mandate), UAE (which in 1963 would still have been the Trucial States, and protectorates of the UK), Qatar (British protectorate), and Sierra Leone (British colony). Also, Yemen is which, North or South Yemen?

I like to point that this should also include the nations who signed the 1926 Slavery Convention And also, slavery still exists secretly in many of these countries :(

@roman-if i included every signatory of the Slavery Convention, this quiz would have more than a hundred answers. good to point out that slavery still exists in many of these countries (in mauritania, not-so-secretely), but human trafficking is a global problem, and is common throughout western europe and the united states.

I'd just like to point out that #1: The fact that slavery was abolished doesn't mean that it was practised at that time. #2: The fact that slavery isn't allowed doesn't mean it is not practised.
