Good quiz. Djibouti was also named "French Territory of Afars and Issas " for the last decade before the independence.

German East Africa doesn't really correspond to Tanzania - it included modern-day Rwanda and Burundi, but not modern-day Zanzibar which is now a part of Tanzania.

German East Africa was mainly Tanganyika (which I think should also be accepted). Rwanda and Burundi were part of it until World War I, when they were assigned to Belgian control while Tanganyika went to British Control. Please accept "Congo Free State" for Belgian Congo. Good idea for a quiz!

I agree that Tanganyika should be accepted for Tanzania. Also disappointed to see no Upper Volta. Otherwise, nice quiz
