I have majorly revamped this quiz. I increased the criteria from 1,000 to 10,000 which removed a lot of questionable cases such as Ireland, Spain, and Newfoundland. I also added the Baltic countries which were missing before, and removed Czechoslovakia which lost its sovereignty prior to the start of the war.

I think there should be a comprehensive reading test that people should ace, before they are allowed to post comments ;)

90% of the complaints can be answered/countered by simply rereading the title/description back to them.

Like a really really easy test, but with a lot of exceptions. (like "The name of this website" or "which animal meows" and in the description: you should leave out all t's in the answers.)

Some more rules to spice it up:

answers should be spelled backwards
plurals become singular and vice versa
if an answer contains 2 words only give the 2nd one (so new york becomes york)
If the answer to a question is a country, give its capital 
That could be so much fun :D I could go on dreaming up more, but I ll leave it at this :)

I think your rationale is inconsistent. Sure India and the Philippines were part of the UK and US "empires" but they were also still nation states, just as Australia and NZ were, which you have included.

Also, what about Indonesia, Thailand and PNG? All saw horrific fighting. Ditto in the case of Albania in Europe.

QM, it looks like a lot of people are missing the three Baltic states because they assume they were part of the USSR, is it possible to include something in the intro that hints at the fact that the USSR hadn't reached its full size by Sept '39, without making it too obvious who the countries in question are?

Just a thought, as a lot of people seem to be tripping up in the same way.

Hints? Really? The Molotov-Ribbentropp pact plus the Winter War with Finland and the annexation of the Baltic countries are one of the most important forgotten parts of WWII. Moldova, The Eastern section of Poland (Lwow), the Baltics, Kaliningrad, and a section of Finland were incorporated into the USSR at the end of the war, but were not at the beginning. Köningsberg (Kaliningrad) and Memel (Klaipėda) on the Baltic were in Sept 1939 German-ruled cities, although Hitler had only just annexed Memel in March. Danzig (now Gdansk), also German-majority, was the starting point for the war.

The Baltic states were independent up to 1940, but they never declared war on either side in WWII. In 1940, the USSR annexed the Baltic states and a year later, Germany invaded the Soviet Union. After that, it was not rare to find Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians fighting their brethren on the other side of the same battle.

The First Slovak Republic wasn't recognised by any of the Allies who considered it (rightly) to be a German puppet state, and the legitimate government to be the Czechoslovak government in place before the German invasion. Which was a bit rich since it was British and French treachery which destabilised Czechoslovakia in the first place, but there you go.

The Soviets weren't part of the Allies when they recognised it, and they derecognised it when Slovakia took part in Operation Barbarossa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_Republic_(1939%E2%80%931945)

If you're being literal, the Slovak Republic did exist for a few years during the period, but the idea that it was an independent sovereign nation is pretty strange. It was a German puppet which only a handful of countries recognised, and which only existed in any sense for the duration of the war.

I understand why not to include Austria, but I don't agree with excluding Czechoslovakia. Even though it was taken by Germany before the war, it had its exile government in London and its soldiers were dying in Soviet and Allies armies fighting Axis for freedom of their country. Also, with your logic, Albania should be excluded. It was taken by Italy in April 1939.

I can't believe Norway and Denmark didn't make the list, also, wtf is South Africa doing here? Wasn't that part of the British Empire?

It's a salutary lesson to me how much we owe to the Soviet Union. However much we may hate it (and, in 2020, Mr Putin) in the West, they virtually won the war for us and it cost them almost as many lives as the rest of the World put together.

Many maps made in the USA suggest otherwise. 1898 to 1949 I believe...

The Position of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are perfect, in North East and in same order as they are on Map. Such a Coincidence

The Westminster Statute of 1931, which practically granted independence was adopted by each of the dominions at different dates. While Canada adopted the statute before 1939 (in 1931) (and South Africa adopted separate laws in 1934), Australia and New Zealand adopted the act at a much later date after 1939 (1942 for Australia, 1947 for New Zealand) due to anti-independence sentiment. Therefore, Australia and New Zealand really shouldn't be there because they weren't independent then (like how we've excluded India and Philippines)

At first I was thinking, "this quiz is really Euro-centric" and then I realized that Italy's war in Ethiopia was prior to 1939 and that SE Asia became independent because of WWII. So many Koreans, Indonesians, Malaysians, Filipinos, Burmese, and Indians died.

So Russia isn't accepted for Soviet Union? That's what I typed and eventually gave up. I know the Soviet Union wasn't Russia back then, but still . . . can you make a type-in?

The Soviet Union's full name was the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" and never included "Russia" (disregarding pre-USSR) in its name until 1991. Plus, "Russia" was not the only part of the whole Soviet Union, it also included present-day European and Asian countries.

If you only want to accept the ‘Soviet Union’ for Russia than you should also only accept ‘Nazi Germany’ and not Germany.

Just gonna use this as a copy-paste for people who think like this: the Soviet Union's full name was the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" and never included "Russia" (disregarding pre-USSR) in its name until 1991. Plus, "Russia" was not the only part of the whole Soviet Union, it also included present-day European and Asian countries.

Don't worry about it. Read the number of comments from people that say that they missed the US. Or Germany. Or Japan. I missed the US when I took this quiz one time :(
