Number 15 is a little bit disputable, because some Austrians died at peacekeeping missions (especially cyprus, golan-heights). They aren't many (around 50), but still more than 0)
Noted. Personally I wouldn't consider those to be combat casualties. It doesn't really matter for the question, however, since "neither" is not an option, and Australia is obviously incorrect.
I can't believe I brainfarted on the first question and put both. One of those automatic thinking moments, wonder what reasoning behind it my brain had.
There are more people who speak German than speak Latin, so by rights there should be more people who know of 'Österreich' as the etymological origin of Austria's name than know of 'Terra Australis' as the etymological origin of Australia's. Obviously you were the exception there.
Thank you for finally making a test where at least some of Austria is featured! I am from Linz, Upper Austria. I find our country should be acknowledged a bit more, because it has played a great role in European History and isn't all to bad when it comes to economy and architecture. For everyone here, Austria is definitely worth a visit!!! :-)
That is the annoying part about beautiful European cities like Vienna or Salzburg, but I also recommend trying things that aren't as famous, such as places like the Neusiedler See or the forests and hills in Upper Austria, which are great for hiking and also give off a fairytale vibe, almost like Vienna.
You need an update in the notation about the names being cardinal directions. 'Australia' means 'Southern', not 'Southern Land'. This was true when it was called 'Terra Australis' (literally Southern Land), which it was shortened to once discovered (previously theorised as Terra Australis Incognita - Unknown Southern Land). Since then, it evolved from Terra Australis to simply Australia. Just Southern, no Land.
That makes no sense. The -ia ending on the Latin root austral- (hence 'australis' but 'australem' and 'australibus') is very commonly used in country names to mean 'land of', whether that be refering to a river (India is the land of the Indus), a person (Bolivia is the land of Simon Bolivar), a people (Czechia is the land of the Czechs) or anything else. So Australia as 'austral'+'ia' is 'Land of the South', or Southern Land.
Not bad for a 64yr old Scotsman living in France!
It must be because it is 9am and I have not had a drink yet!!!!
(This might be a joke but idk)
