Not sure why 10 minutes is allocated. I don't type fast but there's basically only seven answers and it took me 19 seconds.

Nice quiz, but often you have left out a second coloniser. For example, South Africa was colonised by the Netherlands and the UK, Namibia by Germany and South Africa, Rwanda & Burundi by Germany and Belgium. Sometimes the coloniser indicated has very little to do with the country, for example the principal coloniser of Sao Tome was Portugal, not Germany. Good concept though.

The Gambia was colonized by the UK, not Portugal
