Interesting quiz. Nepal wasn't a British colony though and it would probably assist if there was a bit more consistency with how you group countries together. For example the British Raj typically includes Myanmar (Burma). To improve the quiz I would either use the "groupings" as at WWII or as in modern times to avoid confusion. Nice to see recognition for countries other than the UK and the dominions for their contribution to the war.
