Hey, I really enjoyed this quiz!

One suggestion I would make is to perhaps allow 'Sweden' as an acceptable response for 'Sweden-Norway', just as a 'Austria' is for 'Austria-Hungary'.

I was also a little confused by the blanks in the 'what they got' section, as I thought we had to fill them separately, so maybe clarify that we don't have to in the description? - but that might just be me being an idiot haha

Thanks for making the quiz :D
