2 things:

1). Saying "people's republics" for Hungary/Poland implies that's when they were communist states, which only happened after WW2 for Poland (which I guess technically is after WW1, but is misleading). You should probably only say "republics" or "re-established as independent states after WW1"

2). Technically Taiwan is still in a state of war with China just like South Korea is still in a state of war with North Korea. The Chinese Civil War didn't have a peace treaty, it just... stopped

It would be helpful to spell out GPI. Not enough time to look it up and then get back to the quiz.

Aren't both "Taiwan" and South Korea at war with another country? Neither the Chinese civil war nor the Korean civil war had a peace treaty and was not over officially.
