Countries in World War I (WWI)

Make that 0%

No actually I purposely skipped Germany to bring the percentage down.

I forgot the U.S, and I've been playing Battlefield 1 non stop

OH MY GOD SAME

I forgot France..

Missed Australia and New Zealand

Haven't you heard of the ANZACs (Australia, New Zealand Army Corps) famous for fighting on the Turkish beaches of Gallipoli.

I have heard of ANZAC after eating an Anzac biscuit.

Maybe he isn't a HistoryFan?

Gallipoli was Australia's first major involvement, but by far a more significant contribution was on the western front and in Palestine

Newfoundland is a province in Canada not a country (I'm Canadian)

Not during World War 1 it wasn't. It became a Dominion (self-governing state in the Commonwealth) in 1905, and didn't join Canada until 1949.

They basically joined Canada because the war killed all of their young men therefore they couldn't reproduce. Without Ww1 who knows Newfoundland could be an independent country.

Had no idea about this. Hard for me to understand the concept of a British dominion even after looking it up. Why is it different from a self-governing territory?

I missed Newfoundland, but as soon as I saw it I kicked myself. I knew they weren't part of Canada at that point, I guess I assumed they still counted as the UK at that point.

Learn more about your own country's history, please.

Wow. And stated with such certainty!

I missed Portugal

Too much for little Serbia.

Half a million deaths are too many for any size country. USA lost that many in WWII. Geez.

Serbia lost about a 60% of its male population in WWI.

I think you misunderstood what he said Sifhraven. He was saying that 500,000 is a lot for Serbia considering that the United States lost less than that in WW2

i come from nz and the ANZACs fought there and alot were killed not just a tiny bit

How did only 55% know the Ottoman Empire? How do they think the Middle East was created?

I notice the tagline says '... military deaths during WWII.' Could you change this to 'WWI'?

I found interesting that the Ottomans were still around the 20th century. Can't believe I missed Newfoundland, New Zealand and Australia

Also, was Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia part of Yugoslavia or did Yugoslavia exist later on?

Yugoslavia was found in 1918 after WWI

Croatia was part of Austria-Hungary at the time, while Serbia and Montenegro were independent states. The so-called first Yugoslavia was formed (as "The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes") after WW1.

Oh ok, now I get it

The Ottomans were one of the three (four, if you count Bulgaria) major "Central Powers" of WW1, the others being Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Definitely a major player in WW1, though at this point in European history, 600 years after the its founding, the Ottoman Empire was known as the "sick man of Europe." People had been foretelling it's demise for some time. The rise of Nationalism and defeat in WW1 was what it took to finish it off.

Serbia ? Why not Yugoslavia ? Should be better

Yugoslavia was found after World War I

Probably because Yugoslavia didn't exist but the Kingdom of Serbia did. Austria-Hungary controlled Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina of course, Vojvodina in Serbia, and the northern coastal region of Montenegro. Montenegro controlled most of its own country and a small amount of territory in Kosovo. Serbia controlled most of its own country as well as most of Kosovo and Vardar Macedonia (aka Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). After the war, Yugoslavia was formed by the union of Serbia and Montenegro along with Austria-Hungary's territory mentioned above. Western Slovenia came under Italian control but was added to Yugoslavia after World War II.

I should have read the introduction... I totally missed the dominions.

Japan? Please explain.

They invaded most German Pacific islands.

And captured German possessions in China while Britain took the credit.

I'm glad this quiz finally got made. I feel like this was missing from Jetpunk for years.

Portugal?

They joined in 1916 because of repeated German encroachments into their African colonies and the sinking of Portuguese ships in the Atlantic by German submarines.

before WWII in the 1930s Newfoundland was an English Colony still. I learned this the hardway playing a game called Calm before the Storm, which takes place pre-WWII days, if you were the US and attacked Canada for resources the UK (England) would attack you .

No, India was a colony, not a dominion.

Missed Newfoundland (of course). I KNEW it had to be a country that didn't exist anymore, but couldn't think of what it was.

South Africa was independent during World War I?

I thougth they were a colony of Dutch/English so I kept typing netherlands and thinking I misspelled it.

Can't believe I missed the United States.

RUSSIA WAS USSR / SOVEINT UNION DUMBY

Uh, it was called the Russian empire until the October revolution where it backed out of the war as USSR. Also people always still called it Russia. Before you get angry, get educated

You all probably know what 'Enigma' means. Try my puzzle............... "The CHALLENGE" ............ click on Malbaby and look for it in my Quiz list.

OMG! How in the world did I forget Japan?!?!?! Also bulgaria.

I forgot those two and Italy, how the hell did I forget them?

I am surprised that people discuss here about Serbia and Yugoslavia. Little history lesson. Austira-Hungary attacked Serbia and that is how the World War I started. By the way, Serbia gave a faighting lesson to them in the first few battles.

*cough* Cer and Kolubara *cough*

Missed South Africa and Newfoundland

Newfoundland? Damn

You forgot to add India. 74,187 Indian soldiers died during the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Army_during_World_War_I

It's a shame their sacrifice cant be seperately recognised here, but your reasons are 100% valid.

Please accept USSR or Soviet Union.

Didn't even realise Montenegro existed back then, naively thought it was a new state carved out with the collapse of Yugoslavia.

Got everything but Newfoundland... Never would've guessed it.

Newfoundland wasn't a country. It was part of the UK until 1949 when it joined Canada.

Only if all the other countries are going to have their full names listed as well. And if the Countries of the World quiz changes the UK's current name to "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

Just 19% texted Montenegro... Why???

I was excited for the 100th anniversary, but not enough to celebrate at 5:00 am.

missed the UK. rip me.

I missed the US because in the quiz I put 'US' but it didn't work. Guess it needs the A.

I'm surprised India isn't on here. Was it excluded because it was part of the Empire but a dominion? Over 65,000 Indian troops died in WW1.

lmaoooooo I got all of them including Newfoundland & Labrador except for the Ottoman Empire that's embarrassing

Netherlands had thousands of soldiers and citizens die as they fought against the Germans while they executed the Schlieffen plan.

Wrong. The Schlieffen Plan did not include the invasion of The Netherlands. In World War 1, they respected Dutch neutrality

Newfoundland isn't an actual country. It's literally just Canada.

+1

I got Newfoundland, but i forgot USA :l

your missing Luxembourg with 10 total deaths
