Had one attempt for the fun of it....thought I didn't know that much (do know some basics 'cause i studied history). Apparently also some good guesses. Got a 100% at first attempt. Fully surprised myself. xD

With the exception of "Gained independence first" if it has negative connotations choose Haiti. Poorer, dictators, earthquakes, smaller, voodoo...

He's saying it is not negative. The only successful slave rebellion, however it was incredibly bloody and violent.

Bloody and violent, like the slavery they were trying to free themselves from.

It's easy to trace Haiti's poverty to the reparations they were forced to pay France for 'lost property' of slaves. In today's dollars it would be around $21 million USD. Sick and sad.

'smaller' and 'having multiple languages' are not negative. New Zealand is smaller than Australia, and has multiple languages, and we take pride in both of these things.

I found these questions pretty easy and not too interesting. Maybe try to put more challenging questions that don't seem too obvious. If you agree, try adrmcm's quiz series which is very similar to this one, though he started his idea first. Overall, good idea, though changes MUST be made :)

Not sure why it's "easy". I only missed 2, but I mostly guessed. What's easy for you isn't easy for other people.

Because you just have to make educated guesses about the fact that Haiti is poorer than the Dominican Republic to know most of them. @pablo means that it doesn't take any skill or knowledge to get the right answer.

I'm not sure who the 'we' is, but it's spelled in many ways, reflecting the challenges of transliteration and word-borrowing between languages.
