It's definitely a -ch sound so Why on the earth It would be Sotsi? I really don't understand some of you guys typing mistakes.

Paris (from June 1944 onwards) and Tours (briefly in 1940) were also 5-letter French capitals in World War 2.

There are actually quite a few former capitals of Japan whose English names have 5 letters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_of_Japan. Other than the currently accepted answer, the most well-known are probably Asuka, Osaka, and Heian.

Though I will readily admit that anyone who has heard of these (especially Heian) has probably also heard of the currently accepted answer ;)

Shouldn’t the “France in WW2 be changed to “Vichy France?” The capitals both have five letters. Although Vichy France is kind of a giveaway, so maybe something else?

Missing Vichy was one of the more frustrating experiences on this site. I am a major WW2 buff. I use the term 'Vichy France' all the time. I do not know why it slipped my mind in this instance. It's like forgetting how to ride a bike. Maybe I should get better sleep or something.

Uluru is not another name for Ayer's Rock. Should probably be "formerly known as Ayer's Rock." Its considered to be a bit of a dogwhistle to call it Ayer's Rock

Isn’t Jordan part of the Levant?

(Also I know may have wanted to make the quiz a little harder but Paris and Tokyo are also 5 letters long)

To be fair, Paris was legally still the capital of France during the nazi occupation. It is however true that the collaborationist government was in Vichy. I think that it should be mentioned as the "de facto capital" in the quizz.

Similarly, Amsterdam is only considered as the capital of the Netherlands because the Constitution says so. All institutions, including the Parliament, the PM, the King, the embassies, international courts, etc, are located in the Hague.

I remember that when I was in middle school, the history teacher often pointed out that it is technically inaccurate to say that Vichy was the capital of France. By the way, another common misconception about this period is thinking that the anthem was "maréchal, nous voilà" (the song of the collaborationist regime), because it was still legally the Marseillaise.
