more people knew peronists than FARC??? people seem to be living in the past!!

Peronists is much more noted in Europe, although FARC gets abit of press coverage.

At the time this comment was written the government of Argentina was Peronist, so not exactly living in the past.

FARC 'em.

Well, they did make a quite famous musical featuring a certain Eva Peron. And they had Madonna play her in the film so, maybe that jogs a few memories! Lol

England is not a country. Good quiz.

Level 79

Jul 18, 2014

Yes it is. Great quiz.

Level 59

Oct 24, 2014

Not a proper country as in a sovereign state. But it is called a country for ease here in the UK anyway. Even better quiz.

Level 79

Aug 24, 2015

Touché. Though at the time of the Roundheads it would be a country regardless.

Level 23

Jan 8, 2015

It was its own country when the Roundheads were around

Neither is the Roman Empire. Does that mean it can never be an answer to a question about the past? Don't pretend to be so daft.

Palestine is not Israel.

Level 68

Oct 7, 2014

Palestine is not a country. The country in which Hamas principally operates is Israel, though I suppose they also dabble in Egypt.

Level 59

Aug 21, 2015

DB692 - Hamas operates on Israeli land and Hamas believes that land to be their own. As for Palestine being an independent country akin to Vatican City...that's interesting since the Vatican has a single government and borders. Do you consider Hamas to be the governing party and, if so, isn't their agenda to expand their borders at the expense of their neighbors?

Level 72

Aug 22, 2015

Numerous countries (that are UN members) have competing governments: Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, to name a few. Most due to internal conflicts or occupation.

Level 72

Aug 25, 2015

Hamas doesn't operate on Israeli land, it operates in Gaza. Not even Israel openly claims Gaza is Israeli land. And yes, Hamas is the governing party, it won fair elections and so it governs by mandate of the Palestinian people. You don't have to like them, but you do have to recognise their right to govern, just as Palestinians have to recognise Likud's right to govern Israel.

Level 67

Aug 26, 2015

Here Here The Wombat. Personally think you should remove "(Israel)" and leave as Palestine. Vast majority of people think it should be its own country

Level 86

"Hamas doesn't operate on Israeli land"

That would be great indeed

@Conservatopia Are you sarcastically trolling or don't you realize you have that completely bass ackwards?

Level 79

Oct 13, 2021

Conservatopia's reductionist comment would not be correct either forwards or backwards... though many underinformed people believe otherwise, going in one direction or the other. And both of you have been around the site for a while. Suggesting that neither of you are trolling.

Level 68

England was a country during the English Civil War, of which one side was the Roundheads. 20/22, missed Likud and FARC

Level 79

Jul 18, 2014

It's a country now, too.

Level 86

Oct 11, 2016

as much as north Korea is democratic

Level 78

It's a country but it's not sovereign. Do whatever you wish with this information.

Level 24

Jun 12, 2014

Great quiz!

Level 76

Jun 30, 2014

Why did you put "Israel" in brackets for Hamas? Hamas is active in Gaza, and no-one suggests that's a part of Israel.

Level 79

Aug 14, 2018

It was when Hamas was formed.

Level 73

Sep 26, 2019

Purely from a quiz perspective, since Jetpunk doesn't recognize Palestine, it seems strange to require that as the only acceptable answer.

Level 43

Sep 18, 2014

Nice quiz!

Jun 27, 2015

real hard quiz

Level 55

Aug 21, 2015

I used to watch a typical LA Law look-alike programme called Street Legal. I first became aware it was not in fact American but made and set in Canada, when one of the leading characters referred disparaginly to "the Tories". (They could afford to be partisan because I think the Conservatives were down to three seats in Parliament then.)

Level 41

Too US centric

Surprised more people got bull moose than likud. I think Bull Moose hasn't been around for about a century now.

Level 39

I guessed it by which countries have moose. :)

Level 71

Stumped on Bull Moose; I'd already got US (Tea Party) but didn't realise it would appear again.

Level 46

Feb 20, 2024

I tried It again. Knew it had to be English speaking and due to Moose, either Canada or USA

Level 60

21/22. I'd never heard of the Peronists.

Level 46

The root being Peron, Once you see Peron you can guess the country with facility.

Level 43

Aug 23, 2015

If the hint had stated "Solidarnosz" along with "Solidarity" I would have had it. I guess in this case also the percentage of people who didn't get it would be less than 47 %, as the name is not translated in many (major) languages.

Level 80

Nov 14, 2018

You wouldn't have had it because the movement is called Solidarność.

Level 74

Dec 19, 2020

Yeah I bet loads of countries have parties called "Solidarity", although the one here is very famous for various reasons.

Level 57

Oct 12, 2015

Great Quiz.

Level 74

Dec 17, 2015

If there was the orginal name for Solidarity (Solidarność) I would have gotten them all...

Level 36

Apr 20, 2019

Torny81: Who could forget Lech Walesa? His name is synonymous with Solidarity, however you spell it.

Level 59

Feb 26, 2016

Taliban is not limited to Afghanistan.It is a terrorist organisation firmly routed in Pakistan also. Who shot Malala?

yes but you are wrong the Taliban came from Pakistan to Afghanistan which I think is what you mean

Good quiz, missed 2, which is better than I thought I would do.

You could add Pegida for Germa...oh, nevermind, you already have.

You got stuck there!

Level 72

Feb 7, 2017

FARC also operates in Panamanian territory, please add Panama as an acceptable answer.

Level 36

Mar 2, 2017

No! - FARC is known to be a Colombian movement. Just because it may have branched out to Panama (and possibly other nearby countries) does not merit a change in its origin.

Level 74

Dec 19, 2020

What does the "C" in FARC stand for again? I forget...

Level 25

Apr 27, 2021

i guess colombia

Level 59

Scotland also has a socialist movement called Solidarity

Level 20

Apr 17, 2017

heheheh Tea party :)

Level 71

Nov 1, 2017

There's a movement called Hezbollah in Turkey as well which is unrelated to the Lebanese one.

Level 58

Aug 21, 2018

Should add the Rhinoceros Party (USA & Canada) except that it was a satirical party, rather than a political one. *sigh. I really wanted to see them repeal the Law of Gravity.

Level 57

Sep 22, 2019

You forgot the Raving Loony Party.

Level 56

Nov 7, 2019

What demographic did Bolsheviks mostly comprise of?

Level 79

Jul 5, 2020

I assume you may be implying something about Jews being to blame for the movement? But in reality the Bolsheviks were a pretty diverse group, comprising Slavs and non-Slavs, Jews and non-Jews, Christians and atheists from all over the Russian Empire and beyond. But there were many prominent ones who were Russian Jews.

Level 95

Nov 18, 2020

Please accept Kampuchea for Cambodia, especially when talking about the Khmer Rouge.

Level 72

Jun 28, 2021

Whenever I hear the words "cavalier" or "roundhead" I think of the final episode of Keeping Up Appearances where they do a pageant about the English Civil War. :)

Level 72

Mar 28, 2022

Tea Party wasn't really a political movement, but ok

Level 25

Apr 27, 2022

FARC is just a guerrilla/terrorist group that attacks Colombian cities and farmlands once in a while with no consequence at all from the government.

Level 80

Nov 19, 2022

Wasn't Aum really just a cult? Not a movement or a party?

Why jetpunk recognizes Taiwan but not palestine?
