Nice quiz! I was wondering how to add a map like this to a quiz. Is there a website you could link me to?

No there is not. You need to learn how to use softwares that can open svg files (inkscape for example). Try youtube, there you can finb a lot of videos about that.

Did the Ottoman Empire not have territories in Europe, or am I making that up?

Level 44

Jan 30, 2017

It looks like the Ottoman Empire did have some land in Europe, but most of it was in Asia. I think the Ottoman Empire was probably left out of this quiz for the same reason Turkey is considered part of Asia (ethnically they are more Asian than European). I hope that helps answer your question.

Level 73

May 23, 2017

But with the capital at Istanbul, they still should be considered a European nation in my opinion.

Level 72

Aug 6, 2017

Actually, Istanbul is split between Europe and Asia.

Level 86

Jan 28, 2020

The palace is in Europe though.

Level 33

Mar 11, 2020

I agree, but the main reason russia is put in europe is because the capital city is in europe, and istanbul was the capital city of the ottoman empire.

Level 65

Dec 16, 2020

The Palace hadn't really been used by the ottomans genuinely for a long time

Level 71

Jun 8, 2024

But the administrative centre was still in Europe, so his point stands.

Alsace-Lorraine was part of Germany until 1918 (treaty of Versailles), but, great quiz!

Correct, the quiz needs fixing there

Also, didnt know that south Tyrol was part of Auatria-Hungary :) So I learned somethig, too.

Please correct the Alsace-Lorraine border.... and the Ottoman Empire should be considered here (including Cyprus) above all as its capital city was in Europe!

Level 24

Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by Germany in 1871 during the Franco-Prussian war. But other than that, I liked this quiz.

Can you accept 'Rumania' for Romania?

Level 81

Oct 30, 2019

Why?

+13

Level 78

Nov 6, 2019

Because Rumania was predominantly used as the country's name until the late 1900s. Since this is a historical quiz, Rumania should be accepted because it was the most common spelling at the time.

Level 63

Sorry, didn't see your comment until now, but what HinesBrothers said.

Nov 6, 2019

I was just about to make the same request

Level 76

Feb 20, 2020

Interesting I wasnt aware of the distinction. Though English isnt my language, nor am I from Romania. I have no idea if in my language there is a distinction, it is written Roemenïe which sounds like rumaniuh (nearly rumenia)

Level 55

May 21, 2022

Don't you mean Roemenië?

Level 63

Mar 6, 2024

I thought this was one of those random spelling requests, but Rumania actually does seem like the right answer here.

Level 46

Mar 6, 2020

I don't think it's fair to accept Austria for the Austria-Hungary answer. It's people's own fault if they don't know the name the whole point of this quiz I thought was to correctly name the countries. By doing it this way it's simple because you can just list off random European countries anyway

Level 55

France did not have Alsace Lorraine during WW 1. It belonged to the German Empire. They conquered it during the Franco-Prussian war of 1871. Please check your history first before making these maps.

Level 31

someone has probably already told you this, but there are some minor issues with this map. The Netherlands looked a lot different back then - a lot of the land there we see today is actually reclaimed land, there was basically a giant hole in it back then. Also Alsace-Lorraine, but I think some people have already said that. Great quiz though!!

Why is Iceland on the map?

Level 81

Mar 5, 2021

Why not?

Level 77

Apr 22, 2022

Iceland is a figment of our imagination perpetuated by Bjork and it should not be on this or any other map.

Level 68

The map was so much simpler back then.

Map is wrong. Germany controlled Alsace Lorrain from unification to the end of WW1.

Belgium was a tad smaller in the east back then, some German territory was ceded to Belgium for reparations after the war.

Level 51

Jan 18, 2022

alcase lorraine was German territory in 1914

Level 56

Don't think Austria should be acceptable for Austria Hungary. There's a difference.

Level 55

Malta is yellow on the map, like it should be an option.

Level 55

Unless it's just bugged out for me.

Level 60

Aug 5, 2022

Malta was part of UK.

Level 54

Aug 5, 2022

Yes, but on the quiz it is shown as yellow, like it should be an answer but it is not.

Level 46

May 5, 2022

what about the ottomans

Level 92

Oct 15, 2022

Exact same reason Turkey isn't on the modern list of Europe.

Level 71

Jun 8, 2024

But the Turkish capital is in Asia, whereas the Ottoman capital was in Europe, the same situation that Russia is in today, but Russia is still considered to be European on Jetpunk and in this quiz.

Easy, but could you give germany alsace-lorraine from France, and give austria hungary that dip-down area near Galicia?

Level 36

May 10, 2023

so much easier since most of eastern/central europe are part of Austria, Russia, or Germany

Level 61

May 31, 2023

The Greek islands of Rhodes and Karpathos (visible on the map) were occupied by Italy back then.

Level 58

Oct 23, 2023

I don't think anyone has told you yet, but Alsace-Lorraine was German :)

Also Southern Dobruja was Romanian at the time (annexed from Bulgaria after the Second Balkan War).
