War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Except this quiz.
Based on the date and the invader, guess the country that was invaded.
D-Day was eighty years ago today. Guess the codenames of the five sectors that were stormed by Allied troops on June 6, 1944.
For each selected war, type ANY year during which the war (or series of wars) occurred.

Well, I missed precisely one answer here. No prizes for guessing what it was.

Off to Wikipedia to learn something about a place I've never heard of before...

Hmm... Didn't even bother guessing the U.S. because I knew they hadn't declared war since WWII. Should have considered that it might go the other way...

How can Israel declare war on a state and/or government they don't recognise? Does this mean they recognise the existence of Palestine?
