Travel the World by Historical People

In this quiz, you are given the name of a famous historical figure. To answer, type in the name of the country they were from. Each answer is a country which borders the previous answer.
Answers are based on present-day countries rather than historical polities. So someone born in a former British colony is classed as a citizen of that present-day country, rather than the UK.
Some of these famous people are dual-nationals.
