Great quiz! Just out of curiosity, why did you include the "Kingdom of Vandals and Alans"? I don't know what that is (well, I've heard of the Vandals as one of the groups that sacked Rome, but don't know much beyond that), so I'd love it if you could enlighten me!
The Alans were an Iranian people that formed a pretty important part of that kingdom. They originally settled all the way in the Caucasus region and migrated all the way to western Europe, even setting up a short-lived "Kingdom of the Alans" in what is now Spain and Portugal.
curoius as to why you call it iranian peoples as opposed to persian people.
Iran as a term is as far as im aware new only being used after the desposal of the shah.
I was also not aware the alans were iranian i always thought they were germanic alon with the goths (although there are arguments for the goths being slavic not germanic.)
Iranians are a collection of ethnic groups like Kurds Lurs Persians Pashtuns Balochis Talysh Gilakis Mazandaranis Ossetians and Caucasian tat
So it would be false just to call it Persian because Persians aren’t the only Iranian peoples
I’m a Kurd myself and the Kurds in iran don’t call themselves Persian
Ik u might have been confused and thought it was a mono ethnic country I wouldn’t blame u Persians are the biggest population of Iranian ethnicities and have been the most dominant historically
And the country of Iran was called Persia for a while so it makes sense why u would think that only Persians would live there or it makes sense why u wouldn’t have known about the other groups
