Nice quiz. In the question about countries beating the UK in a one-on-one war perhaps accept "ZAR" or "Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek" for South Africa. Technically South Africa didn't even exist back then, the ZAR was a completely different entity to the current South Africa. Thanks.

It was so surprising to me that Afghanistan has a larger population than Australia

I think it should be "Most recent site of the year's deadliest earthquake". Can't believe I missed the first-level provinces question because I was about to try the fourth and fifth answers, but I thought they couldn't be right.

Neither Iceland nor Ireland beat the UK in a war.

The UK was not at war with Iceland, but their fisherman confronted each other over fishing rights. International pressure forced the UK to backed down, which is not the same as winning a war.

Ireland did not fight a traditional war with the UK and again the UK withdrew when the consequences of continuing the war were seen as detrimental to the British people, as the Irish were viewed and that there was sufficient support in Ireland to want independence. As at 1916, support for independence was only at 18% in electoral polls for independence parties, so the "rebels" were seen to be causing conflict against the popular interest.

NB This story is taught differently in Ireland, as the newly independent Ireland was concerned about calls to rejoin the UK.
