Tianjin should definitely be there, its urban area comprises 10 million people and it was controlled by the japanese. Other big cities like Chengdu and Chongqing were not, so this quiz is quite subtle.
Mogadishu is just barely beaten out. Addis Ababa, however, should be included since its metro area exceeds 4 million and it was a part of Italian East Africa from 1936-1941. Surely Quizmaster knows about the Abyssinian Crisis and its role in the downfall of the League of Nations.
lol you must be a south vietnam loser. When I visited Vietnam they used both names interchangeably. At the airports for example, they would say flights to Ho Chi Minh.
To answer Lomeo, Ho Chi Minh City is the technical name for the large metropolitan government covering several thousand square kilometers. The urban city is still named Saigon and is what everybody I've ever known from Vietnam calls it.
Whether people from the southern part of the country are losers is your own bigotry. Seeing as the actual natives of Saigon are from the south, they should know the city better than others I would think though.
I'm always surprised by the numbers. For instance, 800.000 people live in Amsterdam and 600.000 in Rotterdam. There are of course relatively big cities around those two cities but I cannot believe they make up for 2.43 m and 3.20 m respectively for A'dam and R'dam.
Baghdad was ruled for a few weeks by a group of pro-Axis Iraqi generals, who were supported by (a few) planes of the German and Italian air forces. Not sure if it should count.

At least in an other quiz it is above 2.2 million...
Stuttgart has about 650k inhabitants, plus 2 million is ridiculous! Who defines these areas???
