If the QM had worded it as the people who LEFT Eastern Canada, then the answer "Acadian" makes sense, but since it refers to the people who *settled* there – and I understood "people" to mean people in the general sense, such as "the Columbian people" or "We the people" or "People of the Book" as opposed to only the actual people who arrived at the time of the migration – then I feel the answer is more appropriately "Cajun". It makes sense to accept both, no?
agree with ander217 but for slightly different reason Cajun is the more common way to refer to the ethnic group that exists today in Louisiana. here is a possible resource https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun
please consider accepting. otherwise nice quiz that I could score 100% on with that answer.
Great quiz, thank you. I thought the answer was 'The Great Depression' but, whatever I typed in, it wouldn't work. Perhaps I was typing too fast and made a typo, but I thought I would mention it, in case a greater number of possible type-ins could help help future players. Thanks again.
Saying that the division was between democratic and communists states is not the most accurate. First because `democracy` has more than one meaning depending to who you ask. Democracy does not necessarily mean free elections. Not to say that Spain and Portugal were dictatorships during a part of the cold war
The question accurately reflects Churchill's Sinews of Peace speech, where he coined the term (in terms of the Cold War, he more or less coined it). He specifically said that the Soviet sphere of influence had led to totalitarian police states east of the curtain (except Greece). He also pointed out that the democratic countries of Europe, who had free elections, were west of the curtain (note that he never claimed ALL countries of western Europe were democratic).
There was a clear distinction between the western democracies and the Russian sphere of influence in terms of both humans rights and democratic rights. I don't think there's much of a case to be made against this concept, honestly.
I typed dtp for the insecticide. Close enough! I guess there was a trace of it (the answer, not the insecticide...) somewhere in my brain, wherever it came from... it is too close to be random...
It relates to the Spanish fleet question. There is a famous speech that she is said to have given to the troops preparing to defend England from the attack.
Can you accept Choucrout for Sauerkraut? Might be a stretch, given that English uses the German word, but alas, I could only recall the French version.
The first answer is commonly referred to as "la Armada Invencible" in Spanish history. It is fun because it turned out to be not that invicible, after all.
I see that English Wikipedia also gives the alternative name of "the Invincible Armada".
It would be a nice touch to accept this alternative name.
