Kept putting in Clemenceau and wondering why the name didn't work. Realized it was president and not prime minister. Sometimes it helps to read the question. Great quiz!

I was also thinking of Clemenceau though I couldn't remember his name exactly, in spite of doing a research project on him in 9th grade. Still, got most of these right. The taunt on the front page was wrong!

Yes, the question about France should be about Clemenceau as PM because he was really the one in control of France during the later stages of the war. I have not made an extensive study of the presidency vs. the prime minister under the French 3rd Republic, or whether the presidency became more powerful under De Gaulle and the French 5th Republic, but I DO know that in WWI, it was the Tiger of France who was calling the shots when the last shots were fired.

President certainly became more powerful in the 5th republic, but I don't know how it worked in the 3rd.

This has been changed. I didn't realize that the Prime Minister was the most important official in France back then.

Not to pile on--okay, I'm piling on--but in all of the photos of the Allied leaders at Versailles it was Clemenceau, not Poincare, I the picture. See, e.g., https://www.loc.gov/item/2016646069/.

I actually find WW1 more interesting personally. I'm not sure I know more about WW1 than WW2, but if I could be an expert on just one of them I'd choose WW1.

I am sad with the fact that this quizes are so western oriented. There was war on Balkans and Eastern front also. By the way, breakthrough of Balkan front was a seal to Allied victory in WW1.

Why no Italy? Why no Japan? Why no lots of other things to do with the war? It's a short quiz, you can't cover everything (although the quiz probably is too west-centric)

Because this isnt WWII

Also Italy and Japan weren't really relevant. If the Italians and Austrians fought twelve battles at the same location we can safely leave them out

Both Italy and Japan were combatants in the First World War, they didn't just fight in the Second. Both Italy and Japan felt snubbed by the Western Allies, despite being on the winning wide, and this led to a sense of resentment that fed into the political mix on the 1920s and 1930s in their respective countries. Both countries were part of the war, and one of them could easily have had a question about them as much as Serbia deserves.

Though I understand the audience aren't necessarily British/French, I feel like the leaders of both should be more well-known considering how those two countries (and their empires) were the main opponents to the Central Powers.
