Great concept, less-than-great execution. Would love if you spent some time cleaning it up. Thanks.

I have *no idea* what this quiz is looking for. The instructions are super vague (I was wondering for a solid minute if you were looking for the place that the treaty was signed or something), and e.g. not accepting "France" for "French Empire" is a very weird choice.

An instruction like "Name the country that each country was part of before it gained independance" would be better--but I still find not accepting "France" or "Belgium" super weird. Also, "Qing Dynasty" isn't a country---which takes me back to not understanding what this quiz is supposed be about.
