I agree with the quiz being this way and it seems obvious because there were two Germanys at this point in history and it's staring you right in the face on the map and the convention in English is and always has been to call them East Germany and West Germany.... but if Germany is not accepted for West Germany on this quiz then why would it be on certain other quizzes. I recall one of mine in particular that was featured and had the type-ins changed to accept only Gemany without the West.

Kal, you are not making sense. The map of 1946 Germany on this quiz is incorrect, and even though it is staring us right in the face it is still not true. If you check the facts, you learn that in 1946 there was still officially only one Germany.

People are definitely correct about Germany, the two states were both founded in 1949. At least accept FRG (Federal Republic of Germany) and GDR (German Democratic Republic) for the incredibly inaccurate East and West Germany. At that time Germans were still considering East Germany to be those bits they lost in 1945, which have bave part of Poland and Russia for so long now that it is easy to forget how people felt about them back then.

How is it "incredibly inaccurate?" You have some alternative compass that you are using? Would you say North and South Korea is also "incredibly inaccurate?" That's not what Koreans call the countries. But that couldn't possibly be more irrelevant to an English-language quiz site where the answers are in English and the convention has always been to refer to the countries as such.

Assuming this quiz is fixed e.g. by changing the year to 1949, it would seem reasonable to accept both the official country names (Federal Republic of Germany, or FRG in short, and German Democratic Republic, or GDR), as well as the widely-used West Germany and East Germany for the purposes of this and other quizzes. Maybe even the German abbreviations BRD and DDR could be considered. However, for 1946 those names are irrelevant.

We call it BRD. I guess it‘s better in line because DDR has 3 words, so both being 3 makes sense.

Really Germany from 1945 till 1948 was divided up into 5 major Occupied Zones. British / American / Soviet / French with Berlin under Allied Military Administration. Also Poland annexed an area adjoining the Soviet sector. There was no clear cut division West / East.

Just wondering - why is it spelled "slov" in Czechoslovakia, Slovakia, and Slovenia, but it is spelled "slav" in Yugoslavia? Is there a difference in meaning between "slov" and "slav"?

Jan 29, 2017
Oh nice question! :D

Well, in my language, Serbian (and probably most other Slavic languages) we don't say "Slavs", we say "Sloveni", so that's why it is spelled with an "O" in most of the countries.

Be careful with changing dates to solve German problem. Trieste was a truly independent state "under direct responsibility of U.N. Security Council" from 1947 to 1954. However Saar was only a French protectorate, despite having an international football team.

Saarland also had its own citizenship, own flag, and (very briefly) its own currency. It would not be wrong to count it as a country (IMHO). Then again, I think it is not wrong to not count it as a country :-) Don't know what the official criteria are for being a country.

Nitpickers aside, this was an excellent quiz! I guess that by time I began school, Germany had been divided, so I had no issue with the East/West thing; though we did learn them as the German Federal Republic (West) and the German Democratic Republic (East).

Your hints are not correct. Neither East Germany nor West Germany existed in 1946; they were founded only three years later. In 1946, there were only the four zones. You should change that.

Turkey is mainly located in Asia via Anatolia Peninsula (Asia Minor) however there is a good chunk of Turkey in Europe. The reason why it's excluded might be its capital placement but I can't say the same thing for Malta and Cyprus.

Edit: I forgot Malta and Cyprus were colonized by the British.

Some Austrian politicians formed a government and declared a separate Austrian state in April 1945, which was eventually recognised by the Allies and allowed to even conduct foreign relations such as Danube Comission. They also had regular elections. So yeah, undisputedly a separate country albeit still occupied.

This map rather seems like a map of 1955 Europe (or Europe between 1955 and 1989) - both Austria and the two Germanies did not exist at the time (Austria unified and formed in 1955, Germanies in 1949). This is not about 'technicality' but the in an actual sense, no German or Austrian nation existed - the allies actually dissolved them all as occupation zones (unlike Japan or Italy).

Also, plz accept BRD for West Germany if you are going to keep the map as it is.

Definite agreement with everyone who says this is a 1955 map, not a 1946 map. There were no 'West Germany' and 'East Germany' until 1949 although there was a non-sovereign occupied Austria. Also, there are other borders that weren't settled until the Treaty of Paris 1947, and the border in the Trieste area wasn't made definite until 1954.
