Did the Ottoman Empire not have territories in Europe, or am I making that up?

It looks like the Ottoman Empire did have some land in Europe, but most of it was in Asia. I think the Ottoman Empire was probably left out of this quiz for the same reason Turkey is considered part of Asia (ethnically they are more Asian than European). I hope that helps answer your question.

But with the capital at Istanbul, they still should be considered a European nation in my opinion.

I agree, but the main reason russia is put in europe is because the capital city is in europe, and istanbul was the capital city of the ottoman empire.

Can you accept 'Rumania' for Romania?
+2
Level 78
Oct 30, 2019
Why?
+11
Level 75
Nov 6, 2019
Because Rumania was predominantly used as the country's name until the late 1900s. Since this is a historical quiz, Rumania should be accepted because it was the most common spelling at the time.

I don't think it's fair to accept Austria for the Austria-Hungary answer. It's people's own fault if they don't know the name the whole point of this quiz I thought was to correctly name the countries. By doing it this way it's simple because you can just list off random European countries anyway

France did not have Alsace Lorraine during WW 1. It belonged to the German Empire. They conquered it during the Franco-Prussian war of 1871. Please check your history first before making these maps.

someone has probably already told you this, but there are some minor issues with this map. The Netherlands looked a lot different back then - a lot of the land there we see today is actually reclaimed land, there was basically a giant hole in it back then. Also Alsace-Lorraine, but I think some people have already said that. Great quiz though!!
