The Last Country to Occupy Each European Country

Good quiz!

Agreed

Not sure I understand the logic for UK.

UK isn't on the quiz. Was this a recent change?

Iceland was most recently occupied by the United States, I believe.

Baxtergrad is correct....during WW2, the UK took over Iceland to prevent it from being used by Germany as Uboat base. Even before the US joined the war, they took over the occupation so the British could focus on home defense. Canada was also there helping both. It was a rather benign occupation.

Also, following Fascist Italy's collapse, the Germans occupied Monaco.

As an Andorran, I don't think "1512-Aragon" is a correct answer. I'm not sure what are you referring to, but Andorra became an independent country by 1278 and has not been invaded since (too small, poor and remote to be worth the effort).

As far as I know, the last time a foreign army invaded Andorra belonged to the count of Foix, and was shortly before that.

According to Wikipedia, Andorra was annexed to Aragon in 1512. If we have the text "occupied/annexed" in the bullet point at the top, that should be fine.

Since the word "occupy" is used, wouldn't the French occupation during the Spanish Civil War (1936) count?

What a great idea

I think the best answer for the UK if you want to keep it in would be Normandy/France

How did Soviet Union occupy Poland? 🤔 They went through on their way on Berlin, but afterwards Poland was left in the hands of satellite Communist government, but Polish government nonetheless.

Also Czechoslovakia hardly occupied Slovakia 🙄

Slovakia was occupied by Soviet troops during 1945 towards the end of WW2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia_during_World_War_II). Your caveat says "if the country hasn't been occupied, then the country they became independent from is the answer". Soviet Union should therefore be the answer for Slovakia, not Czechoslovakia.

Yes but your caveat says occupation takes precedence and only if a country wasn't occupied would receiving independence become relevant.

Oh wow, OK I see where you're coming from now. That way of looking at this quiz does not seem intuitive to me and probably needs to be made a lot more obvious. You should put a caveat at the top to make it clear that you are only looking for occupation "since independence or self-government".

Nice quiz, congrats on the spotlight!

Really nice quiz, would be more enjoyable with a yellow box as you can just type USSR or UK and get like 10 countries.

You could make a version with a yellow box for an extra challenge.

Can you accept anything containing 'Allies' and 'Axis' for 'WWII Allies' and 'WWII Axis'?

Great quiz!
