Has UK ever controlled Abidjan (Ivory Coast)? I believe it hasn't

I checked online. It never did, unless there was one of those quirky historical moments when the British Crown technically owned the city for a few weeks due to a random treaty that was later rewritten.

You're right, mixed up Accra and Abidjan without realizing, will update the quiz

Had to look it up but Great Britain did control Florida for 20 years -- 1763 to 1783. Learned something new today.

Pretty sure you swapped Ghana and Ivory Coast, the UK has controlled the former, not the latter, thus controlling Accra and not Abidjan. Great quiz nonetheless.

Alexandria, Jaipur, Faisalabad, and Nagpur are missing the last zero. By the way, the quiz doesn't update unless you hit "Resubmit", which is why the changes that the users mentioned above do not show up in this quiz
