Independence from Whom? - Multiple Choice

Yes, I agree. There were multiple questions where the country had gained independence from multiple options at different times. Could you specify 'What country did they gain independence from the latest'?

Interesting quiz, and I definitely learned something with regards to Uruguay. But I would agree about some of these being debatable or wrong. Cuba and North Korea are both wrong here. Cuba definitely gained their independence from Spain. And Korea had been under Japanese control prior to WWII, so I think it would be a stretch to say they gained their independence from a country that briefly governed and helped them establish their own government. Probably the best think to do here would be to just remove Cuba and North Korea altogether, as there are certainly other countries who have a more clear-cut independence history.

I got it and assumed that what I guessed was the correct answer, but, 3 is a little contentious... the Philippines declared independence from Spain on June 12, 1898, during the Spanish-American War. This is still the date that Filipinos celebrate their independence to this day.

After the Spanish-American War, the Spanish ceded control of the Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, but the Philippines had already declared their independence. From the American perspective, at that point, the Philippines became an American possession with an ongoing insurrection, but from the Filipino perspective they became an independent country under a prolonged foreign occupation.

The mostly-American-controlled Philippines were then invaded by Japan in December of 1941 and fully occupied by the Japanese by 1942... at that point, the archipelago were de facto a part of the Japanese Empire, just like they had previously been a de facto territory of the United States. but...

Nice quiz, missed Singapore (had no idea Malaysia controlled them prior to independence) and Venezuela (again had no idea). Was the Colombia being referred to Gran Colombia by any chance?
