In the comments, it's hard to determine who has a legitimate concern about the answers, and who's misunderstanding the purpose of the quiz. If you're commenting to tell me that some of the clues have multiple answers, please read the description first

I think there may be an error with Madagascar assuming that it didn't see action in WWII. The island was invaded by South African and British troops during the war. I had to guess to finish the quiz, just check this or maybe I am missing something?

Didn't know that, but have replaced it with Sao Tome, which should fix the problem. Thanks!

The first clue says saw action in WW2, Java, GB, Singapore, Madagascar, Iceland and Okinawa all definitely fit this criteria.

Agree with the above comments that there is too much overlap with some of the answers. That said, I love these types of quizzes.

There is more than one solution to this puzzle. For example:

Entirely urbanized: Manhattan

Once home to the world's tallest building: Great Britain
