When you zoom in on some of the flags it displays the name if you would like I would gladly remove the text that gives away the answer but it's up to you. The one I spotted was 'Barbados' but I'm quite sure there are more
since the british are so bad at making flags
since some countries are not very original when it comes to making flags.
Malaysia was a bit more complicated back then. By 1921, most of Malaysia wasn't federated yet and a lot of the sultanates that today make up the country were administratively separate protectorates. While western modern-day Malaysia was unified by the end of World War II and gained independence in 1957 as Malaya, the eastern British holdings (British North Borneo and Sarawak) and Singapore (later expelled in 1965) would join Malaya in 1963 to form Malaysia. Brunei would remain British until 1984.
Excellent quiz. Using only the old names is a brilliant way to further expand the knowledge of those interested in geography and history. Quite a few I knew and I realise my memory is on its way out. Basutoland, Somaliland, Nyasaland and a few others had me cursing myself when I missed them. The flag idea is great. I hope you go far, young man/young lady. All the best.
Also, I just realized that Goa and other European Possessions in India are missing on the map
Aden: A L L O F T H E S A N D
since the british are so bad at making flags
since some countries are not very original when it comes to making flags.
So why is this one here....
