Nice quiz, Iceland was part of Denmark at the beginning of the War though. It took control of its internal affairs in 1940 after Germany took Denmark and became formally independent only on 17 June 1944.

Not quite. Iceland gained independence in 1918. However, it was freely associated with Denmark and was a constitutional monarchy which recognized the Danish Royals until 1944.

They lost to the Karelia, Salla and Petsamo to the USSR. The latter gave the Soviets a land border with Norway. Porkkala was also temporarily ceded until it was returned to Finland in 1956.

Surprisingly easy with the main challenge (for those familiar with all countries) being Gdansk.

Exactly -- being Polish doesn't hurt. I tried "danzing", "danzig" then "Free city of Danzing" etc, until I said f-it, gdansk and hurray!

It got forgotten because normally, people think of it after typing in Czechia, but in this quiz, there is no Czechia, only Böhmen und Mähren.

I only knew of Danzig through seeing some old stamps in a collection. Very interesting history.

What's interesting is that the Free City had once existed prior to 1920. Danzig was also a Napoleonic client state between 1807 and 1814.

I think Iceland won independence from Denmark in 1944, so before WWII it wasn't independent!

Iceland became a sovereign state in personal union with Denmark on December 1st 1918, sharing the same monarch until June 17th 1944.

Wow removing Austria really threw me on the placement of Liechtenstein...I thought it'd be all the way at the Eastern end

East end of Switzerland, west end of Austria. East end of Austria is Hungary, which I remember because of the train wreck that used to be Austria-Hungary.

Seems a bit silly to think the full official name would be "much shorter". Either way; no, sorry.

Ok, microscopic and inconsequential nitpick: in 1939 very much the usual thing was to spell Rumania with a u rather than an o in English. Or sometimes with bouth. But relatively rarely just with the o. Which I unfortunately still do, wasting a precious second and a half or something

I actually knew about this, though mostly through old stamps or listings of flags from the 19th century. I will edit the quiz for this spelling to be allowed.
