Holland and Yugoslavia (Serbia)?

 

Almost but not quite as Fields pointed out. And I believe the Serbian flag has a crest on it also.

 

Italy's is green, red and white while Ireland's is gold or orange (it varies), green and white.

The white and green are in the same place on each, and the red and gold/orange take up the final third.

 

The correct answer is Mali and Guinea.

 

Correct. I would have accepted Mali and Guinea or the more obvious one Republic of Ireland and the Ivory Coast.

 

Your question fish :)

On what date did Allied (British, US, Commonwealth, Polish, Free French etc, but NOT Soviet) troops land on mainland Europe to stay?

 

By stay I mean not an SAS/Commando/OSS/SOE operation, but a full-scale invasion.

As in D-day? 6th June 1944.

 

NO!

Get out.

 

That's D-day...6/6/1944.

 

NO!

Get out.

 

Or do you mean the invasion of Italy on the 3rd September 1943?

 

YES!

It's the one everyone seems to forget. People don't seem to realise that Italy is part of Europe.

In fact, on July 4th 1944, two days before D-Day, the allies took Rome, which, the last time I checked, was on mainland Europe.

 

Your question, Zell.

As much as I love all the knights and crusades and stuff I know nothing of them.

I thought the questions were getting hard straight away. I didnt know the answer to the first question.

Constantinople? (or Istanbul as it's known now).

 

Been a while since i've studied the crusades.

 

Good call. Along the way they also attacked Zara which was a Christian city in the Balkans...that was mainly revenge ordered by the Venetian contingent.

 

Your turn.
