@CosmicGate184 Sorry to barge into conversation but I am from Ukraine and Yugoslavia was our first mission in UN, and when peacekeepers from the West fled away from Srebrenica and others, Ukrainian troops defended Zepa despite threats by Serbs to be head them, and prevented a massacre. Very proud of our boys on their first mission instead of trying to be well-liked and going the path of least resistance, standing their ground and saving Bosnian lives from those who we now call "the Balkan rusnia". Oh, and we also still haven't forgiven bloc voting taking away Eurovision victory in 2007, where Serduchka had obviously better remembered song than Molitva.

3:41 That's actually Corsica, home of Napoleon, that's how I remembered that it's part of Fraaaaance not Italy. Right below it is Sardinia and the big Island at the tip of Italy's shoe is the famous mafia land, Sicily. The group of Islands to the left are Balearic, larger one is Majorca, and smaller is Minorca, third I forgor. The two Islands on the right side are famous from classical Greece, one closer to Turkey is the one they fight about, Cyprus. Independent state. The other, closer to Greece and part of it, is Crete, the one with the Minotaur and Icarus. This leaves Malta as the dot below Sicily! TBH I probably learned most of the Mediterranean more form computer strategy games which always have it.

@olenilsen4660 Malta is really easy on this test! I tried before watching and it's the only country I couldn't miss because it's just a circle. Kept missing Balkan countries.

This test is infuriating! I tried it and somehow keep missing by a millimeter. Also, the way I memorized Central Europe is reminding myself that it's Czecho-Slovakia and Austro-Hungary below it. Left to right. Watch THE BRIDGE (it's a great detective series) to remember Sweden borders Denmark across... a bridge. Balkans would be hard but it's microstates (except Malta) that I can't pinpoint. Kudos on hitting Romania I live near it and still can't with how it's squeezed in the middle. Edit: but finding it has NEXT button lets you wait to get outlines for the tiny countries so it's possible to 100%

@CosmicGate184 well yeah that's what I said, Western peacekeepers, including guys from Netherlands stationed around Srebrenica failed Bosnians, while Ukrainian peacekeepers in a different village, Zepa, fulfilled their mission and prevented a horrible crime against humanity.
