Re: WWII quiz thread
We need some more help. Or give the answer and ask another.

Re: WWII quiz thread
OK. It's time.
My answer is Portugal. Portuguese Timor(nowadays East Timor) was occupied by Japan after Battle of Timor which Japanese fought Australian and Dutch armies(some soldiers were also from UK and US). Some Portuguese colonist did help Allied in guerilla wars, but Portuguese government is neutral because she didn't want to offend either side of the war. By the way, Portugal provided the Azores to Allied as an air base. But she also accepted the protectorate over Macau by Japan. So it's fair that Portugal is neutral throughout the war. And East Timor was occupied by Japanese until the very end of the war. Detailed information:Battle of Timor (1942-43) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: WWII quiz thread
I know my question is really bad, but I really hope that it help anyone enhance his knowledge.
So...let me give another one: Which country was the first to be liberated by the Allied? It's an easy one maybe.

Re: WWII quiz thread
French Morocco is "liberated" (I hate that word) before Tunisia, no? Vichy-France, which is an Axis puppet, controls it.
Oh wait, but French Morocco, like the Solomons, is a colony and not a country. Damn, yet another good brain teaser

Re: WWII quiz thread
Ethiopia or rather Abissynia. 1941 British offensive "liberated" this country from Italian occupation which started in 1936.
I'm sure I'm right. But do you know that Ethiopians claim that this was start of British occupation?  Everything is relative... Cheers, Lancer44

Re: WWII quiz thread
Correct.
Ethiopia was undeniably "liberated" by Allied forces. She was made something like a puppet after it. So it's your turn.
