European Geography Quiz

790 Views 20 Votes 43 Comments

Europe is the smallest of the world’s continents, so surely there just can’t be that much to know about it.—Right?

Arguably, Europe isn’t even a real continent, but rather a western appendage on Asia, like a raggedy tail to Asia’s dog. Encompassing less than four million square miles, and fewer than 750 million inhabitants, any quiz about Europe will be a walkover.—Or will it?!

There’s only one way to find out. Do share with us your results 🙂

  1. I went for the easy quiz, 17/19. ?
    Some Corsicans feel Italian, it’s heart-warming. ? (I’m Italian, of course)
    San Marino wants to have some coast so badly. They used to have coasts, otherwise their name wouldn’t make sense, as it has to do with the sea.

    • Egads indeed! I can gloat, but I have a suspicion that if I attempted a similar quiz about North America I’d score similarly 🙂 Setting up these quizzes is itself an education, and I certainly know many facts I didn’t a couple of weeks back! Thanks for playing, Kim 🙂
