  3. Very informative and I like this sort of quiz. However, I would have to disagree with the response to #7. What about the “Robstvo” — ? Wasn’t the Ottoman Empire nothing but slavery? Bulgarian were the victims, right? Sadly there is no country that has no history of slavery and/or human trafficking nor do I believe there is any country in which there is not human trafficking even today. Maybe we don’t use the word “slavery” but that is what it is. I just read several articles by and about relatively recent victims of involuntary servitude in Bulgaria where people were taken and locked up and forced to work, mostly in the sex trade.
