Re: # 10 - if you said just in the European theater, the answer could be debateable, but the question implied all of WW2 - if you include victory in the Pacific, you HAVE to say USA. ---

Was Petrograd when USSR was founded, became Leningrad in 1924, then St. Petersburg (which had been its original name) in 1991 12. That sports feud’s gymnastics question lingers in my mind 13. Does any language use another term for the satellite 14. While the Soviets certainly contributed, it took the atomic bomb to finally end the war ---

We’re wandering off-topic, but I always figured that defeating Germany was the point of World War II. Japan, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Thailand, and Finland had no chance of winning on their own. The industrial manufacturing ratio of the United States and Japan was 7:1. Defeating Japan was something the United States did in its spare time. ---

It’s just a different word (and admitttely a different language) than I used 🙂 No, it’s the same language, they’re different foods: pirogi and bliny are both Russian foods, but bliny are pancakes and pirogy is some sort of pastry. ---
