Why is this quiz mostly dedicated to Finland and Bulgaria?

 

Because both Lord and me are keen on history and have to pay some tribute to our own countries after all.

[Luciana]

Hmmm, then I should prepare one about big Yugoslavian Kingdom Times of some old glories and imperials

 

This quiz is boiling up and becoming harder and harder, I don't have time to google that much

 

Maybe I know the answer for 4th question! Is it Inter? Because I'm their fan and I know that Inter is short from Internazionale! 

 

Hm?

[ValDes]

OK.

 

1) Name two non-Italian gangsters who made Las Vegas to gambling center?

 

2) Who followed Salvatore Toto Riina as leader of Corleonesi Cosa Nostra-clan?

 

3) Which was codename for Counter-guerrilla operation during Cold War for example in Italy and Turkey?

 

4) Which football club in Europe accepts players only from one nationality and which nationality it is?

 

5) Who ex-President of Finland has got Nobel Peace Prize?

 

1) - Meyer Lansky, can't reckon anyone else non-Italian

2) - Provenzano (thank you, wiki)

3) - Gladio (thank you Google)

4) - no idea

5) - Marti Ahtisaari

[LordCronal]

1) Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel.

2) Bernardo Provenzano indeed.

3) Operation Gladio, yes. Though in Turkey also name Ergenekön was used. Current Ergenekön, which members have been lately in court, might have roots from that.

4) Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and only Basques are accepted.

5) Martti Ahtisaari, yes. One of those who were more popular in world than in own country.

So, it is done.

Dooooooooh, I was sure I guessed 4th

[ValDes]

Dooooooooh, I was sure I guessed 4th

 

And I thought you have already posted a brand new quiz?! Come on, I know you love history...

[Luciana]

I learned history only when I really had to

 

Although, there were some short period I loved it, especially when it comes to ancient history and civilisations (mostly Egypt, Greece and Rome), I forgot most of it, anyway

[ValDes]

Ohh, I'm sure Lord's heart would be devastated. Just as mine.

I'm afraid these questions are far too hard! (For me)
