   Erland Sommarskog to All   
   Erland's Occasional Quiz: National heroe   
   25 Jul 22 23:02:17   
   
   From: esquel@sommarskog.se   
      
   It's time for one my occasional quizzes again. This time, the theme is   
   national icons/heroes. Below you have a list of names of persons who are   
   the hero or the icon of a country, and your task is simply to identify   
   the country.   
      
   You don't have to say how the person has earned that reputation, but feel   
   free to add a brief explanation. In case of a tie, I will use these   
   explanations to settle on a winner.   
      
   As always, post the answers to the newsgroup. And as always, only use your   
   knowledge, so no googling, asking the cats or whatever.   
      
   I plan to score this on Saturday 30th (but it could slip a day or two,   
   if Swedish summer weather compels me to be outdoors).   
      
      
   1.  Skanderbeg   
      
   2.  Bernardo O'Higgins   
      
   3.  King Sejong   
      
   4.  Gustav Vasa   
      
   5.  Taras Shevchenko   
      
   6.  Kemal Atatürk   
      
   7.  Toussaint Louverture   
      
   8.  José Martí   
      
   9.  Marianne   
      
   10. Julius Nyrere   
      
   11. José de San Martín   
      
   12. Muhammad Ali Jinnah   
      
      
   HAVE FUN!
