The Basics and Beginners Quiz

Poland, perhaps? Gdańsk?

No, more to the West.

West, or south west?

More southwest than west, but there is some west included:D

I thought so. :wink:

And it was a rather peaceful occupation, although it could have had dire consequences at the time. Is that kind of vague too?:wink:

Austria?

This will probably be my last guess, because (I don’t know if it’s obvious or not) I don’t really know the answer and am simply guessing.

No, this is prior to Austria or Sudetenland.

Ruhr ?

Very very close, a little more to the West.

Saarland?

Correct!
The Saarland/Rhienland was occupied by the Allies until 1930. Even though they were German states, no military forces were allowed. Hitler had the states remilitarized in March 1936. He told the armed forces to retreat if blocked by French or Belgian forces, but nothing of the sort happened.
