So its been almost 3 years since my last post.   Okay, time for another geography quiz then.   None of that easy stuff.  I try to make them google-proof, though that is increasingly difficult.   Okay, then, without further ado:

1.  What is the longest river to flow through both the United States and another country?

2.  What is the largest island in the Mediterranean which does not belong to a European nation?   By European we mean a nation primarily in Europe.

3.  Not counting Puerto Rico, its outlying islands and the Virgin Islands, the United States owns one other island in the Caribbean.   What is it?

4.  This island, in the indian ocean, is so named not because it is run by the mob, but from a swahili phrase meaning "Heathy Dwelling Place".

5.  A few years after winning independence from the British, India successfully invaded and annexed a colonial territory belonging to which other European nation?

okay, been 3 years, we'll start with a short one.   Post your answers (yeah, right)....
