"7. Name all the republics of Europe and give the capitals of each.

Examples include:

BRITAIN (London)
Finland (Helsinki)
France (Paris)
Germany (Berlin)
Italy (Rome)
NETHERLANDS (Hague)
SWEDEN (Stockholm)"


Really???

As for the others, Finland wasn't independent in 1895, and Germany and Italy weren't republics!

"7. Name all the republics of Europe and give capital of each.

France with its capital at Paris, and Switzerland with its capital at Bern are the only republics in Europe. There are no other republics in Europe, as we know a republic to be, all the other nations are constitutional monarchies, or principalities. The major monarchies are Great Britain, London; Germany, Berlin; Russia, St. Petersburg; Ukraine, Kiev; Austria/Hungary, Vienna; Italy, Rome; Spain, Seville; Portugal, Lisbon; Belgium, Brussels; Holland, Amsterdam; Denmark, Copenhagen; Norway, Oslo; and Sweden, Stockholm."


As I pointed out yesterday, San Marino is a republic.
