[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

He says Bastille day doesn't count :(

 

And Israel is usually in May which isn't quite summer so... Ya, that's it

[Wildfire Sedai]

Wow....that was a wild guess....I just thought of the olympics and stuff....cool beanies.....

USA, France, Mexico, Spain, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Ukraine, Belo Russe (White Russia), Poland, Germany

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Does France celebrate an Independence Day?

[Wildfire Sedai]

I am not sure just guessing??

[Shad_]

Six correct countries have been named.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Wooohoooooo

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I am not sure just guessing??

Some good guesses!

[Wildfire Sedai]

Well I was in russia when the ukraine declared independence and then most of the other russian states did the same just not remembering which ones....

 

Wow....that was a wild guess....I just thought of the olympics and stuff....cool beanies.....

 

let's see....

 

USA, France, Mexico, Spain, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Ukraine, Belo Russe (White Russia), Poland, Germany

 

So I am sure/pretty sure on:

 

USA, Mexico, Ukraine, White Russia,Belgium, Yugoslavia, Georgia [yes it is a country....one of the russian ones....I been thinking really hard on my trip there], Kazakhstan, Lithuania,  Latvia

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I'm totally sure about Canada cause Mr. Gill knows that stuff.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Also pretty sure Poland and Germany aren't in the summer, so that narrows the first there's down.

 

Is that ten then?

[Wildfire Sedai]

Well I was in russia when the ukraine declared independence and then most of the other russian states did the same just not remembering which ones....

So I am sure/pretty sure on:

 

USA, Mexico, Ukraine, White Russia,Belgium, Yugoslavia, Georgia [yes it is a country....one of the russian ones....I been thinking really hard on my trip there], Kazakhstan, Lithuania,  Latvia

So lets try again:

 

USA, Mexico, Ukraine, White Russia, Canada, Yugoslavia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia

Six correct countries have been named.

But I think you hit on the right idea; pretty much all of the former Soviet nations celebrate some sort of independence day. The countries that were named happen to have theirs during other times of the year.

 

You may now Google. :)

Wild guessing the World Cup

ANOTHER WILD GUESS: the Olympics??

[Shad_]

Somewhat controversially, the 2022 World Cup will be held in November and December to avoid extreme temperatures in its host nation, Qatar.  All previous 21 World Cups took place at least in part in a summer month.
