He was born in Gori, which is now in the Republic of Georgia.


Question: What day did the remaining German forces surrender to the Allies/Soviet Union?

Stalingrad was (and is now) known as Volgograd. And you said "where the Russians made their stand", I assume that you're talking about the Russian Revolution, in that case, the city you're thinking of is Leningrad (now known as St. Petersburg). Georgia was part of the Russian Empire, but is now it's own Republic. I don't know why Stalin named Volgograd "Stalingrad", though.

Question: What was the last nation to be invaded by Germany and on what year did this take place?

Hungary, 1944... I think.

For how long (and what time period) did the French rule the British throne?
