About World Capitals Quiz
Learning capitals builds a mental map of the world and makes news, history and travel more meaningful. Practising one region at a time keeps it manageable.
Some capitals surprise people: Canberra (not Sydney) is the capital of Australia, Ottawa (not Toronto) is the capital of Canada, and Wellington is the capital of New Zealand.
