Previous capitals quiz

David Whitley,

In this quiz, you’re given ten capital cities of ten countries. Your task is to work out which city was the capital previously. For example, if you were looking for the capital of Myanmar before Naypyidaw, the correct answer would be Yangon.

Note: The correct answer is the IMMEDIATELY previous one. A city that has been capital long in the past, when the capital has changed several times since, will not get you the points.
