Help me out real quick
 

I promised my sister I'd help her out with an independent study she's doing. She needs to get some answers to some questions she typed up for me from at least three people between the ages of 14 and 21.

There are fourteen questions. Do not ask for help from anybody, do not use a search engine or any other form of internet research. Use only your own knowledge to answer these questions. To make sure that you can't read another person's answers, do not post your answers, instead PM them to me.

It only takes about three minutes. Thanks!

1. How do you feel about Americans in general? - Although I think the majority for the most part aren't so much like this, there tends to be a lot of die-hard Republican fanboys (teapartiers) who honestly don't have a single brain cell calling Obama some sort of Nazi Communist. America is a great country, but it's not the greatest for all. I prefer my own, but even more-so countries like Sweden and Denmark (I've been there, not just being a hipster)

2. What language is spoken in Haiti? - French

3. How did it become that most of Central America speaks Spanish? - Spain colonized the area.

4. What is the financial situation of Chile? (i. e. Rich, Poor, Average?) - I believe it's average (Canada/US being rich). I think they're very self sufficient as I think gas prices there are like a couple cents a letre. but there's still quite a bit of poverty.

5. What is the current form of government in Uganda? - I don't know but I'll guess totalitarian?

6. When the Romans ruled, what sea did most of their land border? - Mediterranean

7. What country does Portugal border? - Spain

8. What is the name of the disputed land in the Middle East? - Gaza Strip

9. What countries did the U.S. fight against in World War I? - Germany, Autrio-Hungary, Russia.

10. In what country is the U.S. currently fighting a war and where is this country located? - Iraq, in the Middle East.

11. Who is the Prime Minister of France? - No Idea

12. What country is in economic despair due to the mining and sale of diamonds? - Sierra Leone?

13. What country recently (2010) had an 8.8 earthquake, said to have been so powerful it shortened the length of a day by less than a second? - Haiti

14. Who is Michael Steele and what is his nationality? - No Clue

Re: Help me out real quick
 

It's strange that your sister would require external sources for her independent study, and that you wouldn't seek answers from friends or family whom are within that age bracket, considering that you require a minimum of 3 responses.

A bit of advice, you will gain the most reliable sources from friends, family members, peers or acquaintances.

Re: Help me out real quick
 

Haha I would help you out but I'm English, I don't know any of the answers to those questions :3

By "First Name, Last Name Initial" I think she meant like if your name was Jack Pearson, you'd put "Jack P." but... oh well. She's not gonna read this anyway, so I'll just fill in names for people who didn't put one down.
Anyway, need at least one more. Thanks for the answers so far, guys.

Re: Help me out real quick
 

Nobody seems to know that it was actually Chile that had that 8.8 magnitude earthquake. It just wasn't as well publicized because it only killed 300 people. Haiti earthquake was magnitude 7, but because of their horrible infrastructure and its location to populous areas it did a lot more damage.
