Tossup

Christian Matras led efforts to translate this country’s national language into his native tongue. In the 1960s, this country led a forced sterilization effort in one of its territories known as the “spiral case.” (10[2])Earlier, this country’s branch of Save the Children (10[1])sponsored a failed social experiment to relocate 22 children from that territory. The British occupied one of this country’s territories in response to Operation (10[1])Weser·übung (10[1])(“VAY-zer-OOH-bung”). It’s not (10[1])Spain, but Operation (-5[1])Crested Ice responded to an incident where a B-52 (-5[1])carrying four nuclear bombs (-5[1])crashed in one of this country’s (10[2])territories. (10[2])This country, (10[1])whose relationship to two former colonies is termed “the (10[1])unity of the realm,” granted autonomy in 1946 (-5[1])to a “Law Thing” based out of Tórs·havn (10[3])(“TORS-haun”). For 10 points, name this (10[1])country that once governed the Faroe (-5[1])Islands and Greenland. ■END■ (10[5])
