6 difficult trivia questions (geography, history, etc.)

1) Ronaldo
2) ice cream
3) dog
4) Anime
5) A while ago
6) Can you repeat the question please
1) Dominica and Nicaragua both have purple. I am guessing you are looking for Dominica because that is the only one that has enough purple that it is actually visible. Now that I think about it, the pride flag also has purple.
2) I don't know if they invaded, but, France and Great Britain did declare war on Germany in 1939 so I guess it's them.
3) Bolivia and Paraguay
4)I've been there before so I know this one with certainty, the deepest lake in continental United States, Crater Lake, is in Oregon.
5) The Saints have a lily though it doesn't really look like a lily if I am being honest.
6) THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. THE GOAT. THE MOST UNDERATED MAN IN BASKETBALL HISTORY. KAREEM... ABDUL... JABBAR.

The OP says these are difficult questions. The only difficult question is the question you do not know the answer to. The OP knows the answers, therefor the questions cannot be classed difficult unless one wishes to patronise and humiliate the questionee.
Example... Why is CHCL3 non-flammable?...

Seychelles?

There were troop movements behind axis lines, so I guess Italy and Hungary? But on the 1st of September, I don't know for sure. Also, Germany does have a disputed area with Denmark, does this count? Germany used the excuse of a border skirmish to justify the attack of Poland, so... Poland?
> 3. What are the only 2 landlocked countries in the Western Hemisphere?
Andorra, Vatican city, Bavaria, Saxony, Teutemberg, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslowakia, Czechia, Slowakia, Slovenia, (Bosnia), Serbia, Luhansk People's republic, united provinces of rio de la Plata, San Marino, Switzerland, the helvetic Republic, Brandenburg-Prussia before 1645, the western Mongol empire in Hungary, Bolivia, Algeria after the first French conquest, the Aztec empire?, France during the height of the 100 years war and Belarus (western?)
> 4. In what state is the deepest lake in the continental United States?
Pond Rushmore? I don't know the us
> 5. What NFL team features a flower as its logo?
I thought NFL is basketball... I'm gonna go with Washington.
> 6. What NBA Basketball player has the most points scored all time Hint: It's not Lebron.
Lee Oswalt? I think the other only hit once

Question three: and the American Indian reservoirs

Without research here are my answers:
1. I know nearly nothing about country flags so can’t make educated guess so will pass.
2. I’ll probably embarrass myself with these but here it goes: Soviet Union (or Russia whichever you want if this is correct) and France was said sounds plausible to me.
3. No geography expert here so kinda random guesses of Chile and Brazil.
4. As aforementioned and confirmed by you Oregon with Crater Lake.
5. Let’s list the one’s I am confident don’t fit this criterion: Santa Clara 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, LA Rams, San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Washington’s team (whatever got changed from Redskins to), Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and that is all the teams I can think of at 6:45 am. (Didn’t look up teams even without logos). Will think about it more later.
6. Kareem.
We can add Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears, to list for #5.

You are on the wrong side of the globe. All those are countries in the eastern hemisphere and not the western. The western hemisphere refers mainly to north and south america.
