I want to know how Americans and non-Americans pronounce these names:

Illinois, Missoiri, Mississipi and Vermont. Bonus: Worcestershire.

Or just add to the list. Vocaroo is optional.

France never owned the Arabic peninsula, or the Eastern US coast.
However there are regions in Europe that we did own, like Rome or Croatia.
