History’s got its twists, and some countries had their time in the spotlight, but they’re no longer on the map. Let’s dive into the tales of 8 countries that waved goodbye:

1. Prussia

Once a Euro powerhouse, Prussia faded away after World War II. The treaty of Potsdam split it between Poland, the Soviet Union, and now it’s part of Germany.

2. Yugoslavia

Born after World War I, this union of Slavic pals in Southeast Europe didn’t last. In the ’90s, ethnic tensions split it into countries like Serbia and Croatia.

Number 6 And 8 Will surprise you

Most countries in Europe have all split along ethnic lines, but they will send weapons to Nigeria to keep Nigeria one because of oil

Here:

3. The Ottoman Empire

Once ruling like a boss, the Ottoman Empire called it quits after World War I. Now, its lands are shared by Turkey, Iraq, and Syria.

4. East Germany

From 1949 to 1990, East Germany was a communist gig. When the Berlin Wall fell, so did it, merging back with West Germany.

5. Czechoslovakia

Formed after World War I, Czechoslovakia united Czechs and Slovaks. But in ’93, it split due to tensions, giving birth to two separate nations.

6. Rhodesia

A Southern African British hangout, Rhodesia went solo in 1965. Ignored by the world, it fizzled out in 1980, turning into today’s Zimbabwe.

7. Republic of Texas

In 1836, Texas said, “Adiós, Mexico!” forming the Republic of Texas. But in 1845, the U.S. said, “Howdy, Texas!” and it became a state.


8. Confederate States Of America

During the Civil War, some southern states went, “We’re out!” forming the Confederacy. But post-war, it bowed out of the stage.

Countries come and go, but their stories stick around, weaving the tapestry of our past.

There's one that exists purely online, it has a flag, a president and two Prime Ministers (one in jail, one in exile), no parliament and no currency
