Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is an interesting topic and how from it's territorial peak in 17th century it was totally conquered by the end of next century
the Confederate States of America, Gran Colombia, Arab Kingdom of Syria and Iraq, Rhodesia, the various Italian and Germany states prior to unification, Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, the State of Deseret, the Kingdom of Hawaii, etc...
Destroyed countries that resulted in the extinction of their core ethnos would've been a better concept, for instance Western Xia (Tanguts), Later Zhao (Jie people),...
Ethnicities which got assimilated/integrated into larger ones would also be an interesting thing. Vlachs for example, a romance speaking people of the Balkans, who got integrated into Croatian, Serbian and Bosniak identities (perhaps even more then those 3). They adopted Slavic language in the Middle ages.
@@LuKing2 lol, by "muscovites") This is how you understand that person doesn`t know history as a science - he uses non-scientific terminology based on myths. Circassians actually got maybe more representation today than Hawaii people. Circassians have now their own "republic" as other national minorities in Russia (though they may be not as independent in their Constitutions is declared they are were culturally different from the rest of Russia, have their rules and almost live in their own world, don`t like visitors, travelers and act like Russian laws don`t apply to them) - "thanks" bolsheviks national policy - this is the main thing that destroyed USSR which was already built by commie ter*orists but what is more worse - is their national policy. Basically, Russians were live worse and treated worse than any (!) other nationality in USSR. No wonder why all (!) of former Soviet republics are literally products of bolsheviks national policy. In Russian Empire there was almost no problem under to many nationalities exist under the rule of Moscow - yes, it was a colonization, but as a European state, Russian Empire was bringing civilization to these territories.
Considering where you started, the list could be endless. Why not the Hittite Empire? But some big ones from Europe are the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, The Venetian Republic and Yugoslavia. Each one has a specific, known, date when they just stopped being.
the problem with PLC is that you could consider Poland and Lithuania as it's successor states - in a sense it still exists today, the union just broke up.
For everyone interested in gone and forgotten, but also small odd countries and places, I can highly recommend the book 'An Atlas of Extinct Countries' by Gideon Defoe. A informative and funny read for any geography- and historynerds!
If you care about it, check out Principality of the Pindus. It was an Aromanian state during 1941-1943, founded by Alcibiade Diamandi. The Aromanians tried to proclaim their first state during WW1, an attempt by the same Diamandi, during the so-called Samarina Republic which lasted about 10 days. Both times the Aromanians had the backing of Italians and Romanians. Italians helped them militarily since both attempts were made during Italian occupations and the Romanians have tried to helped Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanians ever since the foundation of the Romanian state. Diamandi even tried to get recognition from Romania by asking the Principality to get under the Romanian Crown's tutelage but Antonescu didn't support him in this.
Yes! 😍 Please do a video about the Hanseatic League. I'm from Lübeck, the "Queen of the Hanse" and former inofficial capital of this commercial confederation. 😊
Some other little known countries that vanished: 1. Empire of Trebizon. The last remnant of Byzantine Empire, it survived the Fall of Constantinople by several years. 2. Alt Clut, a.k.a. Kingdom of Strathclyde. A kingdom of Britons in today's southern Scotland, which survived Anglo-Saxon conquest and only was ultimately defeated several centuries later. 3. Arelat, a.k.a. Kingdom of Burgundy. Located in today's southeastern France it was one of the kingdoms that emerged from the dissolution of the Carolingian Empire. It was eventually incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire. 4. Kingom of Brittany. Founded by the Britons who left Great Britain to avoid being conquerred by Anglo-Saxons, it lasted for centuries until it was incorporated into France. 5. Songhay. An empire in western Africa. It replaced better-known Mali Empire as the most critical state in West Africa. It collapsed after it was defeated by Morocco. 6. Vandal Kingdom. Created by Vandals in Northern Africa during the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, it lasted until the times of Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian and general Belisarius. 7. Khazar Khaganate. An empire centered on Pontic-Caspian Steppe, which was the only major state between the antiquity and modern times that had Judaism as their state religion. And there are also more better known: the Roman Empire itself, Carthage and many other states that Romans conquered, the Mayan, Aztec and Inca empires, Al-Andalus, or Golden Horde.
Arelat wasn't destroyed, but as you said, incorporated into the Roman Empire, where it continued to exist, until it became Savoy. I'd replace it with the Crown of Aragon, conquered by Castille in 1707-1716 and dissolved, its territories annexed into the Crown of Castille (renamed in 1716 the Crown of Spain). I think it'd be interesting to include that one because most people wrongly think Spain was created in 1474 with the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Elizabeth of Castille, but in reality both Aragon and Castille remained as separate crowns with full independence until 1707.
@@RoderickVI I specifically wanted to include a state that wasn't conquered, but vanished in a different way: became a part of something greater and eventually dissolved into it, losing its own identity all the same.
Another state worth mantioning could be Prussia. Begining as a state of the Teutonic Knights, it eventually formed a union with Brandenburg and became a main state within the German Empire. However after WW2 its lands were lost and nowadays there's no state of Prussia within Germany or elsewhere.

My ancestors used to live in the Kingdom of Pangasinan in the northern part of The Philippine Islands. When the Spaniards conquered the whole Philippine Islands, they integrated the newly independent Kingdom of Pangasinan back into The Philippine Islands. :3
french here : the corsican nationalist like to pretend that their republic was so much more modern than backward france because they allowed women to vote, but that is kind of a stretch. basically it was a sort of clanic society, and women could only vote if they were widowed or something, the gist being that if you need and adult to talk on behalf on your household and no man is around, yeah a woman can vote instead. That's not bad, but not nearly as advanced as they pretend nor as uncommon.
I don't know if British Togoland was a country or not but in 1957 through the independence act it was merged with Ghana (then gold coast) in order to achieve independence alongside Ghana
This list mostly covered countries that were either ideas for countries, or propaganda money-making schemes than nations that were actually destroyed. Other than a few examples like the Fante confederacy, I'm thinking about countries that are actually destroyed much like the Mayan Empire, or even the traditional Maori tribes on the north island (it's not a (recognized) country, but a comparable example).
I really hoped you would mention Tawantinsuyo, the empire that was ruled by the Incas and destroyed and annexed by the Spanish conquistadors, or at least Tenochtitlan, the Aztec empire

Byzantium? do you mean the Eastern Roman Empire? because Byzantium doesn't exist is a term used by historians in modern times... they called each other Romans and for all the rest of the world they were Romans
The Brigantian Federation and the Kingdom of Northumbria are two countries that were destroyed which held approximately the same territory in the Iron Age and the Early Medieval Period respectively.
I would've added Western Sahara, Somaliland and Biafra, but I guess I would've "messed" with your algorithm ;) ... There could also be a "many times" discussion about Poland before 1991.
Countries that have been destroyed (no particular order): 1. Zululand 2. Republic of Carpatho-Ukraine (lasted literally 1 day) 3. Ancient Israel and Judah 4. Republic of Pirates 5. Kingdom of Hawaii 6, State of Muskogee 7. Tawantinsuyu (Inca Empire) 8. Triple Alliance (Aztec Empire) 9. Iroquois Confederacy 10. Urartu/Kingdom of Van
The Byzantines, crusader states, and the American empires were what first came to my mind. I am really glad you found some obscure ones that would probably be otherwise forgotten!
No such thing as Byzantium. It was Roma. A German historian much later decided to project backwards in time and call it "Byzantium". People who lived there called it Roma, because that is what it was.
The Iroquois Confederacy would be a good one for a future episode, especially considering how much of their administrative structure was later adopted by the burgeoning U.S. government Also Carpatho-Ukraine, which existed for literally one day The Kingdom of Hawai'i would be good, considering so many people aren't aware how it was illegally annexed
You forget German Democratic Republic, Popular Democratic Republic of Aden, Republic of Vietnam (South), Confederate States of América, Federative Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, Socialist Republic of Checoslovaquia , and the most bigger: Soviet Union. Thanks for a vídeo.
Also, the Mongols literally destroyed the foundations of the Song by killing millions and destroying their infrastructure. The same applies for the Khwaresmian Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate.
The unification of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964 shouldn't be on tle list. It wasn't a country destruction but a peaceful merge of two political entities.
Or in general the many Counties, Duchies, Free Cities, Kingdoms, Principalties ... which became Germany. Some were never of much importance (random pick: County of Falkenstein), other played a huge Role and their legacy lives on until today (like Prussia or Bavaria), other never reached again their importance they had once (Electorate of Mainz) and others have weird stories attached to them like the attemped colonisation of today´s french guyana, brazil and suriname by the County of Hanau.
Every time something just stop being or I don't have it anymore, no matter why or how, I'll just say “it has been DESTROYED” since apparently according to the video it's the same
