VANISHED STATES | 30 countries that no longer exist!

How many countries no longer exist? Over the past two hundred and fifty years, the United States has recognised well over two hundred states. However, many have disappeared. In this video, I look at all the countries the US once recognised, but have since vanished from the world map.

Hello and welcome! My name is James Ker-Lindsay. Thanks for joining me to take an informed look at International Relations, secession, independence and the origins of countries.

State extinction is a feature of international politics. Using information from the US State Department, I present all the states that Washington once recognised, but have now become extinct. In some cases, these state deaths were the result of state formation in Europe in the nineteenth century. The unification of Germany and Italian unification were particularly significant in this regard. However, there are many other stories behind the cases of vanished states. Alongside familiar modern cases - such as Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia - there are also many forgotten countries, such as Lew Chew (Loochoo), the Orange Free State, and the Hanseatic Republics. The Kingdom of Hawaii and the Republic of Texas even put in an appearance!
