In the world, new changes are constantly taking place every day, which can be described as changing with each passing day.
In history, too, some countries, today have disappeared and cease to exist.
I. The Ottoman Empire
First, we note the Ottoman Empire, which once stretched from Morocco in the west to the Persian Gulf in the east, and from Sudan in the south to Hungary in the north.
From 1299 to 1922, the Ottoman Empire, which existed for 600 years.
This country is very influential in the Middle East and North Africa. However, due to its participation in the First World War and its defeat, after the war, it was disbanded.
The Ottoman Empire, the largest part of the land area (including the area where present-day Egypt, Sudan, and Palestine are located), in turn belonged to the British.
The Turks, on the remaining land area, created the present-day state of Turkey.
In any case, however, the Ottoman Empire should have been greatly respected historically.
2. The Austro-Hungarian Empire
The Austro-Hungarian Empire, founded from 1867 to 1918.
The country collapsed, as in the Ottoman Empire, due to its participation in World War I and its defeat.
As a result, a series of currently known countries emerged: Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
Part of the land area of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided among Italy, Poland and Romania.
The question is, why
Its neighbor Germany also participated in World War I and was defeated, why did it not collapse?
The reasons are not complicated, Germany is predominantly German. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were many tribes and various cultures that were difficult to integrate with each other.
United Arab Republic (UAR)
The country was founded in 1958 and lasted until the early 1970s.
Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser, who united Egypt and Syria at the time, established this new state.
The main reason is that he believes that this will give him an advantage in the Israeli-Israeli resistance against Israel.
However, despite the formation of the new state, Egypt and Syria are still hundreds of kilometers apart.
After a six-day war in the Middle East, Israel was victorious.
As a result, the United Arab Republic disintegrated, forming the two states of today, Egypt and Syria.
4. Czechoslovakia
This country existed from 1918 to 1992.
It was a new state separated from austria-Hungary and occupied by Germany during World War II.
After World War II, Czechoslovakia joined the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc.
When the Soviet Union ceased to exist, Czechoslovakia was dissolved and divided into two different countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
By the way, today the Czech economic development is doing very well. Slovakia, however, lagged far behind the Czech Republic.
5. Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, have a lot in common.
Both countries, both existing between 1918 and 1992, were separated from austria-Hungary, both were occupied by Germany in World War II, and both joined the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc after World War II.
In the early 1990s, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, these 6 countries were separated from Yugoslavia.
Sixth, the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union was founded from 1922 to 1991.
The Soviet Union was built on the basis of Soviet Russia (1917-1922). Soviet Russia, on the other hand, was separated from the Russian Empire after World War I.
In 70 years, the Soviet Union has rapidly developed from a poor and backward country to a powerful superpower in the world.
The high achievements of the Soviet Union were embodied in the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union aided Vietnam and won the war against the United States for more than 10 years, giving it the upper hand in the global hegemony with the United States.
In 1991, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other member states were separated from the Soviet Union.
Russia became the successor state of the Soviet Union.
