Countries That Were DESTROYED

Which other countries were destroyed throughout history?

Gregor MacGregor is possibly the most Scottish name ever

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),...

Circassia would be a very interesting one to hear about. Also the tragic history of Hawaii.

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.

I would be very interested in a video done on the Hanseatic League.

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.

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!

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. 😊

Definately the Hanseatic league!! I have read about it but putting it in map form with your research would be excellent!

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.

Funny how you have information on the fante and Ashanti they don't teach us in our Ghanaian schools. Keep up the work 👏

No mention of Carthage / Punic empire? Really odd, they are the first example I thought of here
