Countries That Might Disappear In The Near Future

Another likely disappearance could be Moldova uniting/joining Romania. With increased threat from Russia, Moldova may want to unite for protection, economical, historical and cultural reasons.

I never thought I’d say this but I genuinely think an independent Ireland could be united within my lifetime, which if you’d asked me even a few years ago I would have laughed at the idea.

If Belgium broke apart, it would be in four parts: Flanders joining the Netherlands, Valonia joining France, the German communities joining Germany and Brussels being a European Capital District under direct control of the EU.

Unification of Romania and Moldavia leading to the independence of Gagauzia and Transnistria is also a real possibility.

As someone from one of this separatist regions of Spain I am feeling quite disturbed by that part of the video. Despite that, I don’t think that there is a big nationalist movement in Andalusia since I have never met an Andalusian separatist in my hole life.

Bougainville (the upcoming new country) is going to be independent not next year but on 2027

Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands are both very mountainous nations and are thus far above sea level. I'm pretty sure you mixed them up with Nauru and the Marshall Islands. Same energy as Austria and Australia, but it happens lol And there is definitely nobody advocating for a peaceful union of Taiwan with China. The pro-China Kuomintang party's popularity has declined, the CCP doesn't have a presence on the island, the ruling DPP advocates for Taiwan independence, and their constitution claims the Mainland as theirs...if you want to reunify peacefully, this isn't the way to do it

As a Taiwanese person, it will be impossible for the Prc and the roc to unite peacefully without riots, annexation, or coups.

We faced a sort of separatist movement here in south Brazil some time ago. Some people from the 3 southernmost states have created a trend that says "The south is my country", wishing to to gain independency, but nowadays that movement kinda died out.

Belgium is very likely to disappear. The political situation is very tense, and Flanders want independance more and more, deeming that helping Wallonia costs them too much among other arguments. Wallonia couldn't hold on on its own and would have to join France in this case. Brussels would be a problem though, a french speaking capital in Flanders territory. Both would fight to keep it.

If Flanders and Wallonia get absorbed, I'd expect Brussels to turn into a city state. I can see Brussels becoming part of Flanders, I don't see it becoming part of the Netherlands. Might just be me tho

Another possibility of reunification or breaking apart could be Puerto Rico by either becoming independent or joining the US as the 51st state

One fact you forgot to mention about the first example - China really is considering Taiwan as the part of the state, but Taiwan is also considering China as the part of one country lead by them, currently "occupied" by communists (and also they take Mongolia as not independent but part of that country)....

It's going to be hilarious if the uk falls apart and all that's left of it is England or England+Wales. Colonize the entire world and end up left with a quarter of your already tiny land mass

There has been talk over the years of Western Australia seceding from the Commonwealth of Australia, most recently during the pandemic with W.A instituting the hard border closures with the rest of Australia. It would be financially viable given the mining revenue generated in that state and a poll in 2020 gained 28% support to secede. It is interesting to note that a referendum to secede in 1933 was successful but never implemented. As an Australian I wouldn’t like to see it happen but if the people of WA choose to do it then good luck to them. I think it would be a complete waste of time as the cons far outweigh the pros.

6:18 Me who lives in Maldives: oh, hm, interesting, WAIT A MINU-

Unification of Romania and Moldova is a possibility too 🇷🇴🇲🇩

Before making any comment on Iran,please be patience and let me explain Iran for you; The first thing that you get wrong is that being an Iranian means that you are ethnically Persian (although we technically don’t have Persian as a single ethnic group) I’m ethnically Lur,but I’m Iranian,that’s same for a Kurd,Balooch,Arab,Mazani,Gilak,Azeri,Turkmen or Talysh, You see,the point is unlike some counties, Iranian nationality is not linked to a specific ethnic group, All these ethnicities in Iran have lived together for at least 11 centuries, and Iran has been like this since the first time it unified under the Median Shahdom (2700 years ago) Unlike what many think, we have always called our country Iran and identified selves as “Iranian”, take the book Shahnameh written by the great poet Ferdowsi,or any poem from any poet from anywhere of Iran,even places that are not today part of Iran,even though they’re from thousand(s) year(s) ago,when nation-states didn’t exist,you realise us Iranians living in this geographical location called Iran(used to be bigger),despite our different ethnicities identified ourselves as “Iranians” and that’s really unique if you take a look at the majority of other countries existing in the world. Currently there is a anti-government protest going on in Iran,after the two nationwide anti-government protests we had in 2018 and 2017,this is the third largest by far,until now there has been ongoing protests for days in; all ethnically Lur provinces,both ethnically Arab and Lur parts of Khuzetan province, city of Neishapour in Khorasan,ethnically Azeri city of Ardabil, ethnically Kurdish city of Kermanshah and parts of metropolitan Tehran.In all those cities and provinces you hear the slogans “we will die we,will die,but we will take back our Iran” and “(people) Don’t be afraid we are all together,(government) be afraid be afraid we are all together” These slogans were heard all across 29 provinces of Iran in November of 2018,and Iran has only 31 provinces… Doesn’t that illustrate anything to you?..

Thank you for your videos! The Andalusian independence movement is almost non existent and the Galician one never went over 25% (and that was a long time ago). The Bask movement is quite strong, although it seams to have calmed down lately.

Je me suis abonné depuis longtemps, continue comme ça, you make greatful videos
