▶ In this video I talk about a few countries that used to exist, temporarily went away, but then came back and exist again today! Going through examples like Iceland - first a Commonwealth, then a Danish domain and then becoming an independent republic again; Norway, that after being its own medieval kingdom also went through a period of Danish and Swedish control, only after centuries returning to its sovereignty; Armenia, who existed as a grand medieval and ancient kingdom - then being occupied by the Byzantines and Turks only to recover their independence much later on as a smaller version of their ancestor state. Just like those, I also go into the examples of Poland, Georgia, Greece, Bulgaria, Sri Lanka and Tunisia. Always attempting to learn how the first instance of the State came to be and what it was, how it disappeared and why, and when it managed to come back.
