Do you know how many countries have disappeared from the world?

Many countries in the world have disappeared. Some were annexed into provinces and cities, and some did not even leave their names. In the long river of history, it can be said that the real waves behind push the waves ahead, and there are always some backward countries to be replaced by other countries. For example, Hawaii, Germany, the Soviet Union and so on, these names all sound familiar now, and they once existed as countries.

Hawaii was once a country.

What can people think of when they hear this name? Hawaiian fruit? , or a tourist city. In fact, Hawaii used to be a country, consisting of many small islands. At that time, it was called the Kingdom of Hawaii. Only after being controlled by immigrants, the Queen of Hawaii lost her real power. Although it was called a country at that time, it actually had no sovereignty over any country. In the subsequent historical trend, Hawaii can only cancel its status as an independent country and be forced to become a region of other countries. 1959, this country has really disappeared.

2. Germany and the Soviet Union

Everyone knows that the first industrial revolution made Britain the world's number one hegemon, but I don't know that there is another country that can exist side by side with it. This country is the German Empire. At that time, Prussia completed the unification of Germany and formally established the German Empire. Later, in World War I, there were obvious internal contradictions in Germany and many problems appeared. Finally, the German Empire perished and became today's Germany. The Soviet Union, I believe many people have heard of it, was once the top country in the world. Later, due to more and more contradictions, the Soviet Union was disintegrated into many countries, of which Russia was the representative.

In fact, the disappearance of these countries is also normal. Besides these familiar names, there are many countries whose names people have never even heard of. In the development of history, some countries will always be eliminated.
