Top 10 Countries That No Longer Exist Subscribe: // TIMESTAMPS BELOW ———————– CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF WATCHMOJO WITH OUR SPECIAL EDITION MAGAZINE, LINKS BELOW!

There are actually quite a few countries that disappeared in the 20th century – and many of these are countries that disappeared because of war. Germany used to be called Prussia, East Germany and the Weimar Republic, Sri Lanka was once Ceylon, Czechoslovakia is now the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the Ottoman Empire was basically replaced by the Republic of Turkey. WatchMojo counts down a list of nations that don’t exist anymore.

  4. the weimar republic is germany same country like france who passed from 4th
    republic to 5th republic

  6. Even tho east Germany doesn’t exist anymore there are still differences to
    West Germany. I grew up in the east of Germany and my parents in the DDR
    (east germany) and I started traveling a lot in Germany and you can clearly
    see the differnces. West germany just seems cleaner and the people seem
    more richer and more succesfull.

  8. Y’all should’ve mentioned the Republic of Texas. Texas was an independent
    nation for almost 10 years before joining the United States.
