.org/]  [/url] The Republic of Mozambique declared independence from Portugal in 1975. It's country is poor, though it does have tons of natural resources. Fun fact: I once represented Mozambique in a Model United Nations conference and jokingly declared war on North Korea! |

Ottoman Empire 1299-1922/23 .org/]  [/url] .org/]  [/url] A empire which at a time was very powerful. It conquered much of Southern Europe(Balkans) and at a time even threatened Vienna. After it was defeated from trying to take Vienna, the empire slowly declined and was never a threat to Europe again. Collapsed after WW1 due to harsh allied treaty dealing with the ottomans, eventually the modern Turkish state emerged after a independence war was fought. |

It managed to make the largest land contiguous empire in history, their fearsome mounted archers overwhelming many opponents. They were also known for their brutality. Their empire did not last long and fractured into smaller states. |

The flag of Mexico (Spanish: Bandera de México) is a vertical tricolour of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the center of the white stripe. While the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Mexico following independence from Spain during the country's War of Independence, and subsequent First Mexican Empire. The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968, but the overall design has been used since 1821, when the First National Flag was created..org/image/hgozxyh0z/]  [/url] |

Their empire did not last long and fractured into smaller states. And yet Baltic tribes stopped their assault with very big loses on both sides😉 |

Poland briefly came back during the Napoleonic wars however afterwards absorbed by other nation's. Poland and Lithuania became independent after WW1. People are very mistaken about who was the rulers of it, it originally was Lithuanian country, Poles got to ruling a lot later. |
