Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth 1569-1795   It was for a time the strongest power in the east. However being surrounded by growing powers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia doomed it to partition between the three. 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. I was always under the impression that it was more of an austro hungary type situation |

The Vermont Republic: .org/]  [/url] Little known to many Americans (And just people in general), the state of Vermont was actually an independent nation between 1777 and 1791. The Vermonter population (And yes, that is its actual demonym) rebelled alongside the original 13 colonies of Georgia, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Connecticut, and South Carolina and fought alongside them in the Revolutionary War. They applied for U.S statehood, but were denied entry because New York State had property disputes with Vermont and so denied it from entering. Thus, Vermont became an independent Republic, all though nearly everyone in the state wanted to join America. Their motto was even Stella Quarta Decima, which means 'The Fourteenth Star' in Latin (I.e, the Fourteenth star on the U.S flag). Not wanting to remain isolated and alone in the world, however, they actually tried to join British Quebec, but the British, sick of Vermont's BS for rebelling against them before, refused their entry. In 1791, the property dispute with New York was resolved, however, and Vermont joined the United States as the Fourteenth Star on the flag on March 4th, 1791, becoming the first former country to become a part of the United States (The other foreign countries to join us are Texas, California, West Florida and California. I don't count former states which rebelled like Deseret or the Confederacy). |
