List of former sovereign states

A historical sovereign state is a state that once existed, but has since been dissolved due to conflict, war, rebellion, annexation, or uprising. This page lists sovereign states, countries, nations, or empires that have ceased to exist as political entities, grouped geographically and by constitutional nature.[note 1]

The most recent sovereign states to cease to exist within each continent are:

* Africa: The Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, which was overthrown in a civil war in 2011 to form the State of Libya.
* Asia: The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, which was overthrown by the Taliban in 2021 after a 20-year long armed conflict to form the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
* Europe: Serbia and Montenegro was dissolved in 2006, which later formed the modern separate countries of Montenegro and Serbia, as well as the partially recognized state of Kosovo since 2008, which is claimed by Serbia. Russia annexed four oblasts of Ukraine following disputed referendums in 2022.
* North America: The Duvalier dynasty of Haiti, which was removed in 1986 to form the Republic of Haiti.
* South America: The Republic of Venezuela, which was reformed in 1999 into the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

## Criteria for inclusion[edit | edit source]

The criteria for inclusion in this list are similar to that of the list of states with limited recognition. To be included here, a polity must have claimed statehood and either:

* had de facto control over a territory, a population, a government, a capacity to enter into relations with other states, or
* have been recognised as a state by at least one other state.

For purposes of this list, the cutoff between medieval and early modern states is the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
