	You could also add Bangladesh as a dissolution of Pakistan. Or maybe it is a breakaway.

Comment below threshold: show it

	i thought india and pakistan were a two-state dissolution in 1948. also jordan was a union of two states in 1948. also israel/palestine was dissolved (but in 1947).

	Also Senegambia, Tanzania, United Arab Republic (kinda)

	Great quiz!

	Good grief, I got all the former Soviet Republics...except Russia. Facepalm!

	Senegal and the Gambia and what about the Austro Hungarian empire?

	If you wanted, you could add states that were in the former Ottoman Empire, although there would be some overlap with the former Yugoslavia.

	Egypt and Iraq formed and then later disolved the UAR. India/Pakistan is a big omission.

	I'm glad I wasn't the only one who got everything under Soviet Union except "Russia" :P Another interesting one to add might be Newfoundland and Canada (Newfoundland became a part of Canada in 1949)

	Don't forget about Vietnam, just like Germany, it split apart and then was reunited.

	nowachi:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 01:11 GMT		1 point
	Sorry I forgot to include Senegambia and Vietnam (that's a pretty obvious one). I'm working on adding some others (keeping 5 minutes as the time) What are your thoughts on adding UAR and Tanzania's acquisitions/unifications?

	The US also had the Philippines until 1946.

	Ukraine, anyone?

	micah:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 16:39 GMT		1 point
	What about Singapore as a breakaway from Malaysia?

	cuendillar:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 16:43 GMT		1 point
	What about adding the China/Taiwan split, if an actual date can be found?

	nowachi:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 21:22 GMT		1 point
	China/Taiwan are bonus answers, since PRC obviously does not recognize ROC.

	If you include India/Pakistan in 1947 (at independence), then you should add Somalia/Somaliland. Also "2-state dissolution" is too vague; it's worth the extra line or two to be clearer about the distinction you're making. I'm not sure about Senegambia being a country; if you allow that, you'd probably have to add sundry and ephemeral changes to the UAR and Libya (which had some kind of union with Tunisia). Also the Mali Federation, the West Indies Federations and the Central African Federation (Rhodesia & Nyasaland). It's hard to draw fast lines unless you cut a strict one.

	Some of the entries should be included under more than one heading, e.g. Serbia and Montenegro are both "Yugoslavia" and "2-State Dissolution". If that's feasible.

	Great Quiz. I can tell i sporcle too much though, i was able to name all the countries that came from soviet union (including all those -stans) except Russia!

	Vivitarbebb:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 09:38 GMT		1 point
	Fun quiz but it needs som fine ajustements. Never knew about UAR before, interesting to learn new stuff.

	Interesting and challenging...nice idea.
