After the First World War, several new nations emerged in Europe as a result of the redrawing of borders and the dissolution of empires. Here are five nations that were established:
- Czechoslovakia - Formed in 1918 from territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
- Yugoslavia - Established in 1918, uniting several South Slavic peoples after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
- Poland - Reestablished as a nation in 1918 after being partitioned in the late 18th century.
- Hungary - Became an independent nation following the dissolution of Austro-Hungary, although it lost significant territories.
- Finland - Declared independence from Russia in 1917, recognized internationally shortly after the end of World War I.
These countries were significantly shaped by the political changes during and after the war, leading to the reconfiguration of national boundaries in Europe.
