You may refer to Texas, which became an independent country (as the Republic of Texas) between 1836 when it seceded from Mexico and 1846 when it was admitted to the United States. However, the adjective "important" is open to discussion. In fact, another "important" country would be California (as the Republic of California) which during the Mexican-American War also seceded from Mexico on June 14, 1846 to be finally captured by the US Military on July 19, 1846.
