Britain and France
California, Vermont, Texas, Hawaii While this question asks for four, it should be noted there were other republics that joined the Union: Republic of West Florida (Approx 3 months before the US annexed it.) Republic of South Carolina (Existed for almost two months before the formation of the Confederacy) (But, for the sake of the question, they were previously part of the union. You could count, if you want to, the first time S.C. declared itself a republic. On 3/26/1776, they declared their independence from Great Britain, more than 3 months before the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Whether it was recognized or not is a different matter. That being said, the California Republic was not recognized by any nation either and lasted less than a month.)
