After gaining independence, several nations emerged, notably in the mid-20th century during decolonization. Countries such as India and Pakistan were formed in 1947 from British India, while numerous African nations, like Ghana (1957) and Nigeria (1960), gained independence from colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. Additionally, the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to the formation of several independent states, including Ukraine and the Baltic nations. Each of these nations developed their own identities and governance systems post-independence.
For centuries, Russia had been either an independent country or an empire, from which other nations sought independence from time to time.
