Lost European Countries That (Sadly)No Longer Exist

From the Duchy of Carinthia, which was absorbed by the Habsburgs in 1335, to the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, a short-lived Austrian province split between Poland and Ukraine after WWII, many states once shaped the continent but later vanished. I also cover the Principality of Transylvania, which lost its autonomy under the Habsburgs, and the Kingdom of Majorca, annexed by Aragon in 1344. Other cases include Westphalia, a Napoleonic client state that collapsed in 1813, and the Duchy of Aquitaine, which was fully integrated into France in 1453. The Kingdom of the Suebi in Iberia fell to the Visigoths in 585 AD, while the Despotate of Epirus, a Byzantine successor state, was gradually taken over by larger powers. In the north, the Teutonic Order State was defeated and secularized in 1525, and the Gaelic kingdom of Dalriada merged into early Scotland by the 9th century. These vanished nations left cultural legacies, but shifting borders, wars, and political changes led to their disappearance.
