▶ In this video I talk about a few countries that have, throughout history, changed the location in which they exist. Starting with Bulgaria which previously existed in Crimea as "Great Old Bulgaria" then moving to the First Bulgarian Empire (where they now are) and the old Volga Bulgaria in Russia. Then talking about Ghana's connection (or lack thereof) with the Ghana Empire, something that also happens with Modern Benin and the Kingdom of Benin - although one is named in honor of its historic namesake, while the other simply has the same Etymology, respectively. Also taking a look at perhaps the greatest example of countries that moved their location: The Sovereign (Hospitaller Knights) Military Order of Malta; first established in Jerusalem, then moving to Cyprus, Rhodes, Malta and finally existing without territory today, only operationg through a building in Rhodes. Hungary is another example of a European country that technically moved its location, through the migration of the Magyars from Magna Hungaria in the Asian steppes into the Carpathian Basin. And finally taking a look at a few other states, countries or Empires throughout history that could arguably be said moved: such as the Mughal Empire, the Huns, the Angles, the Saxons, the Franks, or even Poland - should you expand the definition of "a country that moved" to location changes along a continuous territory.
