A continuación se muestra una lista de estados soberanos con las fechas de su formación (fecha de su independencia o de su constitución), ordenados por continente.

Esta lista incluye los 195 estados que actualmente son estados miembros de las Naciones Unidas o estados observadores no miembros en la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas. Esto no incluye estados extintos, pero sí incluye varios estados con reconocimiento limitado.

Para los estados propuestos o varias naciones indígenas que se consideran todavía bajo ocupación, consulte la lista de movimientos autonomistas y secesionistas activos.

La construcción de una nación es un proceso evolutivo largo y, en la mayoría de los casos, la fecha de "formación" no puede determinarse objetivamente; por ejemplo, el hecho de que Inglaterra y Francia fueran reinos soberanos en pie de igualdad en el período medieval no prejuzga el hecho de que Inglaterra no sea ahora un estado soberano (habiendo pasado la soberanía a Gran Bretaña en 1707), mientras que Francia es una República fundada en 1870. (aunque el término Francia generalmente se refiere al actual gobierno de la Quinta República Francesa, formado en 1958).

Una medida inequívoca es la fecha de las constituciones nacionales; pero como las constituciones son un concepto casi enteramente moderno, todas las fechas de formación según ese criterio son modernas o tempranas (la constitución más antigua que existe es la de San Marino, que data de 1600).

Las fechas de independencia de los Estados ampliamente reconocidos antes de 1919 deben tratarse con cautela, ya que antes de la fundación de la Liga de las Naciones, no existe un órgano internacional que reconozca la nacionalidad, y la independencia no tiene sentido más allá del reconocimiento mutuo de la de facto soberanos (el papel de la Liga de las Naciones fue asumido efectivamente por las Naciones Unidas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial). Véase también: territorios en disputa.

Muchos países tienen alguna fecha de fundación simbólica remota (o fantásticamente remota) como parte de su mitología nacional, a veces inflando artificialmente la "edad" de un país. por razones de nacionalismo, a veces simplemente señalando un proceso largo y gradual de formalización de la identidad nacional. Estas fechas no reflejan la formación de un estado (una entidad política independiente).

La siguiente lista contiene las fechas de formación de los países con una breve descripción de los eventos de formación. Para obtener una descripción más detallada de la formación y la historia de un país, consulte el artículo principal de ese país.

Notas del cuadro
  1. ^ a b c La fecha de formación de los estados actuales de Estonia, Letonia y Lituania está sujeta a una controversia internacional. Estonia, Letonia y Lituania sostienen que estaban ocupados ilegalmente por la Unión Soviética, y que los estados actuales son continuación directa de los estados anteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que siguieron existiendo a través de los gobiernos en vigor. Rusia sostiene que los tres estados actuales son entidades legalmente distintas recién creadas después de la disolución de la Unión Soviética. Los tres estados fueron admitidos como naciones independientes, no estados sucesores de la URSS. Para más información, consulte la continuidad del Estado de los estados bálticos.

Lista ordenable

En esta lista, "fecha de la última subordinación" se refiere a la última fecha de control por parte de un gobierno externo. La lista muestra grandes agrupaciones asociadas con las fechas de independencia de la descolonización (por ejemplo, 41 estados actuales obtuvieron el control de la soberanía del Reino Unido y Francia entre 1956 y 1966) o disolución de una unión política (por ejemplo, 18 estados actuales obtuvieron el control de la soberanía del Reino Unido). Unión Soviética y Yugoslavia entre 1990 y 1992). En otros casos, un estado soberano se sometió a una ocupación militar extranjera o a una subyugación política durante un período de tiempo y luego recuperó su independencia (por ejemplo, 6 estados actuales obtuvieron el control de la soberanía de la Alemania nazi entre 1944 y 1945).

Las fechas se refieren al gobierno u ocupación de facto del territorio principal, esté o no legitimado por el reconocimiento internacional.

En una unión como Checoslovaquia, la Unión Soviética o la Unión de Kalmar, uno de los constituyentes puede considerarse la potencia dominante (generalmente donde estaba ubicada la sede del gobierno). El Reino Unido es un caso particularmente complicado. Si se considera a Inglaterra como el miembro dominante, entonces la historia se puede rastrear desde la conquista romana, las invasiones sajonas, la unificación del siglo X y la conquista normanda de 1066 antes de la unión de Inglaterra y Escocia en 1707. Sin embargo, si se ve desde una perspectiva escocesa, Se puede rastrear una historia ininterrumpida de soberanía desde la unificación en 843 hasta la unión con Inglaterra en 1707 (con una breve anexión por parte de Inglaterra de 1657 a 1660). Algunos escoceses ven la unión de 1707 como una cesión de soberanía a Inglaterra.

Hay casos en los que un estado se extingue o abolió completamente sin tener estados sucesores. Casos como este ocurren cuando, por ejemplo, un Estado es anexado o conquistado por otro y deja de existir incluso en forma nominal (es decir, ni siquiera se establece un "gobierno en el exilio"). El caso más reciente en la historia de la humanidad es el de la República Democrática Alemana (Alemania Oriental), que fue completamente abolida tras la reunificación alemana. La Alemania moderna es una continuación de la República Federal de Alemania (Alemania Occidental), no es un estado sucesor.

Los historiadores modernos no consideran al Sacro Imperio Romano un estado, sino una entidad política que reúne a varios estados soberanos en una confederación.

No se debe confundir el concepto de Estado soberano con el de nación (por ejemplo hay incluso naciones sin Estado). Esta lista tiene la fecha de creación de los actuales estados soberanos pero no de las naciones. La historiografía de algunas naciones, como los búlgaros, incluso separa los diferentes estados fundados por estas naciones (por ejemplo el Primer, Segundo y Tercer Estado búlgaro).
