Social:Rump state

Short description: Reduced territory of a once-larger state
Kingdom of Soissons, a Roman rump state

A rump state is the remnant of a once much larger state, left with a reduced territory in the wake of secession, annexation, occupation, decolonization, or a successful coup d'état or revolution on part of its former territory.[1] In the last case, a government stops short of going into exile because it controls part of its former territory.

Examples

Modern history

  • Template:Country data Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was left as a rump state after the First Partition of Poland by Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1772.[19] The resulting rump state was partitioned again in 1793 and annexed outright in 1795. After Napoleon's victory in the War of the Fourth Coalition in 1807, he created a new Polish rump state, the Duchy of Warsaw.[20] After Napoleon's defeat, the Congress of Vienna created a state, Congress Poland in 1815.
  • The modern country of Luxembourg is the rump state of the former Duchy of Luxembourg, which lost two thirds of its territory due to multiple partitions between 1659 and 1839. This was cemented by the Treaty of London, which gave most of its former territory to newly-independent Belgium.[21]
  • The Republic of German-Austria was created in 1918 as the initial rump state for areas with a predominantly German-speaking population within what had been the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[22]
  • Ottoman Empire The Ottoman Empire became a rump state at the end of the First World War when Britain and France divided the majority of its territory into League of Nations mandate states.[23]
  • Template:Country data First Republic of Armenia Republic of Armenia became a rump state in 1920 after Turkish invasion.[24][25][26]

  • Taiwan The Republic of China towards the end of the Chinese Civil War retreated to the island of Taiwan.[30] Although the original territory was reduced to Kinmen and Matsu Islands, the ROC had obtained control of the island of Taiwan and Penghu from the Empire of Japan in 1945, a controversial status that remains legally debated to this day.[31]
  • Template:Country data FRY The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992–2003) / Serbia and Montenegro (2003–2006) was often viewed as the rump state left behind by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1945–1992) after it broke up.[32] SFR Yugoslavia itself was considered the 'rump Yugoslavia' for its last ten months, between Slovenian and Croatian declarations of independence on 25 June 1991 and the legal dissolution of Yugoslavia on 27 April 1992.[33]
  • Islamic Republic of Afghanistan The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan: After the Fall of Kabul in 2021, the Taliban forces defeated the Afghan military and forced it to relocate to the Panjshir Valley (beginning the Republican insurgency in Afghanistan). Despite controlling less than 1% of the territory of Afghanistan, it continues to remain the internationally recognized Government of Afghanistan.[34]

"Only after five more years did Esma‘il and the Qezelbash finally defeat the rump Aq Qoyunlu regimes. In Diyarbakr, the Mowsillu overthrew Zeynal b. Ahmad and then later gave their allegiance to the Safavids when the Safavids invaded in 913/1507. The following year the Safavids conquered Iraq and drove out Soltan-Morad, who fled to Anatolia and was never again able to assert his claim to Aq Qoyunlu rule. It was therefore only in 1508 that the last regions of Aq Qoyunlu power finally fell to Esma‘il."
