In 1968, British workmen entered what Bates claimed to be his territorial waters to service a navigational buoy near the platform. However, a court ruled that the platform (which Bates was now calling the "Principality of Sealand") was outside British territorial limits. Following the 1978 attack, Sealand claims that the visit of a German diplomat constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany. Since 1987, Sealand has been located within British territorial waters.

In 1934, the division seized much of Southern Xinjiang during the Soviet invasion of Xinjiang. The territory was commonly referred to as Tunganistan (or Dunganistan), which was first coined by Walther Heissig, but notably used in M. C. Jillet's 1937 interview with Ma Hushan, who had been commander of the division since the disappearance of Ma Zhongying in 1934.

The committee was dominated by the Palestine Arab Party, controlled by the Husayni family, and was immediately recognised by Arab League countries. The Mandate government recognised the new committee two months later. In February 1946, Jamal al-Husayni returned from exile to Palestine and immediately set about reorganising and enlarging the committee, becoming its acting president.
Arab Higher Front1946Formed by the Independence Party and other nationalist groups in objection to the newly reconstructed Arab Higher Committee. In May 1946, the Arab League forced the AHC and AHF to unite into the Arab Higher Executive.
Arab Higher Committee[ab]1946-1948In May 1946, the Arab League ordered the dissolution of the "Second Arab Higher Committee" and Arab Higher Front and formed a five-member Arab Higher Executive, under Amin al-Husayni's chairmanship, and based in Cairo. In January 1947, the AHE was renamed the "Arab Higher Committee", with Amin al-Husayni as its chairman and Jamal al-Husayni as vice-chairman, and expanded to include the four remaining core members plus Hasan Abu Sa'ud, Izhak Darwish al-Husayni, Izzat Darwaza, Rafiq al-Tamimi and Mu'in al-Madi. This restructuring of the AHC to include additional supporters of Amin al-Husayni was seen as a bid to increase his political power.

Due to poor financial management by the Phetsarath government, Prince Souphanouvong, who had been the commander of the Lao Issara defense force, had begun to become increasingly powerful in government. Souphanouvong had made clear his refusal to accept the new political set-up in Vientiane, and was ready to form a formal anti-colonial united front with the Viet Minh against the French. This repelled most of his colleagues, who began to oppose Souphanouvong's leadership in the Lao Issara. On 14 October 1949, due to the lack of cooperation within the movement, the Lao Issara announced its formal dissolution.

Truman; MacArthur was succeeded as supreme commander by General Matthew Ridgway in 1951. Unlike in the Allied occupations of Germany and Austria, the Soviet Union had little to no influence over the occupation of Japan, declining to participate because it did not want to place Soviet troops under MacArthur's direct command.

Hebei–Chahar Political Council1935-1937In 1935, under Japanese pressure, China signed the He-Umezu Agreement, which forbade the Kuomintang (KMT) from conducting party operations in Hebei and effectively ended Chinese control of that province. In the same year, the Chin-Doihara Agreement was signed and vacated the KMT from Chahar. By the end of 1935, the Chinese central government had virtually vacated from North China. In its place, the Japanese-backed East Hebei Autonomous Council was established on November 24, and Prince Teh, a leader of the Mongols in the provinces of what is now Inner Mongolia, was striving to set up an autonomous Mongolian Government there.

Kenji Doihara then tried to persuade General Song to set up an autonomous government in the Hebei - Chahar region. Resulting protests by Chinese citizens gave Japan the excuse to increase their garrison in the Tianjin area. To prevent the forcible establishment of a Japanese puppet state, Song Zheyuan established the Hebei–Chahar Political Council on 18th December 1935, controlling the remainder of Hebei and Chahar provinces. Although the Hebei–Chahar Political Council rendered lip service to the Japanese effort to secure the secession of the five provinces of North China (Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, and Suiyuan) it made no vital concessions, the Chinese government still remained in control through the council.

It was officially dissolved on 20th August 1937, two weeks after the fall of Beiping.

Suiyuan Mongol Council1936Based out of Guisui (Hohhot), it was under the control of Fu Zuoyi, and was also advised by Yan Xishan.

Kingdom of Svear98-c. 970Part of Sweden
Kingdom of Northumbria654-867Part of the United KingdomEarly medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom in what is now Northern England and southeast Scotland. Ceased to be an independent kingdom in the mid-tenth century when it was conquered by the Danes
Kingdom of Galloway800s-1110sSuibne mac Cináeda (d.1034) is the first recorded king of the Gall-ghàidhil, the people of Galloway, however it is estimated the kingdom formed sometime during the mid-9th century. In the early 12th century, David I of Scotland made efforts to bring Galloway under Scottish control. He appointed Norman nobles, such as Fergus of Galloway, as rulers of the region. Over time, Galloway's status as an independent kingdom waned, and it became a Lordship.
Kingdom of Alba843-1286The Kingdom of Scotland between it's founding by Kenneth I in 834 and the death of Alexander III in 1286. The latter's death led indirectly to an invasion of Scotland by Edward I of England in 1296 and the First War of Scottish Independence.
Kingdom of the Isles[9]849-1164Part of the United Kingdom and the Isle of ManKingdom under Norwegian suzerainty. An invasion by Magnus Barefoot in the late 11th century resulted in a brief period of direct Norwegian rule over the kingdom, but soon the descendants of Godred Crovan re-asserted a further period of largely independent overlordship. This came to an end with the emergence of Somerled, on whose death in 1164 the kingdom was split in two.
Danelaw[at]865-954Part of the United KingdomThe part of England in which the laws of the Danes held sway and dominated those of the Anglo-Saxons. The Danelaw contrasts with the West Saxon law and the Mercian law. The first recorded term to describe the polity was Dena lage, first being used in the early 11th century, with Danelaw being used at a later time.
Kingdom of Northumbria867-954The Kingdom of Northumbria following its defeat by the Danes. In 954, the kingdom was fully absorbed into England. The terms Kingdom of York and Kingdom of Jórvík have been widely used by historians to describe the polity to distinguish it from the traditional Kingdom of Northumbria.
Kingdom of Norway872-1397Part of Norway, Sweden, Russia, Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, and the United KingdomConstituent of the North Sea Empire (1013-1014; 1028-1035; 1040-1042)

Kingdom of Denmark, Kingdom of Norway, and the Kingdom of England1013-1014; 1016-1035; 1040-1042Part of the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and GermanyThe personal union of the kingdoms of England, Denmark, and Norway for most of the period between 1013 and 1042 towards the end of the Viking Age. This ephemeral Norse-ruled empire was a thalassocracy, its components only connected by and dependent upon the sea. The term North Sea Empire was coined by historians at the beginning of the 20th century, with the union historically being referred to by its individual parts: the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and England.
Kingdom of England1042-1206Part of the United KingdomThe Danish claim to the English throne was not renounced with the permanent collapse of the North Sea Empire, and was revived until as late as the 13th century. The Danes had as late as 1206 still not abandoned their hopes of reclaiming England, if Lambert of Ardres is to be believed.
Kingdom of England1066-1649; 1660-1707Under personal union with the Duchy of Normandy from 1066-1087, 1106-1144, 1154-1204/1259. Served as a constituent of both the Angevin Empire and Dual monarchy of England and France. Temporarily ceased to exist during the Interregnum. Formally ceased to exist with the commencement of the Acts of Union 1707.
Lordship of Galloway1110s-1234Despite Galloway's transition from kingdom to lordship, the Fergusan Dynasty continued until 1234 and the Laws of Galloway remained in force until 1426. It is thought that these laws originally derived their authority from the kings of Galloway.
Kingdom of England1138-1153English forces loyal to Empress Matilda and Henry Plantagenet during the Anarchy.
Our kingdom and everything subject to our rule whatever it may be1154-1214Part of the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Guernsey, and JerseyAs far as historians know, there was no contemporary term for the region under Angevin control; however, descriptions such as our kingdom and everything subject to our rule whatever it may be and the whole of the kingdom which had belonged to his father were used. The term Angevin Empire was coined by Kate Norgate in her 1887 publication, England under the Angevin Kings.
Principality of Powys Fadog1160-1277Part of the United KingdomThe realm was the northern portion of the former Kingdom of Powys upon its split in 1160. In early 1277 an army led by the Earl of Warwick marched from Chester into Powys Fadog. Madog II was compelled to submit and under the terms of his surrender, the realm would be divided between himself and his younger brother Llywelyn.
Principality of Powys Wenwynwyn1160-1283The realm was the southern portion of the former Kingdom of Powys upon its split in 1160.

Kingdom of Mann1265-1504Part of the Isle of ManRuled directly by the Kings of Scotland from 1265-1290, 1293-1296, 1313-1317, and 1328-1333. Ruled directly by the Kings of England from 1290-1293, 1296-1313, and 1317-1328.

Lordship of Denbigh1284-1536Created by Edward I for the Earl of Lincoln. As a marcher lordship, Denbigh was not a part of the Kingdom of England and was a de facto independent territory subject to feudal allegiance to the Crown. Although it became merged with the crown in 1461, it retained its identity as a Lordship outside of the Kingdom of England until it was effectively incorporated into the kingdom by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. Although the lordship still technically exists, with the King as its holder, its remaining lands, chiefly common land (for example, on Denbigh Moors), are vested in the Crown Estate.
Kingdom of Scotland1286-1652/1654; 1660-1707Unrecognized by the Kingdom of England from 1290 to 1328 and 1332 to 1357, which was reinforced by the Papal States from 1306 to 1320 until the Declaration of Arbroath was proclaimed. Entered into a personal union with England following the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Independent for 2 years during the Anglo-Scottish war (1650–1652). The proclamation of the Tender of Union on 4 February 1652 regularised the de facto annexation of Scotland by the Commonwealth of England.

Kingdom of France1340-1360; 1369-1801Part of FranceFrom the 1340s to the 19th century the kings and queens of England (and later Great Britain) claimed the throne of France. The claim dates from Edward III, who claimed the French throne in 1340 as the sororal nephew of the last direct Capetian, Charles IV. The claim was temporarily revoked by the terms of the Treaty of Brétigny. The enforcement of the claim was briefly successful in the early 1420s under Henry V and Henry VI. Served as a constituent of the Dual monarchy of England and France. Ended with the Acts of Union 1800 on 1 January 1801, by which time France no longer had any monarch, having become a republic.

During the rebellion's height between 1403 and 1406, Owain exercised control over the majority of Wales after capturing several of the most powerful English castles in the country and formed a national parliament at Machynlleth.
Dual monarchy of England and France1422-1453Part of the United Kingdom and FranceExisted during the latter phase of the Hundred Years' War when Charles VII of France and Henry VI of England disputed the succession to the throne of France. It commenced on 21 October 1422 upon the death of King Charles VI of France, who had signed the Treaty of Troyes which gave the French crown to his son-in-law Henry V of England and Henry's heirs. In practical terms, King Henry's claim to de jure sovereignty and legitimacy as king of France was only recognised in the English and allied-controlled territories of France which were under the domination of his French regency council, while the Dauphin ruled as King of France in part of the realm south of the river Loire. The dual monarchy came to an end with the capture of Bordeaux by Charles VII's forces on 19 October 1453 following their final victory at the Battle of Castillon, thus bringing the Hundred Years' War to a conclusion.
Lincolnshire1470Part of the United KingdomPopular uprising against King Edward IV in 1470. It was sponsored by Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, who had once been loyal to the king but had gradually fallen out with him, opposing his unpopular marriage and aspects of English foreign policy.

Warbeck was captured at Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire, while the remains of the Cornish army surrendered at Taunton.

British Empire1707-1783Former British colonies and British Overseas TerritoriesFormed with the commencement of the Acts of Union 1707 from the English and Scottish overseas possessions.
