The Game of Naming
Country name changes are often snapshots of wars, revolutions, and independence. For instance, countries like Ethiopia and Hungary shifted names frequently as they transitioned between empires, kingdoms, and republics. Cambodia stands out as a witness to the ideological battles of the Cold War, with its name reflecting its political climate. Interestingly, some nations change names to shed colonial legacies, while others seek titles that better align with their evolving national identity.
