Euskadi

The Republic of Euskadi (Basque: Euskadiko Errepublika) is a nation that was formed as an independent state on October 7, 1936, just months after the starting of the Spanish Civil War. Later, during World War II and in reliance on the Atlantic Charter, the Basque territories in southwestern France as well as other departments and french overseas territories decided to join the Republic of Euskadi.

At present, the Republic of Euskadi is formed by the mainland, the overseas counties and two autonomous regions in Africa.
