Israel is a big example of a historical nation that was recreated in statehood following the shakeup of WWII. I read a very good AAR where France recreates 'Phoenicia' out of Syria, Lebanon and Cyprus. Of course, that AAR takes place in a timeline where those nations were never formed in the first place, but whatever.
