*[[Persia]] => [[Iran]]
Some '''renamed countries''' are well known in the West:
*[[Siam]] => [[Thailand]]
*[[Zaire]] => [[Democratic Republic of Congo]]
*[[Persia]] => [[Iran]] - the language is still called [[Persian]]
*[[East Pakistan]] => [[Bangladesh]]
*[[Siam]] => [[Thailand]] - they speak [[Siamese]] or [[Thai]]
*[[East Pakistan]] => [[Bangladesh]] - formed after the partition of [[India]], over [[Gandhi]]'s protest
