Explanation

South Korea gained independence on August 15, 1948, exactly one year after India's independence on August 15, 1947. This historical coincidence makes South Korea the answer to this trivia question. Bangladesh gained independence in 1971, South Africa in 1910 (as a Union, became a republic in 1961), and Germany in 1871 (unification) and 1990 (reunification).
