All the 'this is DIVORCE 4EVER' crap grates with me too. Leaving aside that no country that has gained independence has ever asked to reunify, there is precisely nothing to stop our successors 25, 50, 100 years from now from reunifying if it is what both nations wanted. If (as an admittedly ridiculous example) Ireland wanted to become part of the UK again, and we were minded to have them, there would be nothing to prevent it.

Depends on your definitions of 'gained' and 'independence', but I seem to remember DDR asking to re-unify with [BRD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRD_(Germany)), and being allowed to do so.

Ahaha. Well, not the split and reunification of Germany, for a start.
