Diego Garcia, in the middle of nowhere but has has a number of owners/ administrators since it was first discovered.
Harbin in China is another, I think it was once part or claimed by Russia, then the Japanese had a turn through occupation and finally reclaimed by China under communist rule. Now it is a great place to visit in the winter for the ice festival.
Also been to Hong Hong, Macau and East Deutschland.
Whilst talking former colonies, would Singapore, India, Canada, Africa, the US and parts of South America etc., also be included. From memory most of the world was once claimed by the Poms and other Europeans e.g. Germany, France, Spain etc. Then there is Korea claimed I think by both Japan and China at some stage then split in two last century. Further what other Asian countries would be considered to be part of Japan during their occupation.
As for the list, I meant it as you visited the place in its former state (and perhaps afterwards as well)
