Over the last 100 years, several countries have decided to change their capital cities. These changes are often driven by various factors, including political, economic, or strategic reasons. For some nations, moving the capital represents a shift towards a more centrally located or less congested area. Others seek to promote development in different parts of the country, reduce overcrowding in the former capital, or symbolize a new era in the nation's history. Examples include Brazil moving its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja, and Kazakhstan from Almaty to Astana (formerly Nur-Sultan). These changes often reflect broader ambitions for modernization, national unity, or geopolitical strategy.
