Notes:
- Formally recognizing a country and establishing ties are two different things. As such, revoked ties are marked with the red diamonds.
- Obviously many ongoing conflicts were simplified or not shown because the focus is on diplomatic recognition.
- For occupying powers, their position is what is shown. (Example: US-occupied Japan recognizing Israel despite Japan itself not recognizing it until 1952)
- For cases where the exact date of recognition is not known, the year of independence is chosen.
