Yes, you are right, we live in the age of information, and no one can lie anymore! But at the same time, many can spread misinformation as well! You yourself said that Iran used to refer to a much larger area. That is true. But Iran lost those areas in wars. That, however, does not change the fact that the name Iran existed from dawn of Iranian history. Other parts, such as Afghanistan, Tajikstan, Azerbaijan, etc. can also call themselves Iran or part of greater Iran. But the fact stays. Iran existed for thousands of years. There was no name change. Only asking the Westerners not to call it Persia and use Iran instead. You can see ver old books (e.g. Shahname Ferdowsi) using the name Iran. And in more ecent documents (but much older than 88 years) such as treties between Iran and other countries, coins, stamps, etc. that the name Iran has been used. So, if you are after the truth, please check these.

“You are incorrect. The name Iran is older than the writings of Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and was used for the Persian Empire (Sasanians) before Islam, known as (Iran Shahr). But if we go further back, we find that the term Iran is very old. For example, the name Iran was used in the writings of Avesta, the Zoroastrian religious book, but it was only used in the Zoroastrian religious book and was not referred to a land or country. For instance, the largest empire of all ancient times, the Achaemenid Persians, called their country the land of the sun and still the land of the Persians. The reason for this was that they were Persian, like the Romans who called themselves Roman and not Italian.”

Yugoslavia was reduced from six constituent republics to merely Serbia and Montenegro before changing names to The Union of Serbia and Montenegro and finally separating into Serbia and Montenegro.

“Siam” is the exonym used by Burmese and Mon-Khmer-speaking, originally referring to Tai-speaking groups living in Chaophraya valley (Central Thailand), Shan people in Salwin valley and Ahom people (Asam) in Brahmaputra valley. The name is found in Old Burmese (hsyam) and Angkorian Khmer (syam) inscriptions and Middle Chinese records (暹 *syem). The word “thai” originally means “(free) people” from Proto-Tai *k.daj, the same root with Tai, Tay, Dai, Hlai, Sui, as opposite to “kha” (Proto-Tai *k.ra) which means slave. The word “thai” in modern Lao means “people” in general but Lao people call their nation “Lao” which means “noble man” since Lanxang kingdom, from Proto-Tai *k.raw, the same root as Rau (Zhuang), Gelao, Mulao, etc. It’s also found in Old Chinese records as 獠 *k.raw which Chinese used to call the southern barbarians (Old Yue people) living in modern-day Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and northern Vietnam. The name “Thai” was used as autonym by Siamese people since Ayutthaya period while western merchants called “Siam” and Chinese called 暹羅 (Old Mandarin *siemluo) which is a merger of 2 ancient states: 暹 (Siem) or “Suvarnabhumi kingdom” in the west bank of Chaophrya river (Mon- and Tai-speaking) and 羅 (Luo) or “Lavo kingdom” in the east bank of Chaophraya river (Khmer-speaking). 暹羅 was also borrowed by Ryukyuans as “shinra” when Ryukyu kingdom conducted trading with Ayutthaya. In present day, Tai-speaking groups in Myanmar’s Shan State, India’s Assam State, China’s Yunnan province and northern Vietnam still call themselves “Tai” like Thai people in Thailand, spelled as “Dǎi” (傣) in Mandarin Chinese and “Thái” or “Tày” in Vietnamese. Modern Chinese call Thailand 泰国 (tàiguó) that is brought to Korean as 태국 (taeguk).

You got it wrong with Tanzania. It was called Tanganyika during colonial rule. After independence of Tanganyika in 1961. The country was still called Tanganyika until 1964 when the island of zanzibar and the mainland country Tanganyika decided to unite in one country which officially changed the name to Tanzania.

“In fact, the West uses an ancient word where the great land of the Achaemenid Persians unified the entire region for the first time and became the largest empire of all antiquity. The name of this region in ancient stone inscriptions is (Parsa). That’s why in Iran they don’t call their language Iranian, they call it Persian. This itself is a document that shows why the official language of the country in Iran is called Persian and the poetry books in Iran did not say anything in Iranian, but they named their language Persian. You can read the poems of Rumi to increase your knowledge.”

@@Sir-doigoreo Are you kidding me right now? Avesta is a Zoroastrian religious book. What does such a word in Avesta have to do with the name of a country? The name of the country is chosen by the rulers who seize power. The Persian ruler Achaemenid did not use the word Iran in any of the ancient Persian writings, but used the word (Aria), which was not for the name of the country. The Achaemenids called their race Aryan and Persian, and they named their land according to the existing documents (huriveh) and (parsa). Something that was spilled in the world (persia) was named. Therefore, the Achaemenids did not call their country Iran. The Sassanid Persians were the ones who named their country (Iran Shahr). The documents are available.

@@Sa-tp6wjYou are talking about ancient Iran, about which there is very little information. First, Iran is mentioned in Achaemenid inscriptions: nap harriyanam Second, Avesta is the most important source of information from this era because it shows the thinking of the general public, the Iranian prophet Zoroaster always mentioned the word Iran. Thirdly, Greek sources mostly referred to this dynasty as the Persian Empire because of the Achaemenid dynasty, which had Persian ancestry, while Cyrus also had a Median ancestry.

The name Türkiye actually did not change. The name of the country is actually Türkiye in Turkish language, so the international name of the country has become the same as in Turkish language. Since Turkey actually has a different meaning and is considered an insult by the people of this country, the name of the country has changed to Turkey in all languages of the world, as in Turkish.

Wrong or better: Italy proclamed it as its colony but the full control over this country wasn't everywhere, there were portion of the former Abyssinia that were still fighting the italian occupation when Italians were defeated by Britain in 1941. Formally Ethiopia was a colony and Italy was sanctioned by the League of Nations for its aggression to Abyssinia. Addis Abeba, the capital, was occupied and the following day Mussolini proclamed the birth of the Italian Empire. The King Victor Emanuel III was proclamed King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia and the Italian East Africa created (it included not only Ethiopia but also Somalia and Eritrea). The point is that Ethiopians (or should we call them Abyssinians, as the toponyms "Ethiopia" was given to their country by Italians?) as I wrote before, continued to fight the italian rule and their rebellion was never really suppressed even if were used chemical weapons and were made mass slaughters. Crimes of which I am really sorry and that in Italy is not talked about it at all.

We Greeks like geography very much, and the second best hobby we have is giving names to foreiners. Like Persia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, etc. When some foreigners approached our Land with not very good intentions (remember Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis), we asked them: -What is the name of your Language ? And they replied: -Pharshi. So, we named them Persians. Who did we supposed to know that their Language and their Ethnicity had different names ? In all the world, French speak French, Rusians speak Russian, Espanioles speak Espaniol, Arabs speak Arabic, and Hebrews speak Hebrow. But Iranians speak Pharshi ! Our sincere apologies dear Persxxxxx ...Iranians, not our fault. Next time you come to invade Greece, be more accurate: -We speak a language called Pharshi but we call ourselves Ayranians, so don't make the same mistake for the next 4.524 years crazy Greeks.
