@evan already recognised, and they even had passports and international relations and everything so my question is why did they ever stop being recognised?
Just looked it up and realised the British mandate passports were the closest they had (unless you count the PA passports they issue nowadays, but that's with conditions)
@evan I find the question quite weird because we're all just citizens, and as such we can't “recognise” a state – we can only demand our governments to do so. If your question was whether we think that it is a state, my answer would be no, as it lacks a proper government and sovereignty.
Taiwan, on the other hand, de-facto is IMO a state, as it has a functioning government and considerable sovereignty. The fact that it isn't recognised by the int'l community doesn't influence my view.
