If by that you mean failed to gain the support of a 3rd of your population, failed to gain land in the north despite trying, relied entirely on the French, and the Brits finally succumbed to political pressure when they realised the war was costing them more than Americans were worth, and leaving enough on the table that another war was necessary just over 30 years later, then yes, Congratulations on succeeding in your childish-treason tantrum against Britain!

just a technicality: though the emperor of Japan was sometimes more a puppet than a real statesperson, his house was never dethroned, only challenged at the schismatic Genkou war when the Kamakura shogun tried to enthrone a cousin after making the emperor Go Daigo flee
what they would do instead is mix their blood to the emperor's line and rule the country as fathers-in-law. Japan is the oldest and most peculiar aristocracy in the world because of it

Technically our country is only like 26 years old. German national identity predates that by a significant margin though, I'd say during the heyday of the
>
>
>
something you could call a German identity was arising. It mostly had to do with romanticizing Arminius, him defeating the Romans and basically acting as if the Germanic tribes had formed a single entity (they didn't, they were constantly at war with each other).
After the Frankish Empire split up in Germany and France, things started to quiet down. We went a bit overboard with nationalism starting in the 15th century and so, and now we're on the opposite end of the spectrum. Patriotism is frowned upon and we're mostly self-hating in regards to our country (unless there's a big football event, like right now, you'll see German flags everywhere)

Canadian independence is considered to be 1867
The later changes were minor government shifts.
For example the American Republican party came about sometime in the 1850s or 60s, but you wouldn't count that as the start of America, just a change government to what it is today.

there are more differences between Afrikaans and Dutch than there are between what we could call British and American English
>>61684528
Afrikaans is more like bad Jamaican English.
>>61684643
>>61684528
>>61677348
Never even knew Afrikaans was Dutch.
Why the fuck? Why isn't it South African English?
I know we fought for Angola, was Namibia Dutch?
>>61684745
South Africa has more native Afrikaans speakers than native English speakers.
>>61684813
I knew that, I just didn't know is was dutch. I vaguely remember thinking that it was English mixed with an African dialect, but then I heard wrong.
>>61684745
Namibia was Dutch, and then British through South Africa
When South Africa gained independence, it took Namibia with it. Namibia asked for independence and South Africa sorta said "no"
As for why Afrikaans is spoken in South Africa, as far as I understand, the Brits didn't want another Boer War, so left them to do their own shit (well, as much as you could do as a dominion)
>>61684863
I think it stopped being counted as Dutch in the 70's or something. I think for political reasons because some Dutch dialects are more different than Afrikaans. But Afrikaans is quite different in general.
Like they don't use suffixes, use less articles, don't use all past tenses and use contracted versions of words. And they use double denials.
>>61670666
>>61674999
>trips responding to trips
>no one checks em
checked
>>61684945
So when a Dutch person talks to someone who speaks Afrikaans then:
The Afrikaans speaker will hear lots of useless stuff he has never heard before.
The Dutch speaker will feel the sentences of the Afrikaans speaker are incomplete and not precise enough.
>>61684899
>>61684945
Neat. We never learn a lot about that part of history because we're busy learning that the Spanish married into our throne and diverted the Indian Armada fleets to the Atlantic to get destroyed by the Brits, and leaving the ones in the Indies to be destroyed by the dutch.
The period we like to call "And then everything went to shit".
>>61685154
The British took over South Africa from the Netherlands when the Netherlands was being invaded by the French during the French revolution.
>>61685197
And Japan invaded Indonesia when the Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany.
See a pattern here?
724 years and 338 days
>>61685197
Ah, so when the French were invading us and we were poor and defenceless from before, coupled with an earthquake that destroyed our capital, so the king fled to Brazil and the Brits helped our now independent country defend against the Franks, but Brazil started the war for independence.
The period we like to call "and then the shit continued"
![350px-Lorenzale_-_Creació_de_l'escut_de_Barcelona[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7EjksON.jpg "350px-Lorenzale_-_Creació_de_l'escut_de_Barcelona[1].jpg")
Guifré el Pilós died in 897 and gave his lands to his children thus disobeying the Franks and becoming independent
The Catalan nation is roughly 1100 years old
1520 years.
Oldest than Islam.
The Netherlands has no real founding date. Our independence war took 80 years and we became independent during that period.
So about 450 years.

Rurik wasn't slavic himself, so no, you aren't.

The first relevant state was Carthage, 3000 years ago
The muslim state is from 1300 years ago, the capital was moved to Tunis 800 years back
All of our current symbols and culture are heavily influenced by turkish influence, that was 500 years ago.
Last thing is becoming a Republic, it happened almost 60 years ago.
So my country is really 60 years old, but we have 3000 years of recorded (and somewhat relevant) history.
>>61694488
the Vatican is a country with it's land greatly diminished.
It controlled some land given to it by Charlemagne dad after he killed some goths or some such tribe.
then in the unification of italy the pope holed up in his house, condemming the nation of itally and saying italy was not a country. This continued for a few popes.
Then Mussolini got tired of the popes shit, and in desire to keep the popes influence out of any major war that would probably happen he agreed to recognize the Vatican independence, and give a few streets and buildings to the pope if he acted like the Swiss during the future war.
And then the papacy claims to be the oldest country, while Greeks where undoubtedly conquered by Rome after they split into warring city states after Alexander died, became part of east rome, got fucked by a crusade, got conquered by the ottomans, stayed ottoman for years and got released after modern states where in full swing.
Egypt was split into three kingdoms with interim periods between them, conquered by foreigners, freed by and willingly joined Alexander with him as pharo as he did the smart thing and put himself into their system and culture so they would accept him, one of his generals took over Egypt and was held by his dynasty for a while, and went the same way as as Greece from there with different caliphates.
japan has gone through a period when they split into many different warring clans. and got re conquered and westernized two times. One was after some US whalers wanted to use their waters so they asked the us navy to tell them to not be so isolationist. another time was after the war when the US didn't want the soviets taking control.
Although all that is meaningless, nation states as an idea only came up in the mid-late 1600s.

The concept of nation states in Europe weren't formed until later on, meaning people were united by cultures and geography. Europe was a lot more tribal essentially. This isn't to say that European countries didn't exist, it's just that certain things were looked at as more important in terms of cultural similarity. That's why the Von Habsburgs dominated the Holy Roman Empire for a long time. And yeah, like a lot of anons said, political alliances and such.

When is a nation born, anyway? Is there a book of nations you have to input a flag and name into?
Sweden, as in the Swedish people have existed for a bloody long time, even the 2000 year old book Germania mentioned us by name. Then again they said we were good at building boats which we all know is a complete and utter lie.
