which are the first european states to become a nation, also which of them are first in asia and america?

Question

the states that were knowned to be the first nations that had any type of government

Answer 1

It's when you have a central government that an area becomes a nation. This happened in Italy during the Roman era, but Italy later split into city states. It happened in Greece, but they were conquered by Rome.

The first European state that I know of that became a nation and stayed a nation with its own identity is England. Even though the Normans conquerered it, it retained its own identity and was never sub-divided.

In Asia, it was China.

In the Americas, it was the USA

Answer 2

Are you limiting your question to nations that still exist as nations? Many very early ancient kingdoms were destroyed of have become parts of larger countries. But here are some that have existed continuously for various lengths of time:

Ecgbert (or Egbert) of Wessex, who died in 839, is considered the first King of all England. Denmark was a single kingdom from about the same time. And France was united under Clovis in the early 500s. (Although it was divided among his four sons at his death, it reunified under the ancestors of Charlemagne.) In Asia, China was a kingdom well before the birth of Christ; and in the New World, since most of the countries were European possessions until the 19th or 20th century, surely the first nation is the one founded in 1776 in Philadelphia.
