Did you ever stop to wonder which country is the first, or the oldest, country in the world? Of course, this is not an easy question to answer, because many countries have old stories that are part of their heritage, but perhaps some stories are not even known in the modern world.

But, to our delight, many geographers and historians can easily tell which ancient empires were a cluster of city-states or fiefdoms, not a nation, as it is in the world today. The Roman Empire, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union no longer exist, because today these "empires" have become several modern countries.

The great geographer Matt Rosenberg made the following statement on the subject: "Ultimately, it is difficult to assess which country is the oldest in the world because of a variety of complex factors. One might say that San Marino, Japan or China is the oldest country in the world and still needs it. " Unknown Facts will try to explain to you why these three countries are considered the oldest in the world.

Japan often claims to be the oldest country in the world, for in 660 BC, Emperor Jimmu (?) "Founded" the country. However, it was only in the 18th century that Japanese culture and Buddhism spread around the islands, and throughout its history, Japan had different types of governments and leaders, although the country commemorates its founding in 660 BC. rest of the world only considers that Japan became a real country in the 19th century.

While the imperial house of Japan claims Jimmu's offspring, many historians today feel that there was little actual evidence of his reign. Many historians claim that the reign of Emperor Kimmei (509-571 AD), the 29th emperor of Japan, according to tradition, was the first current emperor for which there are verifiable dates. Many archaeologists and historians consider Emperor Jimmu as a legendary figure who may have been a composite figure.

But now let's talk about the famous China. The country celebrates 221 BCE as its founding year, and it was at this time that Qin Shi Huang (???) became the first emperor of China. However, it was not until the Han Dynasty in the third century AD that a unified Chinese culture and tradition developed. The Republic of China was founded in 1912, and the People's Republic of China entered into force as early as 1949.

As in the history of Japan, a number of people believe that the story of Qin Shi Huang is nothing more than a myth. In 1874, thousands of terracotta warriors were found near a tomb, and since that discovery, archaeological investigations have revealed that this was where the first emperor was buried.

Well, dear readers, now let's talk about a country that few people know that it may be one of the oldest, which is the Republic of San Marino. It is well that San Marino is one of the smallest countries in Europe, with only 61 square kilometers. The country ranks third, after the Vatican and Monaco

San Marino claims to be the oldest republic in the world, was founded by a Christian mason named Marinus on September 3, 301. San Marino adopted a constitution written in 1600, but was not recognized as an independent sovereign country by the Pope until 1631.
