What are the 3 oldest countries in Europe?

Answer 1

Today's borders may not correspond to the ancient regions... so there are some differences. But in general, Greece is very old... former world-ruler-nation. Macedonia has an old and very known name, too. The "region" Italy is even mentioned in The Bible. And the old Romans called the "region" of today's Spain Hispania... but it belonged de facto to the Roman Empire. It might also be confusing that the English language calls the population of Germany Germans... there were a lot of German tribes in ancient times... but this does not (always) directly correspond to Germany. Germany is one of those countries which were formed relatively late... leading to territorial clashes in the last century, because other big-player-nations already occupied a lot of colonies around the world.

To give an average idea, Greece and the Roman Empire existed already in the years B.C. But these regions are only the roots of today's nations. Other European countries grew up later, sometimes in form of regional unions.

That's as a whole correct. But I admit it's somewhat abstract, too. Look at a map of Europe... most of the big nations have very old roots.
