Sure, a lot of European countries are newer than most Americans think, but those are much smaller than the entire Indian subcontinent and often much more closely tied as a culture or ethnicity. This is not like German Unification, this is what happens when people decide that Swedes, Germans, the French, Spanish and Portuguese should all be one country, and then throw on Turkey because fuck you I guess.
