Germany wasn't even unified in 1871, not 500 years ago.

Doesn't matter when it became an official unified nation. They obviously have strong ties to Austria, Hungary etc due to some shared history, but there is still a much longer history of Germany identity that spans far further back than 1871. I would know, I'm half Austrian.

Yeah it does matter, it shows that nationalism is a much more modern concept than you're making it out to be.
