You only used 6/10 options, not like you reach out if space It is iffy to call hundreds of tribes "the Germans"... particularly because that's a Roman term for the region, that they never had any perception of being. However, they were ancestors of modern Germans. So its not really iffy They are also the ancestors of modern French, English, northern Italians, etc... So are French German too? MeIon Bread posted... The reason I said that Germany only existed from 1871 onwards is because...it's true. The region was originally a bunch of nation states, and further back still, an administrative district of the Holy Roman Empire. It wasn't actually a country until 1871, although I'm sure people will try and make out otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Germany "Germany" was a place before the German Empire. It just became increasingly decentralized until it was finally reunited again. --- David Mink.
