In a certain anachronistic way he was Dutch, the lex salica, one of the greatest accomplishments of the Frankish empire had a small part written on it which we now generally accept als old Dutch.

>Old Dutch maltho thi afrio lito
>(Modern) Dutch ik meld, jou* bevrijd ik, laat**

Charlesmagne was from a later time, but he did speak the same Germanic language for all we know. So in a certain way he is Dutch, though I personally would be a bit careful with such anachronisms.

>Upon graduating in September 1785, Bonaparte was commissioned a second lieutenant in La Fère artillery regiment.[21][note 4] He served in Valence and Auxonne until after the outbreak of the Revolution in 1789, and took nearly two years' leave in Corsica and Paris during this period. At this time, he was a fervent Corsican nationalist, and wrote to Corsican leader Pasquale Paoli in May 1789, "As the nation was perishing I was born. Thirty thousand Frenchmen were vomited on to our shores, drowning the throne of liberty in waves of blood. Such was the odious sight which was the first to strike me."

>Anne died of pneumonia on 6 February 1948, aged 20, at Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. Upon her death, her father said: "Now, she's like the others." ("Maintenant, elle est comme les autres.")

>On 22 August 1962, Charles de Gaulle was the victim of an attempted assassination at Petit-Clamart. He later said that the potentially fatal bullet had been stopped by the frame of the photograph of Anne that he always carried with him, placed this particular day on the rear shelf of his car.

The Germans are the ones who made it into an actual ideology rather than just garden variety xenophobia, the French and the German men of letters in the 19th century had significant debates and clashes over their alternate meanings of nationhood and belonging - German by blood, French by civic-ness and a shared historical consciousness.

>>
>>2420328
It's not actually.

It's a quote from a famous Irish nationalist about Wellington. Wellington himself didn't really comment on his Irishness or lack thereof.
>>
>>2421061
this is completely wrong
italy and germany had existing identities which is why there was always a will to unify them
france was already a country and had to create a nation

>>2421210
Italian unification was a thing since Machiavelli
The reason "only a few rich educated italians" wanted unification is because the poor didn't read and obviously were unaware of such ideas
Public opinion only becomes relevant once your average person can actually read

>>2421054
Before the french revolution, very few people in france spoke french since the kings didn't care what their vassals spoke
This meant that even during the revolution, most people in france didn't speak french as their first language, and it wasn't until the third republic that the french identity was solidly founded in the country
To dismiss napoleon as not being french because it wasn't his first language means barely anyone in france was actually french

I answered your first question. Yes, France existed.

As for your second question, no, countries aren't the same thing as nations. The first country to emerge as a nation was France. If you want an exact date, the battle of Bouvines in 1214 is usually considered the first clear expression of it.

You're just saying meaningless shit. "France existed but not in the same way", explain what the fuck you're trying to say or shut up. Your comparison with the 13 colonies is idiotic, France wasn't a colony.

How to spot the retarded memester
As soon as the 10th century, most of Northern France spoke French (pic related, in blue)
The Southern half was almost entirely able to speak French by the end of the 16th century (although they retained their regional languages too), same for Brittany
It's only Alsace that really didn't speak French until the Revolution (mostly because they were annexed only in the mid-17th century)

Yeah, because if you have one far off ancestor from somewhere you're 100% that, right?
His one Tuscan ancestor had arrived to Corsica two fucking centuries before Napoleon's birth and his descendents kept interbreeding with local Corsicans from that point
Napoleon had certainly more Corsican admixture that Tuscan one (just like William the Bastard had more French admixture than Scandinavian one)

No such thing as "French blood", France is a constantly morphing geographic reality rather than a set ethnicity. If you're born within the borders of France, whether it's a Kingdom, a Republique, or an Empire, you're French.

Okay, it looks like you can't read. Normans were described as French by outsiders, such as the maker of the bayeux tapestry. Normans almost always refered to themselves as Normans and saw themselves as a distinct people. On top of that, they were pretty hostile to the French.

Ethnicity is more than language and haplotypes, it's a group identifying as one. It's why Belgians and Swiss are a thing for example. Normans had a separate history and identity, the partly Danish origin also played a role for their consciousness of being separate.

Only when among other French (they refered to themselves as French when among non-French) and entirely for political reason (they wanted autonomy from the French crown).

This is a recent development though. Brits didn't use to be this butthurt about France ironically until the mid 20th century or so. That's when they started to get into this delusion about Normans not being French. When you read older British literature they have no problem calling them French and talking about the French conquest and the French lords and everything.

Brits are more butthurt at France today than they were back when France was their arch nemesis, let that sink in.

>what's there to be jealous about? Appropiating foreign people as your own luminaries?
That is basically 99% of Englands history they had about 2 decent Anglo Kings whos accomplishment is kicking out foreign raiders from their homeland.

At least France had a French/Frankish Kings for about 80-90% of its existence and they routinely had great military victories.
