Japan

Answer 1

Among the options provided, Japan is considered one of the earliest nation-states. While Canada, Germany, and the U.S. established their nation-states in the 19th century, Japan has a much longer history of centralized governance, often dating back to the Heian period (794-1185), and it was formally recognized as a nation-state during the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century. Therefore, Japan can be seen as one of the first nation-states in the context of history.
