AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 week agoBecause of the fact that immigrants from Naples, the city state, came to the US in the mid to late 1800s, it is entirely probable that American Pizza predates the country of Italy.

It does, the modern Italian Republic was created after WW2 from the Kingdom of Italy.

But the Kingdom of Italy was also the country of Italy?

So when the entire style of government and bureaucracy is dissolved you think the country continues?
I think you don’t know the difference between a country and the social construct that is known as a nation.

Yes, normally as long as there is legal continuity, countries retain their identity through changes of systems of government.
For example today’s Germany is generally considered to be the same country as the North German confederation founded in the 19th century.
Likewise the end of communism in Eastern Europe didn’t cause Bulgaria, Poland, or Hungary to cease existing, just change their form of government.
