What is older Mexico or Italy?

Answer 1

The Italian flag was adopted on January 1, 1948. The Mexican flag was adopted on September 16, 1968. The first uses on the red, white and green colors being used in modern day Italy was in 1797 and in Mexico was 1821. So therefore the older flag is the Italian.

Answer 2

In general terms, Mexico is older than Italy, at least when modern definitions of "civilizations" and "nation" are considered:

• Mexico has been inhabited by people since the last Ice Age (25,000 BC), while Italy was settled by modern humans since 40,000 years ago.
• Civilizations began to appear in present-day Mexico since at least 3000 BC, while the first civilized people such as Umbrians and Latins began to settle Italy around 900 BC.
• Modern Italy can be considered as such since it was unified as a single nation in 1870; modern Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821.
