Yes, France is older than England.
Here's a breakdown, based on the provided reference:
France became a country as we know it in 486 when she was united under the Frankish King Clovis. “England” as a kingdom — and should not to be confused with “the U.K.” — was founded in 927, but there had been several kingdoms within what we now call “England” for centuries prior.
| Country | Foundation Date | Details |
|---|---|---|
| France | 486 | United under the Frankish King Clovis. |
| England | 927 | Founded as a kingdom (not the same as the UK). Other kingdoms existed within its modern-day borders before this date. |
Therefore, France, unified in 486, predates the founding of the Kingdom of England in 927.
