This has happened in many situations throughout the world. The Philippines, for example, is a series of 7,000 islands that were occupied by hundreds of different tribes. They had no affiliation or common interest. It was only when Spain "discovered" the islands and claimed them for their own did they become The Philippines Islands. It wasn't until the United States granted them independence that they became a sovereign country.

Is the world supposed to return to what it was before countries existed?
