The Wilhelmus is definitely the oldest de facto national anthem. It was written to honour of the man who initiated the establishment of the first nation state in the world and includes both text and music that encapsulate its creation. That's a fully fletched national anthem in my book. The Japanese anthem may have had the lyrics but its music is clearly western and not traditionally Japanese, making it the oldest national poem, I guess? But calling Japan a nation in the 8th century is a whole other can o' worms.

[@DarthNoox]

The first official national anthem is actually the French anthem, since UK's anthem has never been official. So UK's anthem was maybe the first to be "described" as the anthem of nation, not more. And yeah, it was completely ignored in this video.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fierce opponent of Stalinism. I think Stalinism did more to destroy the worker's movement then any other political tendency in the 20th century.

Technically the Spanish national anthem was the first one to be adopted officially, as before queen Victoria the anthem was "God save the King", so until Elizabeth's reign ends Spain's is older, but as soon as the anthem becomes "God save the King" Spain's is the second oldest. Queen Victoria's reign started in 1837, and the "Marcha Real" was adopted in 1770 officially and as the national anthem in 1834.

There's also the Danish national anthem that's pretty old tho not as old as God Save The Queen as it was written in 1819 and adopted in 1835. But in all honesty what would be more interesting of a topic is what's the oldest song defining a country that's still around today

[@Tony.H03]

Fun facts: God Save the Queen was originally written as a song for the recovery of one of the Louis of France (14? 12? Don't remember). Grand Dieu, sauvez le Roi! It quickly got exported and has been a patriotic songs of almost every northwestern European country, as well as the national anthems of the UK, the German empire (heil dir im Siegerkranz), Norway, the Austro-Hungarian empire, Hawaii, Greece, Iceland, Hannover, and imperial Russia. It still is the Royal anthem of the commonwealth countries (Canada, Australia, etc), and Norway. AND is still the actual current anthem of Liechtenstein (which makes it that when England or Wales play each other or Liechtenstein, the anthem is literally just played twice). But that's not even all! The Americans have a patriotic hymn on the same melody (My country 'tis of thee) that fought with Hail Columbia over the spot of the de facto national anthem before the Star Spangled Banner came around. The Germans are very good at ripping off anthems anyway, cus they have a patriotic song on the Wilhelmus melody as well. And they themselves got ripped off because when Austria Hungary wasn't ripping off the UK it was ripping of Germany's current anthem with lyrics hailing the Austrian Kaiser. And we're not done yet because luck would have it that the words of the former East German anthem fit rather nicely on the melody of the current (and thus West) German anthem, and some people call for a 'true unification of the anthems' by singing the East German lyrics to the West German melody (which to be fair makes the song 20 times more awesome and 6 times less old timy).

[@games.io-Banus]

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe

[@μάξιμος14142]

[@mikeor-]

God Save the King was originally written in the late sixteenth century by John Bull, an Elizabethan Composer. It was used to honor Elizabeth I, but it had no lyrics. In 1685, King Louis XIV was forced to undergo a surgery. His royal composer, Jean-Baptiste Lully, tried to set a new tune for Domine, Salvum Fac Regem, but the Latin did not fit John Bull's music. When Lully translated the Latin hymn into French, it came out as “Grand Dieu Sauve le Roi.” After making several alterations of his own, Lully first performed the music in 1686. Louis XIV approved of the music, and it remained the royal anthem of France until 1792. In 1745, this music traveled to Britain, where Handel adapted it to become “God Save the King.” After Britain adopted it, it traveled throughout Europe and was used by many European States, as well as the United States and Thailand. However, it fell out of favor during the nineteenth century. Today, only Britain and Liechtenstein use it as their national anthems, and Norway uses it as their royal anthem. Not many people know that this song came from France, a country we associate with Revolutions, given that it had three in the span of sixty years.

3:03 Heil dir im Siegerkranz ! Kaiserhymne (Heil dir im Siegerkranz), Hail to Thee in Victor's Crown (german emperor hymn) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXfamIiMrtueebc "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" (German for "Hail to Thee in the Victor's Crown", literally: "Hail to You in a Victor's Wreath") was the official national anthem of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918.[1] Before the foundation of the Empire, it had been the royal anthem of Prussia since 1795 and remained it after 1871.[2] The melody of the hymn derived from the British anthem "God Save the King". For these reasons, the song failed to become popular within all of Germany. Not only did it fail to win the support of most German nationalists, it was never recognized by the southern German states, such as Bavaria or Württemberg.[3] After World War I, the German Empire came to an end and "Das Lied der Deutschen" became the national anthem of the Weimar Republic.[4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_dir_im_Siegerkranz
