Hey guys, I've been wondering, how is it that every nation has a national anthem? Was this always a thing? Did ancient nations have songs and music depicting their empires? Is this a modern idea? Did they evolve overtime? How were they chosen? Any interesting stories about them?
Share some knowledge!
