define "oldest time of your countrys history"?

Oldest time the country as we know existed, earliest predecessor in roughly the same geographic location(and language predecessor?)?? or any other potential

Because if we go "country as we know" then in my case thats either 1949, or 1990 depending if the reunification constitutes when "germany" as we know it really started or if the founding of the federal republic(west germany) in 1949 suffices. otherwise 1871 would be potentialy the case(unification of germany into the german empire) HECK throw weimar into the mix and w ealso have 1919 as apossible startpoint

smoke detectors do something similiar(at least Photoelectric smoke alarms do) when they first detect smoke(by the lightbeam being interupted/scatterd and thus the current changing on the sensor) they send out a couple more light flashes in quick sucession(they usualy send a beam every so often(i think it was every second or 5 seconds? anyway, not constantly)to check if the disturbance was just a dust particle or actual smoke THEN it rings the alarm....

​

not hard to implement something similiar into this i imagine.
