Germany, in the 19th century AD, was not a single country, but a massive collection of independent states which, over the course of the century, became increasingly closer as modern nationalism propelled the idea of a 'German nation'.

That sounds quite similar to how the European Nation wasn't a single country back in the 21st century.
