China, Japan and so on have been nations for a long long time.
At the time when black people got enslaved and transported to the states they did not live in a nation. They were part of tribes and stuff.
The African nations we know today are all from after the 2WW and before it only the colonial rulers drawed boundaries on a map and gave it names.
