Ok, late comers like German and Italy. But still, their state-formation impacted e.g. Franch (1870 war w Germany). Likewise for colonies (see Africa).I do not agree. Major European powers -Spain, England, France, Russia (all except Germany and Italy) completed the period of feudal fragmentation in the 15-16 centuries.
