National Anthems of the World - JSON

National anthems are important musical works that express the history, culture, and spirit of a nation's people as symbols of the state. The Netherlands' 'Wilhelmus' is the world's oldest national anthem, created in the late 16th century. France's 'La Marseillaise' expresses revolutionary spirit, while the UK's 'God Save the Queen' represents loyalty to the monarchy. Japan's 'Kimigayo' is one of the world's oldest anthems, using a 9th-century poem as its lyrics. National anthems are deeply connected to historical events such as independence movements, wars, and revolutions, symbolizing each country's identity.
