List of national anthems





A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that is
formally recognized by a country's government as their state's official
national song.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, with the rise of the national state,
most countries have adopted a national anthem, which can exist beside other
commonly sung patriotic songs.
