Are you forgetting how often European nations fell apart and had many civil wars and change of government forms? Don't you remember the Yugoslav Wars? Even the Kingdom of the Netherlands is younger than the United States. The USA has a continuous democracy since 1789

Hard to call it a continuous democracy when we just has a historically fresh coup attempt.
