I'd argue that France has changed a lot more during the same time, at least regarding the regime changes (from 1788: monarchy, constitutional monarchy, republic (1st), dictatorship, empire (with Napoleon), monarchy, republic (2nd), empire (2nd Empire with Napoleon III), republic (3rd), fascist dictatorship (Vichy), republic (4th & 5th)).
