There were no nations at that time, this is a concept of Modern and Modern times, but if we talk about entire countries where Christianity became the dominant religion supported by the ruler, then this is the Middle Eastern kingdom of Osroen. There is a legend about the correspondence of the local king Abgar with Christ himself. In any case, Christianity spread in Osroen earlier than in Armenia — it is simply closer to Palestine.
However, neither the state of Osroen nor its ethnic group has survived to our time, and if we talk specifically about those living today, it will be just Armenians.
I won't speculate with words.
I want to change the question: Which nation created Christianity?
To begin with, any new religion originates within another, the mother religion, and at first is a sect within the mother religion.
But then the answer to the transformed question is obvious to anyone who can answer these questions:
where did Christianity originate?
inside what religion?
Who were the disciples of Christ?
Who was Christ?
– who were the apostles?
“who was Judas?”
from what people did Christianity borrow dogmatics?
What is the Bible, I don't mean the New Testament?
After all, what is the Pentateuch of Moses?
Who is Moses?
Should I continue?
To be honest, the answer is obvious – Jews.
Originally, Christianity was a slave sect within Judaism. And Christ was the Logos.
A sect of Jewish slaves who were taken by King Nebuchadnezzar, aka Nabucco, to Babylonia in 586 BC.
This is discussed in detail in the academic publication A. Ya. Lentzman “The Origin of Christianity”.

Many people know that the Armenians were the first to adopt Christianity as the state religion in 301. However, only the Armenians themselves know about the colossal role that the Armenians assign to Christianity in maintaining the integrity of the people and the formation of their country. That is why Easter is treated with special trepidation in Armenia and is considered almost a family holiday. In this article, you will learn exactly when and how Easter is celebrated in Armenia.
Christ's Resurrection is a central episode in Christianity. It symbolizes the transition from earthly life to heavenly life, from death to life. Christ's death and resurrection were the sacrifice that gave people a chance to receive God's mercy and forgiveness. The people who first converted to Christianity understand the significance of this day as well as all Christian civilizations.

At the beginning of the fourth century (the traditional date is 301), Great Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity as a state religion, which is associated with the names of St. Gregory the Illuminator and the Armenian King Tiridates III the Great.
The policy of persecuting Christians of the Emperor Diocletian forces the community of maiden asceticism to flee from Rome to Armenia. However, the holy virgins were martyred by the Armenian king Tiridates III (then still a pagan). But later these events contributed to the conversion of his kingdom to Christianity through the preaching of St. Gregory the Illuminator, who baptized Armenia in 301 and became the first bishop of the kingdom. Thus, Armenia became the first Christian state in history.

Which nation was the first to adopt Christianity?
Jews, of course. Both Christ and the apostles were Jews. Yes, and the church from the beginning of several years consisted exclusively of them. But in the midst of this, here and there, various people under heaven joined the faith – some Greeks, some Romans, Phoenicians, Cretans, Macedonians, and so on.. But as for which nation adopted Christianity as a state ideology-it's like Rome-in the time of Constantine. Before that, almost always persecuted Christianity acquired the status of a state paradigm.
