The Cynical Historian | Nationalism Began in the 19th Century (feat. Alliterative) @CynicalHistorian | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Nations are new. Words, just like everything, change over time. Let’s explore that etymology of the word nation to see where nationalism comes from. Along with me is Alliterative, so check out his video: youtu.be/Fgkg0LGUnOs

Wiki: Nationalism is an idea and movement that holds that the nation should be congruent with the state.[1][2] As a movement, nationalism tends to promote the interests of a particular nation (as in a group of people),[3] especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty (self-governance) over its homeland. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference (self-determination), that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity[4] and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power (popular sovereignty).[3][5]

It further aims to build and maintain a single national identity, based on shared social characteristics of culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics (or the government), religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history,[6][7] and to promote national unity or solidarity.[3] Political scientists describe such nations as “imagined communities” and nationalism as an “invented tradition” in which shared sentiment provides a form of collective identity and binds individuals together in political solidarity. A nation's foundational "story" may be built around a combination of ethnic attributes, values and principles, and may be closely connected to narratives of belonging.[8][9][10] Nationalism can preserve and foster a nation's traditional cultures, and cultural revivals have been associated with nationalist movements.[11] It also encourages pride in national achievements.[12][13][page needed] The moral value of nationalism, the relationship between nationalism and patriotism, and the compatibility of nationalism and cosmopolitanism are all subjects of philosophical debate.[8] Nationalism can be combined with diverse political goals and ideologies such as conservatism (national conservatism and right-wing populism) or socialism (left-wing nationalism).
