From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Nationalism involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms, i.e. a nation. Often, it is the belief that an ethnic group has a right to statehood, or that citizenship in a state should be limited to one ethnic group, or that multinationality in a single state should necessarily comprise the right to express and exercise national identity even by minorities . It can also include the belief that the state is of primary importance, or the belief that one state is naturally superior to all other states. It is also used to describe a movement to establish or protect a homeland (usually an autonomous state) for an ethnic group. In some cases the identification of a national culture is combined with a negative view of other races or cultures. Conversely, nationalism might also be portrayed as collective identities towards imagined communities which are not naturally expressed in language, race or religion but rather socially constructed by the very individuals that belong to a given nation. Nationalism is sometimes reactionary, calling for a return to a national past, and sometimes for the expulsion of foreigners. Other forms of nationalism are revolutionary, calling for the establishment of an independent state as a homeland for an ethnic underclass. Nationalism emphasizes collective identity - a 'people' must be autonomous, united, and express a single national culture. However, some nationalists stress individualism as an important part of their own national identity. National flags, national anthems, and other symbols of national identity are often considered sacred, as if they were religious rather than political symbols. Deep emotions are aroused. Gellner and Breuilly, in Nations and Nationalism, contrast nationalism and patriotism. "If the nobler word 'patriotism' then replaced 'civic/Western nationalism', nationalism as a phenomenon had ceased to exist." From Wikipedia under the

I'll give you some places to start though. Let's take this back to the time of the Roman invasion of the British Isles. The British Isles were populated by Celts many years prior to the Roman invasion. (Yes, there WERE other people there BEFORE the Celts, PIcts in the Northern area of what is now Scotland, and another rumored bunch of people in Ireland...possibly Picts also, we just don't know). Even the great conquering Romans were unable to take Scotland and Ireland...so both places were able to grow, multiply, and advance their individual heritage much longer than the Celts of Brittany (England proper).

The rise of nationalism occurred along with the development of a political unit called the nation-state. A nation is a group of people who share a common culture, history, or language and have a feeling of national unity. A state is an area of land whose people have an independent government. A nation-state exists if a nation and a state have the same boundaries. Nation-states began to develop during the late Middle Ages. Travel and communication improved at that time. As a result, people became increasingly aware of the part of their country that lay outside their own community. Loyalty to local and religious leaders began to weaken, and allegiance to kings grew stronger. By the 1700's, England, France, Spain, and several other… [cont.] Answered by softballjmb - Sun Jan 6 22:31:31 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "nationalism" Quotes regarding nationalism. ContentsFor
