an ethnic group wanting to unite its people from multiple countries into a single nation.

Answer 1

Correct answers: a, b, d, f.

- a (minority seeking an independent country) — classic separatism.
- b (stateless ethnic group seeking a recognized nation-state) — stateless nation pursuing ethnic nationalism/separatism.
- d (uniting people across borders into a single nation) — irredentist/pan-ethnic nationalism (a form of ethnic nationalism).
- f (feeling marginalized and seeking self-rule) — political marginalization leading to demands for autonomy or separation.

Not correct:
- c (using violence to create chaos) describes violent tactics or terrorism, not the core goals of ethnic nationalism/separatism.
- e (aiming to overthrow the government and rule the entire country) is revolutionary or takeover politics, not separatism.
