Nationalism — definition
- A belief that a people who share language, culture, or history form a nation and should have political self‑determination and loyalty to that nation.
Connection to World War I (short)
- Nationalist movements destabilized multiethnic empires (Austro‑Hungarian, Ottoman), encouraged independence drives (especially Slavic nationalism in the Balkans), and helped motivate the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
- It also intensified rivalries, public support for war, and competition among great powers, making conflict more likely.
What nationalism is not
- Not simply patriotism (patriotism is a milder love of one’s country without necessarily seeking dominance or exclusion).
- Not always violent, xenophobic, or racist — there are civic/inclusive forms and anti‑colonial nationalist movements.
