Austrian nationalism

Austrian nationalism is a political and cultural movement that emphasizes the unity and identity of the Austrian nation. Emerging in the 19th century, it sought to promote a shared language, culture, and history among the diverse ethnic groups within the Austrian Empire. Austrian nationalists often celebrate Austria's unique heritage, particularly its role in Central European history and its contributions to arts and sciences. In the modern context, Austrian nationalism can be tied to themes of national pride and cultural preservation, sometimes intersecting with debates on immigration and integration within the contemporary nation-state of Austria.
