European nationalism

European nationalism is a political and cultural movement that emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing the interests and identity of a particular nation or ethnic group. It fosters a sense of belonging and pride among people who share common language, culture, and history. Nationalism can lead to movements for independence, unification, or the establishment of nation-states, often encouraging people to prioritize their nation’s interests. While it can promote national unity and self-determination, it has also contributed to conflicts and tensions, especially when various nationalist movements collide or marginalize minority groups within a society.
