Mesopotamian nationalism

Mesopotamian nationalism refers to the sense of pride and identity rooted in the cultural, historical, and linguistic heritage of the ancient Mesopotamian region, which is part of modern-day Iraq and surrounding areas. It emerged as a way for people to reclaim and celebrate their unique civilization—home to inventions like writing and early cities—especially during periods of foreign rule or influence. This nationalism emphasizes the significance of Mesopotamian contributions to human history and seeks to foster cultural unity and awareness of the region's ancient legacy.
