nationalism movements

Nationalism movements are efforts by groups of people who share a common identity, culture, language, or history to gain political independence or greater autonomy within a larger state. These movements often arise in response to perceived oppression or the desire for self-determination. Nationalists advocate for the interests and rights of their group, aiming to establish or strengthen a nation-state that reflects their identity. Examples include the independence movements in countries like India and Ireland, where people sought to break free from colonial or imperial rule to form their own nations.
