Nationalism (Political Ideology)

Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes loyalty, pride, and devotion to one's nation and its interests. It promotes the idea that a nation’s culture, history, and values are central to its identity and often advocates for self-governance or sovereignty. Nationalists prioritize the well-being of their nation above others and may seek to strengthen national unity, independence, or cultural heritage. While it can foster pride and cohesion, extreme nationalism can also lead to exclusion or conflict with other nations or groups.
