Nationalist groups

Nationalist groups are organizations that prioritize the interests, culture, and identity of a specific nation or ethnic group. They often promote pride in their heritage and seek to preserve or advance their way of life. While some nationalists advocate for independence or greater self-governance, others focus on protecting their community’s values. These groups can vary widely—from peaceful cultural organizations to more extreme factions that may promote exclusion or rejection of outsiders. Overall, they emerge from a desire to strengthen and maintain a group's distinctiveness within a broader society.
