Nationalist sentiment

Nationalist sentiment refers to a strong sense of pride and loyalty toward one's country, often emphasizing its interests, culture, and identity above others. It can foster unity and patriotism, but when taken to extremes, it may lead to exclusion, hostility toward outsiders, or a belief in national superiority. Essentially, it reflects a person's or group's emotional connection to their nation, influencing their views and actions related to national policies, values, and international relations.
