Romantic Nationalism

Romantic Nationalism is a 19th-century movement where people feel a strong emotional connection to their nation’s culture, history, and traditions. It emphasizes pride in unique language, art, folklore, and historical achievements to unify and strengthen national identity. Often, it arose as a response to political domination or foreign influence, inspiring efforts to preserve or revive cultural heritage. This movement helped forge a sense of collective identity, loyalty, and sometimes independence, shaping modern notions of national pride and sovereignty.
