Meaning for the individual comes from the nation, its culture and history. It provides a cause worthy of self sacrifice. A mission that individuals can dedicate themselves to the advancement of the nation.

nationalism is pride in your country and you do something to honor it yourself, and feudalism is where the government is forcing you to do something.

The only real similarity is that all three were ethnic nationalisms that focused on a secular government. They catered to different populations in different areas of the world and had many aspects relating specifically to those populations.
The Balkans were referred to as the "Powder Keg" due to the region's complex mix of ethnicities, nationalisms, and political tensions, which made it highly volatile and susceptible to conflict. The decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of nationalist movements led to a series of crises and wars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This instability culminated in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, which triggered World War I, illustrating how a small spark could ignite widespread conflict in the region.
Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain, in 1881, during a period marked by economic struggles and social change. The late 19th century in Spain was characterized by political instability, with the loss of colonies and the rise of regional nationalisms. Málaga, a coastal city, was traditionally tied to agriculture and fishing, but also experienced industrial growth. This backdrop of cultural richness, alongside social challenges, influenced Picasso’s artistic development and worldview.
Nationalism and alliances are linked as nationalism often fuels the desire for countries to assert their identity and interests, leading them to form alliances with like-minded nations. These alliances can be driven by shared national interests, cultural ties, or mutual defense agreements, reinforcing national unity. Conversely, competing nationalisms can also create tensions, prompting countries to seek alliances for protection against perceived threats. Thus, nationalism can both inspire cooperation and exacerbate conflicts among nations.

The claim that Europe helped Jews in capturing Palestine is a simplification of a complex historical context. European powers, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were influenced by various factors including rising nationalism, anti-Semitism, and the Zionist movement, which sought a homeland for Jews in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration of 1917, issued by Britain, expressed support for a Jewish homeland, reflecting geopolitical interests in the region. However, the situation is marked by competing nationalisms and has led to ongoing conflict rather than a straightforward narrative of help.
Nationalism fueled the split between Turks and Arabs in the Ottoman Empire as both groups sought self-determination and cultural identity. While Turkish nationalism promoted the dominance of the Turkish language and culture, Arab nationalism emerged in response, advocating for Arab identity and independence. The decline of the empire intensified these sentiments, leading to tensions and ultimately contributing to the desire for separate national identities, which culminated in the eventual division following World War I. This clash of nationalisms highlighted the differing aspirations of the Ottoman subjects, undermining the unity of the empire.
