European ethnic groups without nations often felt marginalized and oppressed, longing for recognition and autonomy. Many sought to preserve their cultural identity amidst dominant national narratives, leading to a sense of frustration and displacement. This yearning for self-determination fueled nationalist movements and, in some cases, resulted in conflict as these groups fought for their rights and representation within existing nation-states. Overall, their situation was characterized by a desire for dignity, acknowledgment, and the ability to shape their own destinies.
