Nationalism

There are several results from the colonization of the Islamic World by European Powers:

1) Breaking of Traditional Islamic Power Structure: Prior to colonization, Islamic States had a secular ruler (sultan or king) who had a religious ministry overseen by the chief imams which had endured from the Middle Ages. There was a very specific balance between the authority that the secular ruler could wield and how much the religious authorities could wield and in which political spheres. The colonizers saw no place for the Islamic clerics in their system of governance, especially since they were far more socially conservative than the colonizers. With the return of independence, there has been no modern balancing, resulting in hyper-secular states on the one hand and hyper-religious states on the other hand.

2) Modern Borders: The current borders in the Islamic World do not reflect ethnic or, necessarily, pre-colonial borders; they reflect the demarcations and borders set by the colonizers.

3) Colonial Languages: English and French have strong second-language status in a number of Islamic countries specifically because of the colonial past.

4) Infrastructure: A large percentage of hospitals, schools, highways, railroads, and other elements of modern infrastructure throughout the Islamic World were first built during the colonial period by the colonizers. Of course, many of these have since been improved, but the origins trace back to the colonial period.

Herzl explained quite well that the European concept of a nation-state was dependent on the idea that all of the people in any particular nation were of the same ethnic stock and heritage. Jews were branded by this system to be "the Other" and were regarded at best as possible equals and at worse as traitors, spies, thieves, and fifth columns. This negative view of Jews is the foundation of Anti-Semitism. When the Dreyfus Affair turned out marches in Paris that said "Death to the Jews" on account of a kangaroo court against a particular guiltless Jew, it became clear that the Jew could not be integrated into Europe. Because of this, Jews wished to create their own state, which is called Zionism.

No. A nationalist is someone who believes that based on the common ethnicity of a group that they should have a ethnic nation-state. This is an idea that only came into existence in the mid-1700s and early 1800s. Moses, assuming he lived, would have been a religious leader and a statesman, but not a nationalist. He would probably be considered a theocrat by today's standards.

Independence.

No. Aside from the fact that Jews in Israel are from all over the world (roughly 1/3 from Russia, 1/3 from the Arab World, and 1/3 from Western Europe and the USA, with sprinklings from elsewhere), there is no view in Israel of how a Jew should look. There are European Jews, Middle Eastern Jews, Indian Jews, African Jews, and Chinese Jews in Israel.

Of course, this fails to note how Arab Israeli citizens (ethnic Palestinians, Druze, Bedouins, and Arab Christians) receive equal treatment under Israeli Law and even have political parties which have participated in every Israeli Parliament, some of which are opposed to the Jewish State. Further, there is no attempt to alter demography by preventing non-Jews from marrying and reproducing. In fact, aside for Religious Jews, Arab Israelis have the highest birth rates in Israel. While there are demographic concerns in Israel, no Israeli politician or organization has ever contemplated trying to prevent Arabs from marrying or having children, because this is not what Israel is about.

Nationalists of the 1780't felt a constitution was essential to provide people of the nation the self-determination to continue with independence.

Regional nationalism involves exaltation of one's particular region, state, city, country (national) division. The definition of nationalism involves love of country "marked by a feeling of superiority over other countries."

Regional nationalism involves these same sentiments involving one's region. The U.S. Civil War, with the North vs. the South provides an example. Sports affiliations (professional or college) peculiar to one's hometown, state or region, above other regions, cities' or states'.

The Black Hand, a Serbian Nationalist Group who wanted to be unified with Bosnia.

Herzl, assigned to the Dreyfus trial in Paris by an Austrian newspaper, saw that anti-Antisemitism could not be eliminated in Europe. He sought another land for the Jewish People - Zion (Israel). He became a Zionist because he also realized that Israel, which has been the homeland of the Jewish people as long as Jewish people have existed, is the only realistic, rational choice of homeland for the Jewish people.

Homespun was important during the nationalist movement as it symbolized self-reliance and resistance against British economic policies, particularly the importation of British textiles. By promoting the use of locally made cloth, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi encouraged Indians to reject foreign goods and fostered a sense of national identity and unity. This movement not only supported local artisans but also served as a powerful statement against colonial rule, reinforcing the call for independence. Additionally, homespun became a tangible expression of the broader struggle for economic independence and self-determination.

Zionism only really spread in Egypt among a minority of the Jewish community. It spread by word of mouth, letters, and Zionist publications. It is likely that it would have penetrated further if no Anti-Zionist attitude prevailed in the Islamic community. (The Egyptian Jewish community was afraid of "provoking" the Islamic community.)

In reference to US wars, "nationalist" and "loyalist" generally refer to the American Revolutionary War, where the Nationalist (or Revolutionaries) were the side promoting independence from Great Britain, while the Loyalist side wanted to remain part of the British Empire.

The American Civil War was split into two sides: the Union (those wishing the country to remain whole) and the Confederate (those wishing to split the country into two).

There is no perfect nation state because humans are imperfect.

Staes or nations are created by people and no one is perfect. Man is greedy, envious of others, wants power, seeks glory, and is controlling. Since the first creation of government there have been men who killed others, enslaved whole populations, and sought to take what others have. There will NEVER be a perfect nation state as long as man hasn't controlled his most basic nature.

National Income is essentially what a country produces in a given year. It takes into account the value of all the goods and services in an economy. The term is interchangeable with GDP or GNP (2 slightly different concepts)

---A.3. The Road to National Unification

Nationalism is important to maintain a national identity in an increasingly global community. However, when carried to extremes it can lead to protectionist policies and fascism in extreme cases as demonstrated by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini up to and during WWII.

It is unclear what is meant by the "Zionist Campaign".

NovaNET answer; is to unify all people of the slavic ancestry Pan-Slavism was a movement in the mid 19th century aimed at unity of all the Slavic people. The main focus was in the Balkans where Southern Slavs had been ruled over by the two great empires, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. It was also used as political tool by the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. The whole goal of Pan Slaviam was to unify the Slavs. Pan-Slavism, theory and movement intended to promote the political or cultural unity of all Slavs. Advocated by various individuals from the 17th cent., it developed as an intellectual and cultural movement in the 19th cent. It was stimulated by the rise of romanticism and nationalism, and it grew with the awakening of the Slavs within the Austrian and Ottoman empires. Slavic historians, philologists, and anthropologists, influenced by Johann Gottfried von Herder, helped spread a national consciousness among the Slavs, and some dreamed of a unified Slavic culture to replace an allegedly declining Latin-German culture. The first Pan-Slav Congress, held at Prague in 1848 and presided over by Franti�ek Palack�, was confined to the Slavs under Austrian rule and was anti-Russian. The humiliating defeat suffered by Russia in the Crimean War (1853�56) helped transform a vague, romantic Russian Slavophilism into a militant and nationalistic Russian Pan-Slavism. Prominent among the Russian Pan-Slav publicists were Rotislav Andreyevich Fadeyev and Nikolai Yakovlevich Danilevsky. Fadeyev claimed that it was Russia's mission to liberate the Slavs from Austrian and Ottoman domination by war and to form a Russian-dominated Slavic federation. Danilevsky predicted a long conflict between Russia and the rest of Europe, to be followed by a federation of states including the Greeks, Magyars, and Romanians as well as the Slavs. In the reign of Czar Alexander II, the foreign minister, Aleksandr Gorchakov, opposed Pan-Slav aspirations, although many officials were Pan-Slavist. Pressures from the Pan-Slavs probably helped provoke the Russo-Turkish War of 1877�78 but afterward declined. In the decade preceding World War I, Pan-Slav agitation again increased and played a role in the growing conflict between Russia and Austria in the Balkan peninsula, where the Serbs opposed Austria. In 1908, Russia was forced to allow Austrian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in 1914 Russia supported Serbia in the crisis that began World War I. After the Bolsheviks triumphed in the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Soviet government renounced Pan-Slavism. In World War II, however, Pan-Slavist slogans were revived to facilitate Slavic and Communist dominance of Eastern European countries. Both in the 19th and 20th cent. Pan-Slav aspirations were limited by the conflicting political and economic hopes of the various groups of Slavs
