Nationalism
Nationalism is a political ideology that believes in loyalty to one's nation, usually based on ethnic connections, historical ties, or loyalty to shared institutions. Nationalism was the philosophy behind the creation of the Nation-State in the 1800s, resulting in the unification of Germany and Italy and the disintegration of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires along ethnic lines. Nationalism was always opposed by cosmopolitanism and in today's global economy, the dialogue between advocates of either tends to be tense.

Do Zionists control Freemasons?
No. The Freemasonic order is remarkably free from control by anyone, and issues of a political or religious nature are especially taboo. Accordingly Freemasonry cannot and does not tell its members either to support Zionism or oppose it. They are free to do either. No Masonic organization has a position on zionism one way or another.

What did nationalists in Germany want to do?
Unite the various German states Bringing together independent states.
Nationalism also played a significant role in Germany after World War One during the Weimar Republic and the years after it fell. Support for Hitler, fascism and the Brown Shirts among most citizens were not simply based on wanting to join the Nazi Party or because most citizens were fascists. The support was based on "nationalism". The German people believed that Germany had been discredited by the Treaty of Versailles. So as an example, the march of the German army into the Rhineland was supported from a nationalist view, not because of any tenets involved with fascism.

How did nationalism kill archduke Franz Ferdinand?
Nationalism allows the people of the country to govern and design their government structure. Monarchism has a royal family that rules a nation or many nations. The Monarch has the right to do whatever he or she feels to the people of his or her nation or nations. The people of Europe were fed up with the way they were treated by the aristocracy and the Monarchs of Austria/Hungary and Germany. They wanted their own self rule and government design. Some Serbians, who the Monarchs of Austria and Hungry treated like dirt (and some Bosnians I think), plotted together to kill the Archduke Ferdinand of Hungary. They wanted the monarchs gone and no longer able to rule and harm them. This his how nationalism killed Archduke Ferdinand. It was also the spark of the crazy war of World War 1.

Why was the zionist movement created?
Zionism (as a political movement) was founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897. It built upon a prior organization of several national organizations going under the collective name of Hovevei Tziyon, most of which were founded in the 1880s.
The term "Zionism" appears to have been coined by the publisher Nathan Birnbaum in 1891 to describe these Jewish-nationalism organizations, though it has been retroactively applied to any movement that promoted a Jewish homeland.
Zionism was one of many nationalistic movements that the latter half of the 19th century spawned. European intellectualism and political thought starting about 1850 began to coalesce several major threats of philosophical ideals from the Age of Revolution (which covered the time from the American Revolution through the French Revolution and Counter-Revolutionary periods, i.e. about 1770 to 1840). Combined with the spread of the Industrial Revolution throughout Europe, this later portion of the 19th Century was a great flowering of socio-political thought covering the proper relationships of the rights of man, the concept of nationhood, and the proper workings of government. Nationalism was one of the more potent ideas that solidified around this time, and it became widely popular.
In political science parlance, a "nation" is a group of people with a common culture which creates a bond of unity. A "state" is a political boundary describing an area under a single government's control. A central tenet of the nationalism theories of the 19th century was that the proper size of a "state" was the entire natural area where a specific "nation" resided. That is, all countries should be "nation-states", where the political boundaries separated different cultural groups.
Naturally, at the time (and even today), there are a large number of ethnic and cultural groups which are NOT the only one in a given political state. The nationalism movements were political movements started by many such ethnic/cultural groups, to agitate for a change in the political state boundaries (often, including creating several states from one or more existing ones).
Zionism as a political movement was born in this period of Nationalistic ferver, along with many other "dispossessed" ethnic nationalism movements. However, given the extremely long period of Jewish ethnic identity (over 4,000 years), and the relatively unique dispersed nature of the Jewish "nation" (peoples), it would be a mistake to claim that Zionism was created solely as a reaction to the nationalistic ideologies of that time; rather, there have been organizations advocating a Jewish state for hundreds of years. However, they never enjoyed large-scale support in the Jewish community; thus, it is proper to consider the start of the Zionist movement to be Herzl's organization in 1897.
What is the difference between nationalism and colonialism?

What is Zionism and how was it related to Anti-Semitism in Europe?
Zionism was (and is) the movement to establish and preserve a Jewish homeland. It's first and primary champion, Theodor 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. 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 the presence of clear Anti-Semitism. The Holocaust served as the strongest proof that the Jew and the European Nation-State were irreconcilable. As a result, the Jews would need a place where they could live in freedom and without fear of Anti-Semitism. Since Israel has come into existence it has accepted Jewish political refugees from over 50 nations and flown missions at its own expense to rescue Jews from at least 10 nations.
