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.

You don't provide any "following" names, so we can't know whom you wanted your selection made from.

A notable nationalist opera composer was Bedrich Smetana from Bohemia, whose opera The Bartered Bride essentially set the mold for Bohemian/Czecho-Slovak opera.

Giuseppe Verdi was a nationalist in the first part of his career, partly because his last name became a rallying cry in pre-unified Italy. Revolutionaries shouted "Viva Verdi," which honored him but was also a coded way of shouting

Viva Vittorio Emmanuele, re d'Italia, or Long live Victor Emmanuel, king of Italy.

In Russia, Mikhail Glinka was considered a nationalist, because his opera A Life For the Tsar began the tradition of his country's opera.

Why did the Nationalists oppose the Articles of Confederation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The nationalists opposed the Articles of Confederation because it gave too much power to ordinary people who were usually less educated. History had shown that people weren't naturally wise enough to handle so much power over their own affairs. Attempts to create a republic government in places in Europe had ended in chaos. This also happened to the Roman republic over 1800 years ago. They couldn't let the US fall into political chaos because it was a model for the rest of the world. The nationalists were also more concerned with keeping order than increasing freedom. There was a large debt after the American Revolution, so states put heavy taxes on goods traveling to other states, which therefore angered people and caused economic chaos. Critics of the Articles thought these problems occurred because Americans had too much power in their state legislatures.

Another main reason the Nationalists were against the Articles of Confederation was that they thought it produced a weak National government, and they supported a strong one. People were getting out of hand under the Articles (ex. Shay's Rebellion) and they liked to challenged authority. Nationalists wanted to keep control of this behavior. A weak government wouldn't get respect from the world as well.

How was nationalism important in the defeat of Napoleon's Empire?

Asked by Wiki User

The spirit of French nationalism had made possible the mass armies of the revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. However, Napoleon's spread of the principles of the French Revolution beyond France indirectly brought a spread of nationalism as well. The French aroused nationalism in two ways. First, they were hated as oppressors. This hatred stirred the patriotism of others in oppostition to the French. Second, the French showed the people of Europe what nationalism was and what a nation in arms could do.

How did nationalism lead to the breakup of the Russian empire?

Asked by Wiki User

Although the Ottoman Empire is now generally thought of as being a Turkish Empire, the Ottomans identified themselves by language and religion more than by an ethnic identity. Although the Turks made up the largest portion of the population and had been the ones to establish the Empire, they had recognized early on that they would have to assimilate the subject populations and make use of their talents. Many of the most able managers and administrators of the empire were Greek, the merchants and traders were often Armenian, and for centuries the soldiers in its armies and the governors of whole provinces were raised from Christian children captured in the Balkans and raised in the Sultan's palace. The famous Grand Vizier Mehmet Sokollu Pasha was the son of Bosnian parents, and the Sultans themselves were frequently from non-Turkish mothers. All these people thought of themselves as "Ottomans" and most spoke Turkish.

In the 19th century, waves of nationalism swept Europe, with people who had always been the vassals of larger nations or who were part of cobbled together territories began to wish for countries of their own. For example, the people of the many cities and small kingdoms of Italy began to think of themselves as a single people "Italy" and began to think of "Italy" as a country instead of just a geographical expression. This led to the unification of some countries, like Italy or Germany, but caused great conflicts in others, such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires.

The Ottomans had never tried to forcibly convert any population to Islam or force any group to give up their language, so in some areas like Arabia and the Balkans there were large groups of subject people who had a different language and faith than their rulers. In some cases, like Serbia and Greece, the people had memories of independent kingdoms from before the Empire. As nationalist passion began to grow, it was encouraged by outside powers like Russia, Germany, and England who sought to unbalance the Empire.

The effects were disastrous for the Ottomans; in the Balkans countries declared and fought for independence and then fought each other over the borders. In trying to hold onto Macedonia the Ottoman inadvertently created the first modern terrorists, the IMRO, and were drawn into bloody and inconclusive battles and became demonized in the Western Press as "bloodthirsty Turks".

The worst situation, however, was in areas of the Ottoman heartland where Turks and other nations lived mixed together. A town which had once been 100% Ottoman and peaceful suddenly found itself a warring camp full of Armenian, Kurdish, Greek, and Arabic people. As it found itself pulled into WWI, the Ottomans were faced with movements among the Arabs, Kurds, and Armenians demanding independence or greater freedom and representation within the Empire.

During this period, the Ottomans committed a genocide against the Armenian people which tarnished the name of the Empire in the eyes of the world and history and still haunts the modern Turkish republic. Although the subject is still extremely controversial in Turkey and the use of the word "genocide" is forbidden by law, the facts are not in dispute by most scholars. The Armenians, an ancient Christian people who had lived in Asia Minor and the Caucasus for millenia, and who were found everywhere in the Empire (often as loyal servants of the Empire), were expelled from their homeland or murdered. Some modern Turkish scholars claim that the Armenian genocide was not intended, but that the Ottoman authorities had simply meant to resettle a population they believed was attempting to help the enemy during war and that the massive deaths were a result of either poor planning, unreliable soldiers, or Armenian resistance. Whether or not this is true, a crime of epic proportions took place.

A less atrocious but equally tragic population transfer took place after the war, when Greece and Turkey struck a devil's bargain to make their countries mono-ethnic, mono-linguistic modern nations. Millions of people were displaced as Turks from Greece (who might never have seen Turkey or spoken a word of Turkish) and Greeks from Turkey (whose ancestors had lived on the Anatolian Coast since pre-History) were forced to change places, leaving homes they had had for generations to go live among strangers. By this time the Ottoman Empire was dead, and the whittled down new country of Turkey, under the democratic and secular leader Ataturk, had just driven out a Greek army intent on annexing the entire extent of the old Byzantine Empire.

The new Turkey was modeled on the successful Western democracies, which meant that it was a secular republic with one language and one nationality. In the end, the Turks themselves had given in to nationalism, although Ataturk famously said that "anyone who speaks Turkish and calls himself a Turk is a Turk". This was much more tolerant than the national creeds in many countries, but even today Turkey has not managed to deal with the vexed issue of the people in its borders who do not want to speak Turkish or call themselves Turks. In the case of the Kurds, the largest ethnic group on earth without its own country, the problem of nationalism is still unsolved.

What is the Zionist movement and what was its main goal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Who were the Zionists: The Zionist leadership was ardently secularist with one or two critical exceptions. These leaders included Theodor Herzl (who developed the concept of Modern Jewish Nationalism or Zionism), Eliezer ben Yehuda (who developed the Modern Hebrew Language), Ze'ev Jabotinsky (Jewish Advocate to the British and Leader of the Palmach), Menachem Begin (Leader of the Irgun and future Israeli Prime Minister), and the Halutzim in general (the Jewish pioneers who arrived in the British Mandate of Palestine in the 1920s and 1930s). On the religious side, there was primarily Rabbi Avraham Kook (First Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Israel and founder of Religious Zionism) who was treading a new theological doctrine to back up Zionism with Jewish religious values.

What were the goals of the Zionists: Being a Zionist only means one thing: Believing that the Jews have a right to an independent State and that this State should be in the Land of Israel. Many people incorrectly believe that Zionism refers to the Anti-Semitic depictions of a worldwide Jewish Cabal or some other conspiracy theory. However, that is not what Zionism is.

What are the factors that gave birth to Philippine nationalism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Given the two periods, it can be evidently seen how much the Philippine society changed and how the Spanish regime invoked the sudden will of the Filipino for freedom. During the pre-colonial period, the Filipino didn't have a sense of nationalism for they don't have a common identity yet during that time. They primarily focus was their community and the people's welfare and they didn't show any sign of interest with other barangays. This proves that the Philippines didn't act as a nation despite seeing movement for every community. In contrast, the Spanish period drove the Filipinos to act as a nation. Being ill-treated and misguided, the Filipinos found the courage and strength from Rizal's works and revolted against the Spaniards and this turned out to be the Filipino nationalism that we know now today (Cortes et al., 2000).

There are different factors that led to the development of Filipino nationalism namely the deaths of GOMBURZA, Rizal's writings and his two novels, "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo", and world events that occurred during the Spanish regime. First is the death of GOMBURZA. The Filipinos were severely affected by the deaths of these three priests because many, especially those who witnessed the execution believed that they were innocent. It was described to be a judicial murder and this incident is something that the Filipinos could forget during that time.

Second is Rizal's writings.The Filipinos, before Rizal's time, were afraid to fight for their freedom because of different reasons, including the false teachings of Catholicism during that time. When Rizal's two novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, circulated among the masses, a sense of unity has begun to form and the Filipinos started to unite as one in fending off the Spanish oppression.

Third are the world events that occurred during the Spanish regime. These events namely the Seven Years' War, French Revolution, US Declaration of Independence, Latin American War of Independence, Age of Enlightenment introduced the concept of Liberalism to the Filipinos. During this time, the Filipino learned that the Spaniards were not that superior and that they can be defeated. These events caused the opening of the Suez Canal, the Philippines became opened to world trade, the death of Rizal, Chinese expulsion and the Jesuit eviction. Most of the perceptions of the Filipino changed during this point.
