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.

What is an example of Nationalism?

What is the difference between a nationalist and a patriot?
I take it that you were talking about patriotism and nationalism; the words are similar, describing love of one's country. However, patriotism simply means love of one's country; someone who is patriotic is a patriot and this is the context in which the word is most often used. On the other hand nationalism has other meanings; it is often used to describe social movements which idealise the 'nation-state'. In established nation-states such as the UK and PRC nationalism is also used to describe love of one's country - at the expense of other nations, which are perceived as inferior in comparison to one's own. Politically, patriotism can be expressed by all, but nationalism is expressed by right-wing elements. All political parties can be patriotic, but some are nationalists because they pursue a more aggressive and self-promoting foreign policy.
Does religion inforce nationalism?
Answer 1
Not explicitly.
Popular religions (e.g., Evangelism, Judaism, Islam) promote communal support and unity among small groups of people. This may appear to promote the general understanding of 'nationalism', but if we research what it means to be a 'nationalist', we find that this ideology is not as influenced by the intrinsic values proposed by religion as it is the result of communities uniting to share and protect domestic resources.
Swaths of territory in the Middle East are occupied by both Muslims and Christians, in some parts equally shared. Lebanon, which has seen a sharp rise in converts to Christianity, maintains a number of Islamic values, but Lebanese society does not view one faith as more nationalist than another.
Answer 2
It depends entirely on which Nationalism you speak of and which sect of which religion.
Nationalism is itself an inherently areligious ideology. It does not speak to the concept of religion, neither for nor against. What nationalism does speak to is a cultural identity and the ability of a cultural group to defend its societal organization and values. However, there are a number of societies and cultural groups which define their in-groups and out-groups from current or historic religious adherence. The most common examples where this is the case is in countries that have historically been under Islamic Rule, usually because Muslim Rulers discriminated against their citizens based on class. This is in contrast to Europe, where nationalism tends to divide along linguistic lines, since European rulers historically discriminated against citizens based on languages, and Africa, where nationalism tends to divide along tribal lines, since the European colonizers would play the tribes against one another and their pre-European historic hatreds. (In the Americas, nationalism has been subborned by patriotism since most countries in the Americas define themselves as melting pots without a primary ethnicity.)
Where religion does play a role in nationalism, such as in Greece, Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, and in Lebanon (on both sides), a large number of nationalists have taken on a religious fervor along with their nationalism. This is most clearly visible in the Greek Wars of Independence, where the Greek Flag was a blue cross, the soldiers would come to churches for the Orthodox priestly blessing, how the propaganda painted these wars as a holy crusade, etc. In these ways, the Greek Orthodox faith served to support and unify the Greek Nationalist movement. Interestingly enough, the Bulgarians, who used to also be part of the Greek Orthodox Church, found it necessary to schism from the Greek Orthodox Church specifically because of the strong links between the Church and Greek Nationalism (which was diametrically opposed to Bulgarian nationalism).
In places where religion does not play a role, such as in Germany, religion actually promotes sectarianism and division in nationalist ranks. It took decades to unite the Lutheran north with the Catholic south in spite of their mutual "German-ness".
How did Andrew Jackson approach the conflict of nationalism and sectionalism?
Andrew Jackson navigated the conflict between nationalism and sectionalism by promoting a strong centralized federal government while also accommodating regional interests. He championed policies that fostered national unity, such as the Indian Removal Act, which aimed to expand U.S. territory, but also faced significant opposition from Southern states, particularly over issues like tariffs. Jackson's presidency highlighted the tensions between national authority and states' rights, leading him to sometimes prioritize national interests over regional concerns. His approach ultimately reinforced both the spirit of nationalism and the growing sectional divisions that would later contribute to the Civil War.
How did liberalism and nationalism contribute to unrest?

How is nationalism a disruptive force in Europe?
It unified the nations of Italy and Germany, but split apart the multi-national empires, such as the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian empire.
An example would be WW2 when Hitler convinced all of Germany that they were superior then everyone else and discriminated other ethnic groups. I would say WW2 was disruptive in Europe.

How did nationalism led to conflict?
The sudden rise of nationalistic fervor in Europe around the 18th century sparked a wave of imperialism across the globe.
At the time, it was common for European citizens to have immense pride in their countries, especially after a victory in war. Since the 18th and 19th century had a multitude of global conflicts between European superpowers, nations more often than not had the opportunity to experience the surge of nationalism at least once.
Nationalism involves individuals identifying with, or becoming attached to, one's nation. Shortly before this time, Europe was plunged into political turmoil where monarchs married rulers of other countries, and their children married distant cousins of other monarchs. This resulted in widespread inbreeding of nobility and led to conflicts over land and throne rights. For their subjects, however, this resulted in it being difficult to identify their "foreign" monarch.
During this political and familial storm, it was not uncommon for the ruler of a nation to be viewed by his or her subjects as a foreigner. For example, King George I was the ruler of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but was in fact born and raised in northern Germany, and didn't even speak English when he first arrived to ascend to the throne. Nevertheless, as the result of generations of inbreeding, George was in fact the rightful heir to the throne.
This improved, however, in later centuries as rulers generally stayed in their respective kingdoms, and their subjects began identifying more and more with them. It was typical after the victory of war for citizens to feel as if their nation was more or less unstoppable. This sense of nationalsim surged to new heights once the New World was discovered, and colonies soon began being established.
As wealth, power, and prestige started rolling in from colonial claims in the New World, imperialism was born.

What was Daniel Webster's veiw on nationalism?
Daniel Webster was a member of the Federalist Party and after the 1816 of the Whig Party.
In contrast to the Democratic Party , he saw the United States as a nation with:
- a strong central power;
- a National Bank that would guarantee to the businessmen and traders a stable currency and large credits;
- the autonomy of the States restricted within reasonable limits;
- a tariffs' policy that would protect the Union's manufacturers.
In addition to that he was opposed to the expansionist policy pursued by the Democratic Party, that favored the agricultural masses, as the bearer of international and internal conflicts and in favor of public works, financed by the incomes of the protective tariffs.
In Webster's opinion the Union was a large federal republic which had to respect the States' local autonomy, but first of all had to govern also imposing, even by force, the decision taken by the majority of the Congress. In an address given from the Senatorial room in 1832, in opposition to the ideas expressed by John Calhoun in favor of South Carolina, that threatened to secede because of a sudden increase of tariffs decided by the Federal government, he said among other things:
"I'm for the Constitution as it is and the Union as it is....it is the constitution of the People, the People's government made for the People, by the People and accountable in front of the People...Liberty and Union, now and always, linked and inseparables truth is...that for certain purposes the People of the United States is one people. It is one in making war and one in making peace, one in business and one in setting fees or taxes..."
In a nutshell, his vision of a centralized and authoritarian Union, reflected that of the capitalist classes of the North.
Why did the nationalism in France become a byproduct of the french revolution?
It was the collision between nationalism and enlightenment principles. Nationalism allowed for the desire to unify the "nation" under enlightenment principles. It defined to whom the right of governance ought to expand. Furthermore it fueled those who sought to overthrow monarchical control, and created a social order. Study Garibaldi (Italy) and Hugo (France). Study closely the summer of 1848.
