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.

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.

How many people insist that America is the best country in the world? That God is on our side and not THEIR side?
Whether or not those are true is besides the point, because Nationalism is technically "my country, right or wrong" whereas patriotism is "an optimistic civic creed that demonstrates respect for America's institutions, individual freedoms, and constitutional law"
I like this quote:
"there is nothing patriotic about hating your country, or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your back on America, or ignoring your own responsibilities. If you want to preserve your own freedom, you must stand up for the freedom of others with whom you disagree. But you also must stand up for the rule of law. You cannot have one without the other."

They only agreed to 2/3 terms, Serbia goes to find help, Russia helps hen Triple Entente helps serbia. Then Triple Entente and Triple Alliance were at each other, and this is how WW1 started.

Romanticism influence on nationalism in 19th century?
Both romanticism and nationalism are movements that focus on positive overstatements of culture, politics, and values. They tend to paint with large brushes about emotional histories and developments. Specifically, romanticism was an oversimplification and love of European culture, traditions, and identity. It created the up-swell in pride for national identity that gave nationalism a strong footing.

What was a goal of irish nationalists?
In the year 1155 the Catholic church issued a Papal letter declaring that Ireland was a possession of England. That plus other events resulted in English monarchs having control over Ireland. This control was not matched by any responsibilities for the well being of Ireland.
Over the centuries this proved disastrous for Ireland.
The main aim of Irish Nationalists was to recover their own country from the British.
Their aim was only partially achieved because there were just too many people in the north of Ireland who did not want to change.
To avoid a long and protracted civil war 6 counties remained as a province of Britain (i.e. Northern Ireland) and the main bulk of the geographical area became the Republic of Ireland.
The change took place during the first half of the 20th Century and remains the same today

Why did nationalist movements break out in the hapsburg empire?
Multi-ethnic states have been successful in many cases (particularly in the Americas), but have also failed spectacularly in some cases. The Austria-Hungarian Empire's collapse after the First World War and Yugoslavia's violent breakup in the 1990s are good examples of what could go wrong with multi-ethnic states that do not manage their internal differences well. The Ottoman Empire, which fell apart due to ethnic conflict, but was a major power for centuries, is an example of a state which was able to manage internal division well for a time, before ultimately being consumed by nationalism.
How did nationalism contribute to the World War 1?
All sides made it seem as if you were not a true proud citizen if you were not some how supporting the war effort. Often Propaganda would include quotes that called out draft dodgers or depict scenes of young soldiers in heroic battles making others want to join them
What was the nationalists explanation Of Bloody Sunday?
It depends which Bloody Sunday you're talking about. I don't know much about the one in the North of Ireland in 1972, but I do know what happened in Dublin on 21 November 1920. Basically, it is know acknowledged that Michael Collins had a hit squad, informally known as the 'Twelve Apostles' and on the morning of the 21 November they took out 14 members of a British intelligence squad known as the 'Cairo Gang'. In reprisal, members of the British 'Black 'n' Tan' forces broke into Croke Park later that day where a match was taking place and opened fire into the crowd, killing 12 spectators and one player. It is widely acknowledged as one of the worst atrocities of the War of Independence, along with the burning of Cork city. [Yavemil] ----
The other "Bloody Sunday" took place on the 30th of January, 1972 in Derry. A civil rights march was taking place in Derry on that afternoon. The British Army tried to break it up and ended up shooting dead 13 unarmed civilians. On the day, they initially claimed that they had fired only 3 shots! Two enquiries into the events have happened, one shortly afterwards, known as the Widgery Inquiry, and one in recent years. The Widgery Report concluded that:
* shots had been fired at the soldiers before they started the firing that led to the casualties; * for the most part, the soldiers acted as they did because they thought their standing orders justified it; * although there was no proof that any of the deceased had been shot while handling a firearm or bomb, there was a strong suspicion that some had been firing weapons or handling bombs in the course of the afternoon.
Relatives and friends of the dead have always rejected these conclusions. No one was ever charged with the killings.
They didn't really have to explain anything, they didn't do anything.
What were some results of the colonization of the Islamic world by European powers?
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.
How did anti-Semitism help give rise to Zionism in the late 1800s?
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.
What is considered a safe haven for the Chinese Nationalists?
When the Chinese Communists defeated the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang/Guomindang) in Mainland China, the Nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan (also known as Formosa) and established rule over the island. To this day, one of the dominant political parties in Taiwan is the Kuomintang (which goes under the moniker of "the Blue Party").
The irony is that because Kuomintang has unity with mainland China as an aspirational goal (as opposed to its political rivals which seek Taiwanese independence), the Communists in Mainland China prefer to negotiate with Kuomintang leaders in Taiwan than any other major Taiwanese political party.
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.
