Answer 1

Nationalism is a sense of identity with the nation.

Answer 4

It depends on where in the world (and in time) you are.

In Europe, nationalism was a movement for independence of nation-states from the Catholic church (and, until its demise, from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation).

In a similar vein, in many Latin American countries, nationalism was the movement for independence from Spain.

In the Soviet Union, nationalism was a label that was assigned to separatist movements working towards forming independent nations in place of Soviet republics (as in, for example, "Ukraininan nationalism").

In India, nationalism is a movement for independent and politically unified India (i.e., unlike the Soviets, who thought nationalism was a separatist ideology, the Indians think that nationalism is the opposite of separatism, which they also call "regionalism").

Answer 5

A remnant of 18th and 19th century Romanticism, totally irrelevant and counterproductive in a 21th century globalised world.

Answer 6

If you are a nationalist, you put your own country's cares and needs before any other countries.
