Nationalism is the belief that one's greatest loyalty should not be to a king or an empire but a nation of people that shares a common culture and history.I am a naitionalisitic becouse i live in a country which is not ruled by another empire or another country. We all live whitin the same well defined borders.We have a history that defines our country.We have symbles that defines our nation.
Let me give you an example. The Austro- Hungarian Empair was a huge Empair in Europe. It was made up bunch of differrent people each with there on culture. Italy used to be part of Austro-Hungarian Emapir. But when other countries started to declare independence Italy was very influenced by them.When Italy wanted there independence they had a war of independence.They named there nation and break away from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Then they made a flag for their nation was not part of any other nation or empire. So this is how Italy used nationalism to gain independence.
