FRENCH NATIONALISM

French nationalism became a powerful movement after the

French Revolution in 1789. Napoleon Bonaparte promoted
French nationalism based upon the ideals of the French
Revolution such as the idea of "liberty, equality, fraternity"
and justified French expansionism and French military
campaigns on the claim that France had the right to spread
the enlightened ideals of the French Revolution across
Europe, and also to expand France into its so-called "natural
borders." Napoleon's invasions of other nations had the
effect of spreading the concept of nationalism outside
France.
ITALIAN NATIONALISM

Italian nationalism asserts that the Italians are a nation with a single
identity and seeks to promote the cultural unity of Italy as a country,
in a definition of Italianness claiming descent from the Latins who
originally dwelt in Latium and came to dominate the Italian
peninsula and much of Europe. Italian nationalism has also
historically adhered to imperialist theories.[1] The romantic (or soft)
version of such views is known as Italian patriotism, while their
integral (or hard) version is known as Italian fascism. Italian
nationalism is often thought to trace its origins to the
Renaissance,[2] but only arose as a political force in the 1830s under
the leadership of Giuseppe Mazzini.[3] It served as a cause for
Risorgimento in the 1860s to 1870s. Italian nationalism became strong
again in World War I with Italian irredentist claims to territories
held by Austria-Hungary, and during the era of Italian Fascism.
GERMAN NATIONALISM

German nationalism is the nationalist idea that Germans are a

nation, promotes the unity of Germans and German-speakers
into a nation state, and emphasizes and takes pride in the
national identity of Germans. The earliest origins of German
nationalism began with the birth of romantic nationalism
during the Napoleonic Wars when Pan-Germanism started to
rise. Advocacy of a German nation-state began to become an
important political force in response to the invasion of German
territories by France under Napoleon.
NATIONALISM IN EUROPE

The idea of nationalism spread across other Europeans countries.

Nationalism came to be seen in a liberal light. Meaning, the middle
class came to hate the aristocracy and absolute monarchies and
wanted a popularly elected government in power. In the economic
sphere, they wanted a free market with no government
interference with heavy customs duties. Earlier, there was a
scattered group of states but now, they popularly wanted a
common economic zone.
NATIONALISM IN ASIA
In Asia, as elsewhere, nationalism has been used to mobilize support
for the creation of new nation-states or the reinvigoration of existing
ones. It has also been activated for such goals as national self-
determination, social and economic development, the defense of
territorial integrity or territorial expansion, and domination over
other nations. Like other nationalisms, Asian nationalisms have
deployed historical memories and myths, belief in a shared ethnicity,
links to a territorial homeland, and shared cultural characteristics
such as language, literature, religion, and customs to create a sense of
common identity, purpose, and responsibility Asian nationalisms do
have one important common feature: they developed largely in
response to Western invasion or intrusion. Throughout the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
INDIAN NATIONALISM

Indian nationalism developed as a concept during the Indian

independence movement fought against the colonial British
Raj. Indian nationalism is an instance of territorial
nationalism, inclusive of all its people, despite their diverse
ethnic and religious backgrounds. It continues to strongly
influence the politics of India and reflects an opposition to the
sectarian strands of Hindu nationalism and Muslim
nationalism
CHINESE NATIONALISM

Chinese nationalism is the form of nationalism

in China which asserts that the Chinese people

national unity of the Chinese.
JAPANESE NATIONALISM
Japanese nationalism is the nationalism that asserts that the
Japanese are a monolithic nation with a single immutable
culture, and promotes the cultural unity of the Japanese. It
encompasses a broad range of ideas and sentiments harbored
by the Japanese people over the last two centuries regarding
their native country, its cultural nature, political form and
historical destiny
RUSSIAN NATIONALISM

Russian nationalism, the Russian version of nationalism,

promotes the celebration, appreciation and love for (ethnic)
Russian culture and history, as well as Russian cultural
identity and unity. Russian nationalism first rose in the early
19th and became closely related to pan-Slavism, from its
origin during the Russian Empire to the Soviet era and beyond
