Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the interests, culture, and identity of a particular nation or group of people. It often involves a strong sense of loyalty and pride towards one's nation, as well as a desire for self-determination and independence. Nationalism can manifest in various forms, such as patriotism, national unity, and the promotion of national symbols and traditions. It can also lead to feelings of superiority over other nations and can sometimes result in conflict or aggression towards other groups.
