Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes national identity and the interests of the nation-

state above all else. It is the belief that a nation should have its own government, culture, and
economic systems, and that the interests of the nation should be considered above those of other
countries. Nationalism can be positive, in the sense that it can promote a sense of unity and pride
among a nation's citizens, but it can also be negative, leading to xenophobia, racism, and conflict with
other nations.

Nationalism a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of national identity and the interests

nations, as it can create a sense of superiority over other countries or ethnic groups. Additionally,
nationalism can sometimes be used as a political tool to manipulate public opinion or to justify
discriminatory policies against minorities or other nations.

needed to be replaced with a more democratic government. The attack failed, and many of the
