Nation, nationalism and nationalism
Nowadays, 'state' and 'nation' are used interchangeably. They are not differentiated. In hindsight, the state is a legal term and the nation is a political term. One is objective while the other is subjective. Not every state is a nation!
When people in a group have a sense of unity because of their common religion, language, ethnicity, historical traditions or any other factor; We begin to feel different from others; And it seems that we should have a separate independent state; It can be said that nationalism is created in them then. If they establish a separate state, it would be appropriate to call it a nation.
State + Identity / Unity = Nation
Unless the group becomes a separate independent state, it can be called a nation. Many such nations can be in one state. Until 1991, the Soviet Union had many such nations. Often such nations are content to have little autonomy in a large state. They do not have the urge to be free. Or they often feel proud of their own different language / religion while realising their commitment to being connected to others by another more influential thread. This situation is conducive to the formation of a federation there. In it, both nationalism and regional identity can flourish at the same time.
The seventeenth century saw the emergence of a new commercial class in Western Europe. He felt that there should be a separate market for his business for his country. They may have felt it was in their best interests to trade there, free from competitors from other countries. For this, he raised his one-sided force with the support of the domestic government. Helped to increase the power of the state. Patriotism, national pride was awakened. Patriotism was replaced by patriotism. Innovation flourished in the fields of literature, trade, industry, art, etc., in England, France, Holland, etc. Towards the end of the 18th century, nationalist sentiments erupted when Napoleon's French forces invaded Europe and established their territorial states in various places. The defeat of Napoleon in 1815 is considered to be the beginning of the national movement in Europe. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this movement gained momentum. The scattered small German and Italian-speaking states came together under the inspiration of nationalism and formed two states, Germany and Italy, respectively. Many nations, including the former Austrian, Turkish, and Russian empires, established their own independent states by the end of World War I. Many new nations emerged in Eastern Europe, such as Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Hungary, and so on. After World War II, the movement spread to Asia and Africa. By 1960, many new nations were born there. Colonialism came to an end.
