Nationalism.

Nationalism is an ideology and a socio-political movement that is based on a higher level of consciousness and identification with the reality and history of a nation.With precedents in the Middle Ages, especially in absolute monarchies, modern nationalism emerged from the French Revolution, simultaneously with the heyday of the industrial bourgeoisie. Later, the fight against an invading army or the desire for independence, gave nationalism a new impetus.

In the 20th century, nationalism had two great moments: the emergence of nationalist ideas in collaboration with racist theories, both in Germany, Italy, Japan and the one that appeared in colonized countries after the Second World War. This is called totalitarian regimes.

In the imperialist nations, the great technological advances and the development of capitalism generated in their inhabitants a notorious national pride and a rivalry with the other powers, together with a great feeling of superiority towards the non-industrialized peoples, thereby justifying that they could dominate and impose them its economic and political conditions.
