nationalist movement
Country-first political push
A nationalist movement is an organized effort by people who share a common identity—typically based on ethnicity, language, culture, or territory—to achieve political self-determination or independence.
Such movements may seek to establish a new nation-state, unify a divided people, or resist foreign domination.
The nationalist movement gained momentum after decades of colonial rule.
Nationalist movements range from peaceful political campaigns to armed struggles, and they have reshaped borders throughout modern history.
