~IMPERIALISM AND NATIONALISM~

By the late 1800's, nationalism, or a feeling if intense pride in one's homeland, had become a powerful idea in europe. The nationalists place primary emphasis on promoting their home lands culture, interests, and other stuffs above those other countires. The nationalism was one of the reason for the tensions amoung the europeans powers.

The right to self-determination is one of the basic ideas of nationalism. The idea was that people who share a national identity should have their own country and government. In the 1800s the region known as the Balkans led to a crisis in southeastern europe.
