NationalismNationalism is the striving to create or sustain a nation based on any of several concepts of political legitimacy[?]. Nationalist ideologies trace their development from the Romantic ideal of cultural identity and the Liberal requirement that political legitimacy be derived from the people.Several theorists have argued that the necessary conditions for nationalism include the development of the printing press and capitalism.

Civic nationalism lies within the traditions of rationalism and liberalism. It is the theory behind constitutional democracies[?] such as the United States.
Ethnic nationalism is the form of nationalism in which the state derives political legitimacy from historical cultural or hereditary groupings (ethnicities). This was developed by Johann Gottfried von Herder, who introduced the concept of the Volk.
Romantic nationalism (also organic nationalism, identity nationalism) is the form of ethnic nationalism in which the state derives political legitimacy as a natural ("organic") consequence of race; in the spirit of Romanticism and opposed to Enlightenment rationalism. Romantic nationalism relies upon the existence of a historical ethnic culture which meets the Romantic Ideal; folklore developed as a Romantic nationalist concept. The Brothers Grimm were inspired by Herder's writings to create an idealized collection of tales which they labeled as ethnic German. See Populism and Nationalism.
Giuseppe Mazzini (Italy), Jules Michelet[?] (France), Johann Gottlieb Fichte (Germany).
Religious nationalism is the form of nationalism in which the state derives political legitimacy as a consequence of shared religion. Zionism is an example, though many, if not most, forms of ethnic nationalism are in some ways religious nationalism as well. For example, Irish nationalism is associated with Catholicism; Indian nationalism is associated with Hinduism. In general, religious nationalism is viewed as a form of ethnic nationalism.
Sometimes however religion is more of a marker of a group than the motivation for their nationalism. For example although most Irish nationalist leaders of the last 100 years are Catholic, in the 19th Century and especially in the 18th Century many nationalistic leaders were Protestant. Irish nationalists are not fighting for theological distinctions like transubstantiation, the status of the Virgin Mary, or the primacy of the Pope. Rather they are fighting for an ideology that identifies the geographical island of Ireland with a particular view of Irish culture, which for some nationalists does include Catholicism but has as a more dominant element other elements of culture.
Islam is fiercely opposed to any notion of Nationalism, Tribalism, Racism, or any other categorization of people not based on one's beliefs.
Some political theorists make the case that any discrimination of forms of nationalism is false. All forms of nationalism rely on the population being a nation; that is, that all the members of the population believe that they share some kind of common culture, and culture can't be wholly separated from ethnicity. Even the supposedly ethnically neutral "civic culture" of the United States, for example, relies on English as the one national language, has "God" on its coinage and in its Pledge of Allegiance, and designates official holidays, which promote cultural biases. See also the concept of Manifest Destiny, American nativism, the House Un-American Activities Committee.
The modern vernacular use of nationalism refers to the political (and military) exercise of ethnic and religious nationalism.
Fascism is usually marked by ethnic nationalism, the most extreme example being National Socialism in Nazi Germany.
In some cases there has been a reaction against nationalism. An example was the perception in pre-World War I European socialist movements that nationalism was being used to prevent workers uniting against capitalism. Another example is in present day Germany and Ireland where there are people who are not comfortable with nationalistic, patriotic, or even cultural symbols that have become associated with violent nationalism.
Benedict Anderson has stated, "only face-to-face contact can sustain community: nations are in some sense an illusion." [2] (http://www.socresonline.org.uk/2/1/8.html) (see also [3] (http://www.nationalismproject.org/what/anderson.htm)).
German ethnicity in practice during the 19th century was determined as speaking German and having a Germanic name, though with Nazism much more stringent conditions were applied.
Nationalist movements from Ireland to India promote the teaching, preservation, and usage of traditional languages, such as Celtic, Hebrew, and Hindi.
