Changes

National flags, national anthems, and other [[symbols]] of national [[identity]] are often considered [[sacred]], as if they were [[religious]] rather than [[political]] [[symbols]]. Deep [[emotions]] are aroused. Gellner and Breuilly, in ''Nations and Nationalism'', [[contrast]] nationalism and patriotism. "If the nobler [[word]] 'patriotism' then replaced 'civic/Western nationalism', nationalism as a [[phenomenon]] had ceased to exist."

Before the [[development]] of nationalism, people were generally [[loyal]] to a city or to a particular [[leader]] rather than to their nation. Encyclopedia Britannica identifies the movement's [[genesis]] with the late-18th century [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution American Revolution] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution French Revolution]; other historians point specifically to the ultra-nationalist party in France during the French Revolution.

The term nationalism was coined by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Gottfried_Herder Johann Gottfried Herder] (nationalismus) during the late 1770s. Precisely where and when nationalism emerged is [[difficult]] to determine, but its [[development]] is closely related to that of the modern [[state]] and the push for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_sovereignty popular sovereignty] that came to a head with the French Revolution and the American Revolution in the late 18th century. Since that time, nationalism has become one of the most significant [[political]] and [[social]] [[forces]] in [[history]], perhaps most notably as a major [[influence]] or postulate of [[World War I]] and especially [[World War II]]. [[Fascism]], is a [[form]] of [[authoritarian]] civic nationalism which stresses [[absolute]] [[loyalty]] and [[obedience]] to the [[state]], whose [[purpose]] is to serve the interests of its nation alone.
