Trends of Nationalism in 20th Century Europe
The development of modern nationalism is often dated to the French Revolution Era. Since that time and throughout history, nationalism has been motivated by a variety of different factors, bringing much change to regions or nations. There are also many cause and effects that contribute to nationalism.
