Answer 1

Answer:

1. European Nationalism is the basis for the development of the modern nation-state.

2. British nationalism asserts that the British are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Britons.

Explanation:

1. Nationalism is the basis for the development of the modern nation-state. In the 19th century, a wave of romantic nationalism swept the European continent, transforming its countries. Some newly formed countries, such as Germany and Italy were formed by uniting various regional states with a common "national identity".

2. British nationalism asserts that the British are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Britons, in a definition of  Britishness that may include people of English, Scottish,  Welsh, and Irish descent (those living in both Northern Ireland  and Great Britain and historically the whole of Ireland when it was within the United Kingdom). British nationalism is closely associated with British unionism, which seeks to uphold the political union that is the United Kingdom, or strengthen the links between the countries of the United Kingdom.
