Question

Which choice would be considered a nation?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

A nation is a stable community of people formed on the basis of common language, history, territory and ethnicity. The community occupies a defined territory and is organised under an independent government.

The word nation comes from old French nacion meaning 'birth' or 'place of origin'.

The Cherokee people were a tribe sharing common territory, history, language and customs. They were thus considered a nation.

All the rest of the examples are groups of people joined temporarily without any common territory or shared history.

Answer 2

The Cherokee people would be a nation because they are a group of people who are led.
