The term “nationalism” is generally used to describe two phenomena: (1) the attitude that the members of a nation have when they care about their national identity, and (2) the actions that the members of a nation take when seeking to achieve (or sustain) self-determination. (1) raises questions about the concept of a nation (or national identity), which is often defined in terms of common origin, ethnicity, or cultural ties, and specifically about whether an individual's membership in a nation should be regarded as non-voluntary or voluntary. (2) raises questions about whether self-determination must be understood as involving having full statehood with complete authority over domestic and international affairs, or whether something less is required.

Answer 2

Answer:

These groups of people saw nations such as Germany and Italy forming based on ethnic definitions and wanted that for themselves.

Some of the groups had been under control of foreign governments for centuries and wanted their nations now.

Self-determination was seen as the proper way to decide governments and national borders.planation:
