History. When the Sputnik was launched in 1957, it shocked the world. Even though Sputnik was just 22 inches in diameter (slightly larger than a basketball), the Soviets' successful launch of a satellite thrust the United States into a space race that paralleled the arms race of the Cold War.

Thee forms of nationalism, from the list:

political

ethnic

religious

Geography can play a role in the formation of nations. But when we speak of types of nationalism, we generally refer to ideas around which a nationalist feeling is based.

Ethnic nationalism focuses on shared ethnic identity, seen in common language, racial group, etc.

Political nationalism focuses on loyalty to the political state in which one resides--to its ideology and political system. In its formation, the United States served as an example of this form of nationalism, uniting around a shared idea.

Cultural nationalism (not listed above) sits between ethnic and political nationalism, incorporating features of both. It focuses on shared traditions within a country. Though it may have some connection to ethnic commonality, the greater emphasis is on shared experience and national traditions.

Religious nationalism sees a connection between a particular religious identity and national identity. A Muslim nation that operates under Sharia law would be an example. The United States can also be an example if/when people describe the US as "a Christian nation" and see patriotism aligning with principles of the Christian religion.

Katarina [22]
Jacques Marquette explored the northern portion of the Mississippi River and founded Michigan's first settlement. He explored extensively in mid-western states such as modern-day Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. Louis Joliet is also known for exploring the Upper Mississippi and was with Jacques Marquette when Marquette explored, so they have the same exploration route.
