Question

. Considering the class discussion about nationalist movement, what similarities and/or differences do you see between modern nationalist movement, like the Tamil Tigers or the Kurds, and the American Revolution. Be specific as to the similarities and differences you find in you research.

Answer 1

The American revolution was against an imperialist government while these are against national governments.

Explanation:

The American revolution was fought against an imperial government wherein the american land was a colony of the British while the Kurds and the Tamil tigers are fighting for their land in a National government.

The war for the kurds and tigers is more about their ethnic identity than representation or self rule as it was for the Americans.

They did not see themselves as much different from the British while the Kurds and Tamils are separate ethnic groups from the ones around them,.
