Ethnic Nationalism, as stated, 19th c.-present
19th Century · stated scope
Ethnic nationalism is a political ideology holding that the nation is defined by shared ethnicity, including common ancestry, language, culture, or heritage, and that political boundaries should correspond to the distribution of ethnic groups. It emerged as a distinct ideological current in 19th-century Western Europe and has been present across multiple world regions from that period to the present. It is principally associated with movements seeking the alignment of state boundaries with ethnically defined populations, as well as with policies and legal frameworks designating membership in the nation on ethnic rather than civic grounds.
