What is difference between nationalism, imperialism and patriotism? |
| Answer» Nationalism is the pride one has for their country, values, culture, customs, traditions etc. They love what they are born as and take every opportunity to show their pride with happiness.Examples may include:\tMauri people of New Zealand performing the Haka with pride and teaching visitors about Maori culture of their country.\tIndians explaining the Ganga Aarti (prayer near Ganges river in India for everyone’s well being) as a tradition with pride and welcoming visitors to do the same, in Varanasi.\tUkrainians performing the Gopak dance for an international audience. etc.Imperialism is when you take that pride and force it down onto others.For example:\tBritain colonising Asian and African countries\tArab invaders invading and forceful conversion of the ancient Pharaonic Egypt, ancient Persia etc and then by extension, parts of India\tBelgium’s conquest of Congo\tFrance’s 19 subjects in Africa\tSpain and Portugal’s brutal annihilation of Latin American cultures.\tImperial Japan’s capture of China, South Korea and Pacific territories. | |
