I don’t understand the concept of nationalism and it shows itself in the modern world. After reading a textbook with past examples, and googling it I still don’t understand it

A way I think of Nationalism is the feeling of pride in ones nations, basically its showing how a person is proud in their country, nation, or nation-state. (nation-state and country are the same thing lol) A modern example is how people of a country feel after their countries team wins in a NBA game or NHL game, a more specific example is how the Toronto Raptors won the NBA last year and all Canadians especially people in Toronto felt proud of Canada for achieving this. A good past example is how the people of France felt when the revolution started, they felt pride in the revolution because the Ancien Regime was becoming abloshied. Another example was the Storming of The Bastille which made French people feel pride because it showed them that there is hope for change.

Hope this helped! I only have a Summer Schools length of knowledge on Social20-1. But this is what helped me know.
