Answer 1

Patriotism is a mind set of being proud of and supporting your country. General dictates social behaviours.

Nationalism is a political belief that will dictate someone’s political or world views. May either be purely political, that you feel your nation should have more power to govern itself. This may or may not be borne from a more extreme, right wing, belief that your country and people are superior to others and should be prioritised at all costs. This latter point is where there can be significant overlap with more extreme patriotism.
