How European Nationalism Developed into Fascism

The Development of European Nationalism in Different Historical Periods

ABSTRACT

Nationalism has existed for a long period of time since the Renaissance period. The world especially the European continent witnesses its birth in Renaissance and its first bloom in the 19th century as well as its continuous growth till today. Researchers have done a wide range of research regarding the European nationalism as this ideology is not only influential in Renaissance, 19th century and second world war but also influential in the post-modern society. Hence, this paper is going to address the evolutionary trend of European nationalism from initial stage to widespread ideology to fascism and then to liberal nationalism in these days with focus on the transition to fascism which impacted the whole Europe from its geographical centers--Germany and Italy.
