Abstract: Nationalism arose in Europe in the years 1880 and 1920 and then spread globally. The twentieth century showed nationalist aspirations almost everywhere be that in old states or new ones, large states or small ones. Nationalism has not disappeared from the political scene, nor is it possible to disappear in the near future. A number of studies on nationalism and national movements focus not only in the aspects of politics but also in other aspects such as culture, language, religion, and art. However, globalization seems to have given a new direction to the world order. Or is globalization just another effort to minimize the importance of national identity and nationhood. The proclamation of nationality, voluntary separation of a group into a nation, which distinguishes itself from its surrounding neighbors even when in the same state, government or administration not to mention broader areas shows that national identity should be protected by all means. The aim of this paper is to tackle the issue of national identity through the lenses of modernism.
