		This national identity crisis led to the affirmation of new forms of group belonging, in which all-British patriotism took second place, and in some cases (as with the peripheral nationalisms) was vehemently contested.
		Their rigour was to mark social life in the Scottish countryside (and later was to be exported to the North-East of Ireland, which became the second home for calvinism on the British Isles).
		Muir was in any case to disappear off the Scottish scene for long years, as he and his wife chose voluntary exile in the British Council outposts in Central and later Southern Europe.

	Demos - Events - Why nationalism matters
		Scottish nationalism has always had a peculiarly British character, being peaceful and democratic, non-ethnic based, and often buying into a very benign view of the United Kingdom.
		Labour unionists articulate their support of the British state by present Scottish nationalism as an SNP grudge.
		The rise of a Scottish dimension to politics from the mid-1960s saw Scottish voters give notice that they did not trust the manner in which the post-war consensus was slowly fragmenting, believe in Labour or Conservatives, or in the ability of Westminster and the British political system to understand Scotland.

		That is, the Irish were starting to realize not only that imperial discrimination was based upon religion, but it was also based on ethnicity as a whole, and the fact that the British believed their ethnic group to be superior.
		A growth or shift in the Irish understanding of nationalism occurred at this time due to the ethnicity-based prejudice of imperial post-famine policy and the effects of this policy on the socio-economic climate of Ireland.
		Religious-rooted nationalism was growing and although Tone had paved the way for politicization, a new nationalist leader, Daniel O’Connell, was to emerge in the early nineteenth century.

	Irish FAQ: History [5/10]
		Stormont, as the Northern Irish government and parliament were known, was suspended (later to be abolished) and direct rule from London was introduced by the British Prime Minister, Ted Heath.
		(Nationalism became a force throughout Europe in the mid nineteenth century, leading for example to the creation of Italy and Germany as nation states for the first time.) But there was a complicating factor.
		The Treaty of 1921 that ended the war with the British was a messy compromise.

	LETTERS
		Scottish nationalism became a component part of British nationalism--a tartan gloss on empire.
		While Irish national consciousness led thousands to fight British imperialism, elements of the Scottish national tradition were used to persuade thousands of young Scotsmen to kill and die for it.
		Scottish nationalism hardly existed during the heyday of empire.

	To Pry Up the English Nation - Mark Twain
		A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court generated significant criticism from British reviewers who took offense at Mark Twain's comic use of the Arthurian legend and his criticism of monarchy and religion.
		In this letter responding to his British publisher's request for a toned-down version of the book, Twain says he wrote it specifically for a British audience, "to pry up the English nation to a little higher level of manhood."
		So many Englishmen have done their sincerest best to teach us something for our betterment that it seems to me high time that some of us should substantially recognize the good intent by trying to pry up the English nation to a little higher level of manhood in turn.

	National Culture vs. Cultural Nationalism
		Nationalism is a product of a definite stage of development of society and its political and economic aspects take concrete shape in that particular period, and in this respect they do draw a demarcating line from the past socio-economic systems.
		In its election manifesto BJP has brazenly said that "this cultural heritage which is central to all regions, religions and languages, is a civilisational identity and constitutes the cultural nationalism of India, which is the core of Hindutwa".
		In common parlance nationalism is understood primarily as a political concept meaning an ideology which provides basis for national integration and cohesion, as well as for seeking national independence from colonial or semi-colonial rule of imperialist powers.

	Irish Nationalism - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		SF Britain is not a registered political party and it's posters appear to follow the orthodox British nationalist's policies on Ireland.
		In the long run, we wish to end the conflict in Ireland by welcoming Eire as well as Ulster as equal partners in a federation of the nations of the British Isles.
		The one thing that I lament is the Gaelicization of the English nation, through mass-immigration (one result of this is a new-found love of the underdog [something profoundly un-English], and the inability to be proud of achievement [rather than victimhood]); I'm an ardent Germanicist when it comes to the ethnic constitution (and culture) of England.

	CBC News - Viewpoint: Larry Zolf
		That nationalism of the Tories led to a shunning by Quebec, whose nationalism certainly did not embrace the British ideals of the Conquest, ideals that the Tories wished to perpetuate in Canada.
		America, after all, was a melting pot, full of non-British immigrants whose American nationalism was shaped by Roosevelt and Truman, and by John Kennedy, America's only Catholic president and, among other things, an author of a book about America being a nation of immigrants.
		In every sense of the word, Liberal nationalism was based on a suspicion of Britain – and very little suspicion of the Americans.

	Summary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - Israeli-Palestinian ProCon.org
		As the administrative and governing authority between 1920 and 1948, the British attempt to pacify the conflicting national aspirations of the Jewish and Palestinian Arab populations.
		This was accepted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in November 1947, with very active support from the United States and from Russia, which wanted the British to withdraw from Palestine.
		Initially, Palestinians were part of the general movement of Arab nationalism that engulfed the Levant.

		Hindutva was first defined by V D Savarkar, one of founders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangha (RSS), the right-wing Hindu grouping set up by the British in the early 1920s to keep Hindus divided and to extend British colonial rule.
		These nations do not call themselves "secular", but some Indians are hell bent on being identified as citizens of a "secular" nation.
		During the Cold War period, particularly from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, India was a witting victim of yet another hollow debate.

	Modern History Sourcebook: O'Connell: Justice for Ireland, 1836
		Nationalism took was had both reactionary and liberating aspects.
		O'Connell's repeated success in winning election in 1828, persuaded the British prime minister - the Duke of Wellington - that reform was necessary, and the Catholic Emancipation Act was passed in 1829, and O'Connell became a Member of Parliament.
		O'Connell's first major success was the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, allowing Roman Catholics to become members of the British House of Commons.

	ipedia.com: Anglo-Saxons Article
		Today the term "Anglo-Saxon" is used to refer to the English ethnic group, as opposed to "Scottish", "Irish", "Welsh" and "Cornish" (which was otherwise known as British).
		Recent genetic testing of the inhabitants of England, Wales and the Low Countries does seem to show, according to some specialists, a large scale displacement of the earlier British populations out of England at some point in time in favor of people who are very closely related to the people inhabiting modern Friesland.
		Anglo-Saxon occupation of Britain is traditionally considered the origin of the modern English nation.

	Papineau to Bouchard: Quebec Nationalism
		It is because of that that I decided to look back at the origins of Quebec Nationalism from the roots to now through revolution, referendums, and terrorism.
		When the 92 Resolutions, a list of economic and political reforms, is refused by the British Parliament, Papineau and his supporters (called the Patriotes) begin rebellion against the crown in order to form a Canadian Republic, and they even adopted a flag and emblem (later reused by the FLQ).
		The British, who though they risked losing the entirety of their colonies in North America, made a deal protecting Catholicism and property rights for French Canadians in the Act of Quebec of 1774, fearing they would join the "Americans".

	My attitude towards Irish nationalism - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		As a British citizen living in N. Ireland, i know Sinn Fein are helping immigrants to claim Irish citizenship for the future united Ireland vote, as they can't convert British protestants to vote for them.
		But after a long time on SF and noting that all Western nations face the same problems of racial influx, I have become much more sympathetic to the claims of the Irish nation.
		Surely when the negroes and Pakistanis take over they won't be interested in any disputes that have previously taken place in Ireland, and all Irish people will find themselves 2nd class citizens in what ought to be their country.

	The Nation Wreckers: Jewish Influence in British Politics, Herut
		Vested interests are at work attempting to stir up a conflict between British Nationalism and the Jewish Community, some motivated by a desire to stop the rise of British Nationalism, some motivated by a desire to promote immigration to Israel, and some motivated by both.
		The "British" section of Herut was formed some 5 years ago, has a full-time general secretary, and boasts a membership of over 5,000.
		Another crime committed by the Irgun was the kidnapping and torture of British Army Sergeants Clifford Martin and Mervyn Paice.

		The third form of nationalism, Qu�b�cois nationalism, takes root after 1960, with the onset of the �Quiet Revolution.� While Qu�b�cois nationalism is resolutely statist, unlike the traditional forms of nationalism most powerful in Quebec from 1880 through 1960, it shares the preoccupation of French-Canadian nationalism with the survival of a francophone minority in North America.
		The Quebec Act of 1774 (fifteen years after the British takeover) gave French-Canadian society linguistic and religious guarantees, indicating that the British authorities accepted (if only pragmatically) a permanent francophone and Catholic presence in the St. Lawrence Valley as a part of the Empire.
		Canadian involvement in foreign wars was another occasion for English-French conflict.

		Burmese nationalism was growing, and he called the colonial environment “a stifling, stultifying world in which to live.” From this experience emerged the book Burmese Days (1934) and the brilliant essays “Shooting an Elephant” and “A Hanging.” He became convinced that the British Empire was a capitalist mechanism to exploit the subjugated poor.
		His attraction to a woman in the British Foreign Office may also account for one of the most controversial episodes in his life.
		In 1949, he gave her a list of prominent journalists and intellectuals whom he said should not be used in government work because they were “crypto communists,” or otherwise untrustworthy.

	White nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Europe, several far right political parties such as the British National Party, France's Front National, the Austrian Freedom Party, and the Italian Northern League have won support based on platforms widely seen as advocating racial separatism, traditional nationalism, and anti-immigrant xenophobia.
		Critics argue that white nationalism intersects with, or is a euphemism for, white supremacy or white racism.
		White nationalism is more controversial than other forms of ethnic or racial identity politics because it is often allied with ideas of inherent white supremacy; in many countries it is a backlash movement against gains made by other racial and ethnic groups against the unequal power of privilege of the dominant white population.

	Irish nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Irish nationalism is particularly associated with the Roman Catholic community, especially in Northern Ireland, where the terms "Catholic" and "Nationalist" are used interchangeably.
		The Irish Free State left the British Commonwealth in 1949 and declared itself to be the Republic of Ireland.
		One manifestation of this was the introduction of compulsory Irish language in education and for all civil and public servants.

	English people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some British ethnic groups, notably the Cornish and the Cumbrians have a noticeably less diluted connection to the pre-Anglo-Saxon Celtic Britons; As a result of this, some Cornish claim not to be English but Cornish.
		English common law is also the foundation of legal systems throughout the English speaking countries of the world, and the English Parliament had an influence on the operation of most democratic governments created after 1651 (partly through the incorporation of aspects of the English democratic system into the United States Constitution).
		The English as an ethnic group can trace their heritage back to the Anglo-Saxons (or Old English), who between the 5th and 7th centuries, after the withdrawal of the Roman Empire, came to occupy most of lowland Britain (although a lack of documentation from the Dark Ages means few individuals can prove such descent).

	Democratic Imperialism: A Blueprint by Stanley Kurtz - Policy Review, No. 118

		The earliest period of British colonial rule was marked by extreme exploitation and neglect.
		Presumably, American rule in Iraq would be relatively free of the racial and cultural bigotry that so marred British rule in India.

	British Petroleum and Global Oil, 1950-1975: The Challenge of Nationalism

		British Petroleum and Global Oil, volume three of a series on the history of BP, describes that transformation.
		What might have appeared a local problem for this one company soon broadened, as its resolution drew in the British government, majority shareholder in Anglo-Iranian, to negotiations with the Iranian government.

	Nationalism.html
		Many Irish immigrants were deeply bitter toward the British as the cause of what they saw as their forced migration or exile (Miller, 14), and were often homesick about for their native country.
		Her Irish historical romances -- fictionalized accounts of actual battles -- were written to instill in immigrants the same kind of cultural and ethnic pride that many African-American writers and critics have cultivated in recent decades.
		The sheer number of Irish novels she produced suggests she was single-handedly trying to provide immigrants with the kind of literature she felt was lacking.

	Ethnicity & Nationalism
		Nationalism, being a modern state ideology, is present in the social worlds in which the anthropologists themselves live.
		When studying nationalism in a foreign country, it is therefore difficult to use one's own society as an implicit contrast as anthropologists have frequently done when studying "exotic" societies.
		The same can be said for "nation" and "nationalism", and many of us have to admit that the meaning of these terms frequently seems ambiguous and vague.

	Anglo-Saxon Origins: The Reality of the Myth
		English people who have spent their entire lives in England and who would be classified as English by any foreigner nevertheless feel (and thus know) they are British, not always because of an ancestry which includes a member from Scotland, Wales or Ireland.
		The ancestors of the English came from a wide swathe of the northern European coastlands: the Elbe and Weser estuaries, Jutland, SchleswigHolstein, Friesland and probably the area between the northern coast and the Rhine.
		An English nation was not defined and given form by a founder-hero or a foundation-legend.
