Nationalist groups are organizations or movements that advocate for the interests and culture of a specific nation or ethnic group. They often seek to promote national identity, self-determination, and political independence. These groups can vary widely in their goals, ranging from peaceful advocacy for cultural preservation to more extreme actions aimed at achieving political power. Nationalist groups can be found in many countries and may arise in response to perceived threats to their identity or autonomy. They often emphasize shared history, language, and traditions, and may engage in political activities, protests, or campaigns to influence government policies related to their nation or ethnic group.
