Spanish Nationalism
Spanish Nationalism is a political and cultural movement that emphasizes the identity, unity, and interests of the Spanish nation. It often seeks to promote the Spanish language, culture, and history, while advocating for the preservation of Spain's territorial integrity. This nationalism can manifest in various forms, from cultural pride to political movements.
The roots of Spanish Nationalism can be traced back to the 19th century, particularly during the Spanish-American War and the rise of regional identities. It has been influenced by historical events, such as the Spanish Civil War, and continues to shape contemporary debates about regional autonomy, especially in areas like Catalonia and the Basque Country.
