Preferred term

national identity  

Definition

  • National identities have played a leading role on the world stage ever since the end of Europe's Thirty Years’ War between Catholics and Protestants, which resulted in the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This is the treaty that granted local political leaders sovereignty over their own territories and is often marked as the beginning of the concept of the nation-state.
