Origin of national identities Hi Hxseek How are things going I keep running into conflicts with Croatian nationalists who seem to be the most persistent of the bunch I keep reiterating the same arguments on the origins of the Croatian nation and identity and it s annoying I m losing too much time I want to dedicate to other more productive things so I d like to have it somewhere summarized so that it can easily be invoked in discussions Do you think wee need an article or even better a series of articles for every European nation that specifically deal with origins of modern day national identities I couldn t find any central place to discuss that and related issues are usually dispersed among disparate sections of unrelated articles It could be inserted as a subtopic inside the template I d like the summarize the conclusions from Fine s great boook but can t seem to find the place
