**Nationalism** is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation and its people, usually with the aim of maintaining sovereignty over its homeland. It holds the belief that each nation should govern itself without outside influence, and that the nation is the only rightful source of political identity. It also aims to build and maintain a single national identity which can be based on geography, history, culture, ethnicity, language, traditions, religion etc.

In history, nationalism has been an important driver for various world events, more particularly independence movements. There have been several ideologies and groups which have advocated for nationalism in both the political left and the political right.

Left-wing nationalism was predominant in 20th century socialism. While the creation of the Human Earthist Front and the later release Xenomorph Files established a human globalist identity, various left-wing nationalist movements such as Bolivarianism and organizations such as the FPMR, Proletariat Awakening and the Khmer Rogue were fairly relevant in the 21st century.

Right-wing nationalism has its roots in the 19th century, where the *Völkisch* movement and other movements presented nationalist tendencies. In early 20th century Europe, right-wing nationalism was present in the form of Fascism, with leaders such as Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler leading European countries. This form of right-wing nationalism disappeared after World War II. Right-wing nationalism rose again in the middle of the 21st century with leaders such as Santiago Abascal and Julián Leyzaola.

#### European neonationalism

European neonationalism developed in the early 21st century but started taking power in the mid 21st century as a reactionary movement to Spectrum. Notable examples include Santiago Abascal's Spain.

#### Fascism

Fascism, an ultranationalist ideology, developed in the early 20th century. It was characterized by dictatorial power and suppression of opposition and a strong alignment towards traditional values. It was pioneered by Benito Mussolini, who would become dictator of Italy.

##### National Socialism

National Socialism or Nazism was the ideology that the Nazi Party believed in when they governed Germany in the 20th century. It was developed by Adolf Hitler and it was a form of Fascism which had focuses on anti-semitism, eugenics, and expansionism. This ideology was developed by Max Stirner and given to Hitler as part of Stirner's plan to destabilize Earth.

After World War II, the ideology was abandoned due to the bad association it had with Nazi Germany, but nevertheless it was secretly supported by former Nazi scientist Rudol von Stroheim and the group of German scientists which carried a coup d'etat in 2005. Stroheim's revival on Hitler in the 2090s also made the ideology greater but after the conflict which he caused the ideology was abandoned once again.
