Relationship between nationalism and anti-colonialism


Nationalism is a patriotic feeling and anti-colonialism is the process of revolution. Nationalism fueled anti-colonialism. Want for more rights is the basic reason for all of the revolutions. The American people wanted a say in Parliament, the French wanted more rights because they felt they're tax money wasn't well spent if their government was in debt still after all the taxes they had to pay, and the Spanish slaves wanted to be set free (wanted the same rights as their owners). Another example is in existing empires such as the Ottomans were nationalism caused areas such as Egypt to increasingly transfer allegiance from the Ottoman Empire towards Egypt itself.
