Definition of Nationalism - Nationalism is a political stance of the people of a nation that has a similarity of culture, and the region as well as in common ideals and objectives, thus society as a nation feel any deep loyalty towards the nation itself.
Likewise, when we talk about nationalism. Nationalism is the soul of the nation of Indonesia which will continue to be attached to the nation during the Indonesia is still there.
Nationalism is not a narrow sense may even be still richer again in this age. Characteristics of nationalism above can be captured in a few definitions of nationalism as follows:
1. Nationalism is in love with the country, race, language or cultural history together.
2. Nationalism is a desire would be political independence, safety and prestige.
3. Nationalism is a mystical devotion towards the social organism hazy, sometimes even supernatural is referred to as a nation or a unity Volk are superior than its parts.
4. Nationalism is the dogma which teaches that individuals live only for the nation and the nation for the sake of the nation itself.
The growing nationalism continues to enter the 20th century with the following powers:
(1) the desire to unite and succeed in uniting the territory and people;
(2) following the expansion of the nation-State;
(3) growth and increased awareness of national culture and (4) power conflicts between Nations that are turned on by national feelings.
Now nationalism refers to the unity, uniformity, harmony, self-reliance and aggressiveness. (Boyd c. Shafer, 1955, p. 168).
As the symptoms of any other nationalism historical range anyway. In France, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain most of nationalism built up a strong monarchy, while in Central Europe and Eastern Europe especially nationalism formed over a non political foundations which are then deflected into the nation-state which is politically too.
But many scholars argue that nationalism gets its most clearly for the first time in the second half of the 18th century in the form of the great revolution of France and North America.
According to Professor w. f. Wertheim, nationalism can be considered as an integral part of political history, especially when emphasized at the context of nationalist movements during the national movement.
Anyway Wertheim also confirmed that factors such as changes in the economy, changes in system status, urbanization, reform Islam, cultural dynamics, all of which occurred in the colonial period have contributed a passive reaction to changes from Western influences to the active reaction of nationalism of Indonesia.
Those factors have been described at length in his book chapters titled: Indonesian Society in Transision: A Study of Social Change (1956).
The growth of nationalism of Indonesia turns out to be not as simple as previously thought. During this nationalism Indonesia showed their credentials on a certain degree of integration.
Nationalism should now be able to fill in and answer the challenges of transition. Of course the new values will not shake the nationalism itself for his supporters, namely the nation Indonesia still had a sense of belonging, that have new values mutually agreed.
Nationalism in fact is for the benefit and prosperity together, because nationalism against all forms of oppression against the other party, that person per person, groups in the community, or a nation. Nationalism is not distinguishing the good tribes, religion, or race.

b. existence of desire and determination to break away from the shackles of absolute power, so that human rights – the right is reasonably as citizens.
c. the existence of sense much bonding and compatriots.
d. resides in an area.
The history of the emergence of schools of nationalism in the world, also did not escape the influence of the United States war of independence against the outbreak of the French Revolution and the industrial revolution in the United Kingdom.
