Abstract

This essay will argue the case in favour of the statement that "it is nationalism which engenders nations, and not the other way around." Ironically, the difficulties in doing so are also encountered by those who disagree with the statement. In the first place, there has yet to be any real consensus reached among historians on the question. Secondly, definitions of the terms "nationalism" and "nation" vary from one source to another, and thirdly, a large proportion of this debate relies on the context in which the argument is made, i.e. the time-frame and historical references used.
