Bismarck rallied the German speaking people within the former Holy Roman Empire where they for centuries looked to local noblemen for leadership. They later followed Bismarck’s call to nationhood based upon their common German language and shared culture. This included their heritage of victories and failures built into their history and myth, dating back to the Roman Empire. The United States on the other hand is comprised of many different cultures, including race, language, various heritage, income levels, etc. But we consider ourselves a nation too, despite our diversity. We celebrate our national heritage in acts of patriotism; flags, parades, military service, etc. What is the comparison between nationalism and patriotism? If the Germans argue the legitimacy of their nation based on the shared heritage of the German people, then what is the common heritage of the American people? What makes us a nation?
