How does "patriotism" differ from "nationalism"?





















Patriotism means “love for or devotion to one’s country.”

Nationalism means “loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially: a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.”

Thus, a patriot need not be a nationalist, but a nationalist is necessarily a patriot.
