It really is fascinating to learn how relatively new in history the concept of nation states is.

Tbh this is why I find the “it’s super young” argument extremely weak alongside the context of all the shitty stuff Israel does. Like there’s a lot of young countries out there, that’s not the problem. Though I suppose it’s important to know it’s young when people try to act like Israel has always existed.

Nationalism was first practiced in the French Revolution and is originally an Enlightenment Age idea from the late 18th century

The word doing the heavy lifting in my statement is relatively. Two and a half centuries is a lot of human development, but not a lot of time in the whole of recorded history. Think about the age of empire dying out in the 20th century and how many more countries are asserting their state sovereignty or gaining independence.

As you pointed out, the concept is old. But that doesn’t quite mean it was a global trend as soon as the French lopped off Louis and Marie’s heads.
