Has a thing such as "European nationalism" ever existed in history?
Nietzsche.
Maybe Hitler wanted to unify Europe but we'll never know what went on inside his mind.
"europe" isn't a nation, it's barely even a clear region.

Yes, everyone with a brain thought and still thinks it's retarded.
Napoleon had the idea.
>>1101440
>what went on inside his mind
well we know a bullet went through it
>>1101433
What do you mean by that? Wanting to found a nation of all the states of Western and Eastern Europe? Sure, a number of people, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, etc. have hoped, called and fought for that.
Has there been a drive from the citizens and subjects of the western states to blanda up spontaneously, as one big "European nation"? I don't know, but I somehow doubt it.

before charlesmagne, when the germans wanted to be romans, yes

Italy was also called a geographical construct before it was unified.
Hell, even Germany itself is a geographical construct.
>lets just unify all these completely different people with completely different cultures based on the sole fact that we speak *roughly* the same language
>>1101939
it wasn't that roughly, there had been some efforts to unify the german language
>>1101433
There isn't a nation called Europe, so no.
Napoleon did speak of the United States of Europe though.
>>1101939
well, what criteria for unification besides speaking the same language would you suggest then mister?
>>1101433
No.
The only thing close to it is in modern times some misguided nationalists think the EU is about the prosperity and unity of the European peoples and not a marxist organization that wants to completely destroy european civilization, culture and identity.
>>1101433
It was called Catholicism
>>1101990
Upholding the same beliefs, morals, customs, traditions, values and culture.
And more than anything else, the desire for unification is an ideal any man or woman can have, and the things that you are willing to do to make it happen, as in fighting wars of unification or making great marches to spread your word, prove that you are ultimately right and that an unification is a process destined to happen.
Europe is a Christian continent. Europe has a lot in common with itself. Any argument against European unification can be used against any other unification, such as Italy or Germany.
>>1102016
This, but it only really held for some people, and mostly manifested during the Crusades.
The long held parts of the Roman Empire also came to have a common nationalism, but it wasn't all of Europe.
>>1102018
>Upholding the same beliefs, morals, customs, traditions, values and culture.
name one country where this actually happens that isn't a muslim shitshow
>>1102018
>Europe is a Christian continent
It's actually a peninsula, and soon to be an Islamic one at that.
>>1102031
>and soon to be an Islamic one at that
Not funny you faggot.
We will make them assimilate and then throw a giant ass party that you'll be envy at for decades.

>The Chinese government also passed along inquiries about the welfare of the besieged from their governments. A British soldier suggested that an appropriate reply would be, ”Not massacred yet."
any nationalism is a pretty fluid and uncertain thing. Most people say that nationalism never existed until the 19th century. But Nationalist believe it has always existed.
>>1102016
It's called Popery. It will probably fail in the end. Their biggest fans are in Latin America and Africa, and its voodoo hoodoo catholicism.
>>1101498
do we?
>>1101433
>oldest paper with word "Europe" written on is from a Catholic priest.
>first use of "Europe" word on an official paper is on a Papal document.
So what do you think op?
>>1101433
The Crusades were essentially about "European nationalism," inasmuch as "Europe" is the cultural heir of "Christendom."
>>1105281
Do retards who do Europe vs USA arguments count?
>>1105275
The Greeks already used it as a geographical term and the Romans after them
>>1105322
The greeks were bunch of barbarians running around naked in poverty adn Romans only got civilised after becoming christians.
Great argument faggot.
Europe needs to unite under a illuminated God Emperor
