Etymology

The word 'nation' originated from the Latin word 'natio', which means 'birth' or 'race'. Over time, the concept of a nation evolved to represent a group of people with shared characteristics living in a specific territory. Nations play a crucial role in shaping global politics, culture, and identity. The idea of nationhood has been a driving force behind revolutions, independence movements, and the formation of modern states.
