Etymology

The term 'ultranationalistic' emerged in the early 20th century as a descriptor for extreme forms of nationalism that prioritize one's own nation above all others. The ideology is often associated with aggressive and exclusionary practices, leading to conflict and tension between different ethnic or national groups. Ultranationalistic movements have been criticized for fostering intolerance and promoting divisive attitudes. The word itself combines 'ultra-' meaning extreme and 'nationalistic' referring to extreme patriotism or loyalty to one's nation.
