Origin of national identities
Hi Hxseek! How are things going? I keep running into conflicts with Croatian nationalists who seem to be the most persistent of the bunch. I keep reiterating the same arguments on the origins of the Croatian nation and identity, and it's annoying. I'm losing too much time I want to dedicate to other more productive things, so I'd like to have it somewhere summarized so that it can easily be invoked in discussions. Do you think wee need an article, or even better a series of articles for every European nation, that specifically deal with origins of modern-day national identities? I couldn't find any central place to discuss that and related issues are usually dispersed among disparate sections of unrelated articles. It could be inserted as a subtopic inside the {{Europe topic}} template. I'd like the summarize the conclusions from Fine's great boook but can't seem to find the place... --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
