What is the main difference between Arab nationalism and the separatist movements of the Basques or Kurds?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2 - Arab nationalism seeks to unite Arab countries, while the Basques and Kurds seek to divide existing states
Today, in many parts of the world we witness nationalist struggles that threaten to divide existing states. Such separatist movements have developed among the Quebecois in Canada, the Basques in northern Spain, the Kurds in Turkey and Iraq, and the Tamils in Sri Lanka, among others. The language of nationalism is also used by some groups in India. Arab nationalism today may hope to unite Arab countries in a pan Arab union but separatist movements like the Basques or Kurds struggle to divide existing states.
