This chapter examines how cultural nationalism became a global phenomenon. It argues this occurred though the interplay of three processes in tension with each other, a drive by European historicist intellectuals to uncover the most distant origins of peoples and their affiliations, a global expansion of empires which claimed to be custodians of world civilizations, and countervailing movements of anticolonial resistance. I briefly illustrate this through the cases of Egyptian and Afghan nationalism.
