1) During the early twentieth century, various nationalistic movements involved goals and values. In Europe and areas such as Russia and the Ottoman Empire, nationalists wanted to promote independence and secession in areas that had different ethnic origins, culture, language, and political ideals. Slavic people (i.e. Serbs) wanted to form their own country. Ethnic groups such as the Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Coats, and the Slovenes asserted the right of self-determination.
