What reasons are there for a nation to want to become unified?

There are at least two major reasons why people of one nation (one ethnic group) would want to form a unified country.  One reason is nationalism.  The other reason is a desire for greater power.

There are at least two major reasons why people of one nation (one ethnic group) would want to form a unified country.  One reason is nationalism.  The other reason is a desire for greater power.


One reason why a nation would like to unify is because they are nationalistic.  That is, they feel a close tie to others of their nation and they feel that their nation is distinct from and superior to other nations.  They want to have a unified country of their own so that they can be together with their own kind.  That way, they can all be together without being ruled by people of other nations.  This, for example, is one reason why the Kurds would like to have a country of their own.


Another reason a nation might want to form a unified country is to become more powerful.  The country might feel that uniting with others of their nation will make their country bigger and stronger.  An example of this would be the unification of Germany in the 1860s and 1870s.  Before this time, there were many small states with ethnic German populations.  By uniting, they created one German state that had a great deal of power.


These are the two main reasons why nations want to create unified countries.
