This episode explores the concept of national identity and how it's a recent, fragile invention. For most of history, people identified with families or local communities, not nations. Strict borders and passports are modern constructs, and many countries didn't even exist 150 years ago. The video looks at places like France, Russia, and Turkey to illustrate how national identities are often complex and overlapping. Mass media and education helped create these national identities, often erasing local cultures. The video concludes by questioning the future of nationality, suggesting we might move toward identities based on shared human experiences rather than borders.
