Nationalism is a relatively recent phenomenon in human history. For, in the past man's loyalty had been due not to the nation-state or nationality, but to differing forms of social authority, political organization and ideological cohesion such as tribe or clan, the city state or the feudal lord, the dynastic state, the church or the religious group. During the Middle Ages there are hardly any traces of nationalism, either in the Islamic World or Christendom. In those times, the abject of popular loyalty was not nationality but religion. In Europe, "the object of popular loyalty which was superior to all others" was Christendom.
