French Nationalism
French nationalism () usually manifests as cultural nationalism, promoting the cultural unity of France.

The wars produced a great icon of French nationalism, Joan of Arc. The Catholic religion also played a major role after the Protestant Reformation. French nationalism became a powerful movement after the French Revolution in 1789.
