Evaluation of effects of the war of Iraq against Iran on independence and solidarity of Iranian nationalism

Abstract:War is an event that generally and specifically had an influence on the nature of every society and governments through various aspects such as Political, economic, social, cultural, and ideological. It has a reciprocal relationship with the nationalism so that its political impact an nationalism guarantees the survival and durability of a government via public support and determines political dynamics of a nation. The imposed war of Iraq against Iran, in spite of linguistic and ethnic diversity among Iranians, founded a new concept of nationalism, underlying thy unity of Persian identity and religion. This war changed thy secularist –humanistic nationalism in Iran and gave it an Islamic and humanistic manner. In this way it filled thy gap between religious and nationalism and planned a fresh natural identity for thy country. This modernized nationalism in Iran exposed thy purposes, necessities and national identity in both sacred (religious), and common (people) parts. Now this question came to our mind that, to what extend thy imposed war of Iraq against Iran had influenced thy Iran nationalism?
