Ethnic Self-determination

Ethnic self-determination is a principle that was advocated by Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Supporters think that national borders should be drawn along lines that unite various ethnicities within the same country.

The idea was also embraced by Adolf Hitler, who used it to justify wars of conquest.
