"කුමාරධානි" හි සංශෝධන අතර වෙනස්කම්

[[Nationalism]], the belief that the nation-state is the best vehicle to realise the aspirations of a people, became popular in the late 19th century. Characteristic of nationalism is the preference for loyalty to the people instead of loyalty to monarchs. With this development, principalities fell out of favour. As a compromise, many principalities united with neighbouring regions and adopted constitutional forms of government with the monarch as a mere figurehead while administration was left at the hands of elected parliaments. The trend after [[Worldදෙවන Warලෝක IIයුද්ධය]] was the abolition of various forms of monarchy like principalities and the creation of republican governments led by popularly elected presidents.
