ABSTRACT
T he term “nationality” has two meanings. It is applied to designate collectively the citizens of one State, as when we describe a person’s nationality as American, French, or Italian, meaning by this that he is a citizen of the United States, France, or Italy. It is also used to designate persons who belong to one linguistic and cultural group, as when we say that the many irregularly distributed communities of the Balkan Peninsula are of Bulgarian, Servian, Greek, or Turkish nationality.
