Patriotism and nationalism are often used interchangeably, but they can have different meanings and connotations.  Patriotism refers to a love of one's country and a sense of loyalty and devotion to it. Patriotism can involve a range of emotions, including pride in one's country and its achievements, a sense of connection to its history and culture, and a desire to contribute to its well-being. Patriotism can also involve a willingness to defend one's country and its interests, both at home and abroad.  Nationalism, on the other hand, refers to a political and social ideology that emphasizes the interests and values of a particular nation. Nationalism often involves a strong sense of national identity and pride, and a belief in the superiority of one's nation over others. Nationalism can also involve a desire to protect and promote the interests of one's nation, often at the expense of other nations or groups.  While patriotism and nationalism can overlap in some ways, nationalism can also be more aggressive and exclusivist, often involving a sense of superiority over other nations and a willingness to use force or coercion to achieve national goals. Patriotism, on the other hand, can be more inclusive and oriented towards building positive relationships with other countries and promoting cooperation and understanding.  In summary, patriotism is a love of one's country and a sense of loyalty and devotion to it, while nationalism is a political and social ideology that emphasizes the interests and values of a particular nation.
