This attitude of love and sense of belonging to one's homeland is closely related to the growth of historical awareness in citizens. With the spirit of nationalism, identity and cultural continuity will be maintained, this is due to a feeling of love for every work of one's nation, as well as a sense of appreciation for one's nation's past as the navigator of the ship of a nation's journey. The purpose of writing this article is to explain the actual relationship between nationalism and historical awareness. The method used is the library method. The results of the research show that nationalism and historical awareness have a very close relationship and are inseparable from each other and cannot be developed without one of them.


INTRODUCTION
It is generally agreed that studying history is important, but in fact there are still many people who question what the purpose and use of studying history is?The fact that history continues to be written by people throughout civilization and throughout time has proven that history is necessary (Kuntowijoyo, 2013).Of course, the purpose and use here can be seen from where and who is studying history.If we look at it from the perspective of Indonesian historians, we come to the point of understanding that history aims to make those who study it wise or have what is called wisdom (Sayono, 2015).
Nationalism is very often associated with history, as how nationalism is formed and shaped over time is considered to be historical work or can be called a historical process (A.Aman, 2009;Anderson, 2006).On the other hand, Aman Wisdom after opening the doors of historical knowledge will find various wisdom and meaning in life (Sayono, 2015).Ideal history learning encourages people who learn to have historical awareness, namely a mental attitude and state of mind which is the strength to be active in the dynamics of history (Abdulgani, 1980) (Zed, 2004).

Understanding Nationalism
Nationalism is often interpreted as love for one's country, this meaning is in line with Hans Kohn's (1984) view that nationalism is an understanding or state of mind that an individual's highest loyalty is to his or her national country.This view then shifted to that nationalism is an imagination, an image of togetherness as a sovereign community (Anderson, 2006).
In the context of Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries, nationalism has its basis in colonialism and anticolonialism as its main content, so this nationalism then develops as an effective movement in social life as well as a strong emotion that dominates the thoughts and actions of Indonesian society in general (Kartodirdjo, 1962).

In the next chapter we will read the antithesis of the first chapter, how there misuse (Soedjatmoko, 1980).
A nation needs to deepen and strengthen its understanding of history which can illuminate and live up to its national personality.A continuous selfreflection based on historical awareness will also free Indonesian people from a completely mythological sense of self and the characteristics of misuse of national personality conceptions (Soedjatmoko, 1980).
According to A. Aman (2009) nationalism itself cannot be grown without historical awareness.Because nationalism requires education that leads to the growth and development of national character.This (2009)  stated that nationalism is the goal of history learning or what he often calls The Relationship Between Nationalism and Historical…, Muhammad Hasmal Mahfud, et.al, 1-8 DOI: 10.24127/hj.v12i1.7730character nation building which is parallel to historical awareness.The statement above makes us question again what is the purpose of studying history.Becoming a wise human being is the goal of studying history.
defines it as a mental attitude and intellectual orientation in how a nation confronts reality and social reality from the perspective of the present, the past, and the future.This definition departs from the belief that it is not enough for us to interpret what is happening today as rooted in the past but we need to see at the same time the views and hopes regarding the future that drive historical awareness that frees humans from dependence on ahistorical forces.Historical awareness in a deeper way (than Namier intended) connects humans with the "upper world" in contrast to the traditional, ahistorical understanding in Western Europe.Historical awareness is believed by Soedjatmoko to change human relations with reality, change and expand the area between human activities and the world, and in this case succeed in controlling their fate and goals.on human efforts and actions themselves, especially on human competence to choose and process the possibilities or opportunities that exist in this world.Success and failure in human life are not related to forces outside the world, in fact, according to Soedjatmoko, God's intervention from a historical perspective is only one of the factors that together give rise to a historical event.So historical awareness can be called a struggle to reclaim human freedom in determining their goals and path in life

figures in maintaining the integrity of the Indonesian state and nation during the 1945-1965 period."Of course this could be very broad if it were to be developed .Based on various considerations, the textbook author only included 7 hero figures who were considered as possible representatives of national unity figures.The seven figures include Frans Kaisiepo, Silas Papare, Marthen Indey, Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX, Sultan Syarif Kasim II, Ismail Marzuki, and Opu Daeng Risaju (Abdurakhman et al., 2018).If we read the stories of these seven selected characters, almost all of them are characters who fought with physical strength to move troops, political strength, power and logistics.These are the characteristics of the struggles commonly experienced by characters during the revolutionary period, although including the name Ismail Marzuki gives a different color from other characters besides the name Opu Daeng Risaju as the name of the only female character written (Abdurakhman et al., 2018).Ismail Marzuki provides a broader perspective on the struggle to maintain national unity.This figure reminds me of Prof. Hariyono's lectures about Pancasila that being Pancasila means being
