For establishing national territory and identity, this study came from the sense of purpose with regard to archaeological interpretation of that ‘how did the nation get created, and how was aspect of changes?’. This topic is linked to overall changes in fundamental view on history that Europe had changed the modern nation. While nationalism had a significant impact on archaeology, western modern nations set the academic fundaments of archaeology. Thus, in addition to formation of nation, archeological knowledge was accumulated. However, archaeology had developed in European countries since 19th century, and its aspects that had connection with real-politic vary from country to country. Therefore, in this study, by looking at development process of archaeology for each nation, we have discussed on when and how archaeology played political role during rising period for nationalism of modern nation, and how processes had been developed archaeology until now. As a result, we found that nation-states examined by archaeology have advanced under many measures – politics, propaganda, museum - that are able to connect to archaeology in the situation of formation of nation, the later territorial conflicts, and etc. European cases, focusing on Germany and Poland, have a strong tendency to provide identity for certain artifact or historical monuments and are considered important on account of the fact that territorial disputes meshing with World War I and II reflected many factors to form archaeological theories and methodologies under nationalistic elements. Of course, these are not a perfectly ethnic classification, but a classification of people who were living there at that time. Therefore, the role of archaeologists is to analyze and approach whether there are national boundaries or not.
