The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind is a seminal work on crowd psychology by Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), a French social psychologist. He observes that a crowd forms when an influential idea unites a number of individuals and prompts them to act towards a common goal.

Furthermore, every sentiment becomes contagious to a degree that individuals readily sacrifice their personal interest to the collective.
