Nationalism is where a person is so devoted to their country so much that they believe that there country should be the ruling country. Nationalism is important because if there is not enough the country can fall apart easily. If there is too much nationalism, imperialism can easily take effect. This can be shown by WW1 with the French and the Germans. These are exhibited by Russia and Germany in both too much and to little nationalism. Nationalism is good in the right amount but can be destructive to a country if unproportional. When Russia had too little nationalism the people revolted and took control. When Germany had too much in WW1 there were willing to send 15 year old boys into war. During WW2 the japanese displayed a tremendous amount
Another thing that played a part in nationalism was a nation's global status because the better the status the “better” you were. Alliances are between different countries, saying that if they go to war with a certain country, will you join me in fighting? They do this because just having a big military isn’t

- Nationalism: the devotion to the culture of one’s nation, the belief that nations will benefit from acting independently (nationally) rather than collectively (internationally)
Nationalism is the ideology based on the foundation that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the selected nation is more important than other individual or group interests. There are many things that people are able to relate to and identify as being that can include; their culture, homeland, family, and/or religion. There is naturally a strong loyalty towards the place people were raised. However, that tends to bring enemies too because not everyone is born in the same place and it tends to bring competition on which place it better bringing rift to all around. Even though with all of the negatives that come with strong nationalism, I believe nationalism brings more good than bad in Europe, Japan, Russia, the United States.
Nationalism has been extremely important and influential in shaping the modern world we see today, causing revolutions, rebellions and the constant reshaping of world maps continuing even today. Its appeal is something that I don’t believe will diminish in the future. Many theologians and political commentators alike agree that Nationalism has perhaps been one of the most prominent political ideologies of the modern world “No single political doctrine has played a more prominent role in shaping the face of the modern world than nationalism” 1, and doesn’t look like ceasing to be as influential anytime
Nationalism is way of thinking both political and socially to create a community united by: history, ethnicity, religions, common culture, and language. Numerous effects occurred while establishing a Nationalist community, some effects were a long term impact on Nationalism, and other was short term impacts on Nationalism.
Nationalism was formed with the idea that a nation is made up of people who are joined together by common language, customs, cultures and history. It held the belief that one should be loyal to the people of their nation, not a king or empire. Nationalists believed that people of a single nationality should unite under a single government. The concept of Nationalism emerged in the French Revolution and was spread to the rest of Europe by Napoleon’s conquests.
Nationalism is the ability to express one’s belief, voice and perspective pertaining to their nation. I believe that there are positive aspects of taking nationalism in your country. How in Canada; has a nice balance. They’re proud of their country and part of that prides come from their ethics and sense of decency. The three important aspects of nationalism are, a common bond with countries around the world, source of unity and create a distinct identity.
The concept of nationalism is in essence an odd organization that has had significant impacts in world history through shaping the political and social aspects of the society. As an important aspect in the development of the society, the concept of nationalism has basically been analyzed based on its impact on the emergence of nation-states across the globe. In most cases, these analyses have been conducted to determine the influence of nationalism on imperial breakdown i.e. the dissolution of empires. While the actual extent of the impact of nationalism on the imperial breakdown is uncertain, this concept has played a major role in the dissolution of empires. Generally, the transition to nationalism has contributed to significant effects in world history through shaping the political and social aspects of the society.

There is a downside Nationalism can as method to evoke fear. The biggest negative is that most nationalism movement’s inevitably led to some form of conflict. Nationalism is a dangerous movement that can lead to oppression of opposition groups and lead to conflicts.
By looking at the examples, If the nationalism does not take the revolutionary form, it is a good thing. It will help in resolving international battles. Unity and peace will be established and mutual friendliness and co-operation will be better. Basically it’s the intention of the Nationalist leaders, Selfishness leads bad to their nation. If Nationalist leaders have positive aim and goals towards their nation, definitely it’s a good sign for their nation. In the end it will help country to develop its economy, harmony and to unite the

Without nationals on people could live in a world together and

The term Nationalism is mainly used to interpret two thoughts, the emotion or feeling that the population of a nation have when they take notice about their countries identity and who they are, or the actions and words that the population of a country take when seeking to
Nationalism is a powerful force that can unite people working towards a common goal, but when it is taken to the extreme it can cause major disharmony in society, evident in the numerous genocides during the Age of Imperialism, the Fascist party's rise to power, and the Japanese’s unwillingness to surrender during World War II. Nationalism is dangerous, because it warps the minds of the individuals in the organization, creates prejudice and discrimination, and can be easily manipulated into a weapon against humanity.
