Nationalism caused World War I and World War II. World War II happened because Hitler could not stand losing the first great war to France.
It’s been said history repeats itself. World War III could happen because Russian President Vladmir Putin can’t stand the reality of a broken-up Soviet Union. He’s got his eyes set on Ukraine for takeover by war, which could cause a cascading effect through Europe.
What is nationalism, really? Nationalism is “a feeling that people have of being loyal to and proud of their country often with the belief that it is better and more important than other countries.”
