Opinion statements are what you (or somebody) thinks. For example, my opinion is that Fritos are the best kind of chips. A propaganda statement is trying to make people have a certain mindset about something. For example, "Uncle Sam Wants YOU to join the Marines.. etc"
In 1750-1900 countries were going through periods of rapid industrialization because of the industrial revolution. this industrialization brought on mass production of weaponry and goods which lead countries to participate in an arms race against one another to see who has the superior weapons, machinery, and resources. this constant competition echoed out culturally and socially too, hence the origin of nationalism.
