Prompt: Analyze the political effects of nationalism in the 20th century.
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

During the 19th century till date, nationalism became ome of the most significant political and social forces in history; it is typically listed among the top causes of World War 1. Nationalism, seeks to preserve a nation's culture and is closely linked to patriotism

It is also a sentiment of loyalty toward the nation which is shared by the people. But, like modern students of international relations, they argue that it has been one of the most important forces shaping international politics.

It seems to identify a behavioral entity. It has been an important driver in Independence movements around the world such as the Irish Revolution and Greek Revolution.

It was also a key factor in the establishment of the Confederate States of America, whose stated objective was preservation of the white supremacy. Also in the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany.

Lastly, nationalism became an important driver of the controversial annexation of Crimea by Russia. Nationalist economic policies have also been cited as a cause of the Opuim Wars between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty.
