Nationalism is the love for ones country.
Nationalism is the love for ones country the people of that country believe that their country is the best country in the world and that there is no other country better than theirs. The press in the early 1900s printed Jingoistic stories which made their country look like a alpha country. Nationalism gave many nations the insurance that if any country wanted to go to war that their country could win. Britain believed that their navy would protect them if there was a time of war. Russia believed that they had god and their military force were protecting them. Lovesick Nationalism sparked the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
