A country would not be considered a country without any supporters and believers. Nationalism, doesn’t just run in the country, it is the country. We can learn from nationalism that a nation can reach its full potential if the majority of the people care about their nation. A great example nationalism at its finest would definitely be Nazi Germany. Never have we seen so many men in a country joining the military so willingly; that is because they love and take pride in Germany. Of course, party of this uprising was due to Hitler emphasizing on how Germany is being bullied and oppressed by neighboring European nations.
I believe that nationalism is not just good, it is mandatory and fundamental for the survival of a sovereign country. Nationalism might not be shown by everyone, but deep inside we all care about our nation. For example, the people would probably not enlist to join the military unless the country is being invaded. In Nazi Germany’s case, the people were simply being starved by their neighboring countries literally. This creates nationalism within an extremely large amount of people, leading to WW2 as we know it.
