Made Nationalistic countries such as Germany think
they were the best and want an empire and a 'place
in the sun'
Links in with Imperialism and Militarism because without nationalism
nationalistic countries wouldn't have wanted empires (Imperialism) and
therefore wouldn't have wanted to expand their armies (Militarism)
Without Nationalism there wouldn't have been
so many crises' and tensions between countries
because they were trying to conquer empires.
For example the Moroccan revolution in 1911 when Germany attacked France through Morocco helped to cause war
(because of nationalism) because it increased tensions and distrust between both countries and therefore made war
more likely to spark off.
Made War more likely because it increased tension within
and between countries (e.g assassination of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand 1914 and Morrocan revolution 1911) and therefore
made War more likely to spark off.
In countries with many different
nationalistic races it increased
tensions between different
nationalistic groups and this not only
caused unrest within the country and
made civil War more likely but it also
meant that other neighbouring
countries wanted to come in and
take action and this caused and
tensions and unrest and made war
more likely
For example in Austria-Hungary in 1914 when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian nationalists, it caused unrest
