Ultranationalism In WWII

“Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind” (Albert Einstein). Around the time of the World Wars, different leaders used nationalism as a persuasive tool to gain absolute power. Many leaders were able to obtain power in America, China, and Germany and help the citizens restore pride and confidence in one's country. For example, President Woodrow Wilson of the United States used his vision for a democratic legislation and world peace to unite the Americans.

In this world the diversity and separation of race/culture is so high. It’s hard to think that we all came from one place one point in time. People came up with the idea to divide cultures and this has immediately caused many of troubles. With this diversity people start to hate where they came from and some people become proud of where they come from. Although pride for one country can be good many people have taken it to the extreme and this tends to have a negative effect on the way we treat people from other nations.

A nation lets one feel a strong sense of belonging in which they can truly express their existence. The pride that citizens have for their country is what gives them the strength to pursue their or their leaders’ desires. Another effect of nationalism is where society is brainwashed into doing what is wrong, such as a massacre to an innocent nation group. Due to this effect the society members cannot be blamed for an act considering they are only obeying their leader. They also cannot be blamed because they have a loyalty towards to their country and a duty in which they have to save their country from any sort of threats.

Nationalism is people in a nation feeling linked together through common ethnic culture,heritage and a shared language. All through history there are examples of nationalism , but nationalism was the most powerful idea in the 1800s. Europe was made up of many different groups of people with various ethnic backgrounds, nationalism led those groups of people to unite and govern themselves freely nationalist were not loyal to their kings but to those who shared common bonds.

Nationalism is defined as a patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts. In the 1800s Nationalism had causes and great effects on europe and Latin America. One cause being the want to have a greater nation. An effect could be a song or a mural done in honor of the nationalism in these great countries. Nationalism caused populations throughout Europe to unite in order to overthrow existing power structures and develop new ones based on liberty and national identity, the causes, for a greater nation as a whole.

The role of the federal government concerning domestic and foreign affairs was severely contested between the Federalist and Democratic-Republican political parties, which resulted in palpable animosity that permeated domestic politics and social discourses of the young republic. Additionally, socioeconomic factors endemic to the male immigrant-laden population of Baltimore City created an environment of frustration without readily available structures in place to facilitate relaxation. Last, an ineffectual local militia force led by headstrong and opinionated commanders was tasked with maintaining peace and order within the city and the surrounding county. These three aforementioned factors made Baltimore City vulnerable to social unrest and comprise the analytical points of investigation necessary for this paper. On June 18, 1812, just days after the American declaration of war on the British Empire, a mob of Democratic-Republican supporters destroyed a Federalist newspaper office, The Federal Republican, after the Federalist editors criticized

From the very beginning, Hitler and the Nazi Party had very clear ideas and objectives. They had two main aims, and in order to expand and dominate the diplomatic stage in Europe, they had to achieve these aims. Firstly, Hitler followed a revisionist policy, which was to ignore and end the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty severely limited Germany’s power, with territory loss and the creation of the Polish Corridor. Their army was reduced to 100,000 men, their navy and air force were restricted, Anschluss with Austria was forbidden and they had to pay reparations of a total of 6.6 billion pounds.

Although the holocaust is the most famous genocide in history, it was certainly not the only one. The first recorded genocide was Maori in 1835, although there were many before then with historian finding mass graves, that they believe to be the result of genocide as early as 1200 AD. Some aren’t even known to history as there is no record of their existed until years later when histories find a group of people that were suddenly erased from history, or when they find mass graves. All genocides are different but all have the same end goal/result, the majority; race, religion, class, wants to get rid of those they consider less than themselves. Hitler rose to power after the first world, the German government was weak and the people wanting

Nationalism was the most important by-product of the War of 1812. We believe we were the strongest country in the world. We saw ourselves as a great country, if not the best. America gained more land and expanded their boundaries. The growth of nationalism continued to grow throughout America.

Nationalism The rise in the spirit of nationalism led to many changes in Western Europe. You can trace this rise back to the American Revolution where the Americans established a country and kicked out the British colonialists. After viewing this uprising and playing a role in helping the Americans, the French were inspired to revolt in their own country. This along with many other factors eventually led to the French revolution in 1789. After the events of the French revolution and the toppling of the near absolutist monarchy, other nations in Europe also thought about standing up to the absolutist regimes in their countries.
