Although nationalism can be good within a country, it may also be harmful, causing many major foreign problems leading to wars and discrimination towards members of different national groups. Analyzing World War I, this form of nationalism was a significantly important cause. Countries such as Germany believed they were the best therefore they must have the best leading to many problems with countries all over Europe. Nationalism always ends in the exploitation of groups. This is well illustrated in the Holocaust. In conclusion nationalism benefits societies when it is not over done. But that’s the issue, most of the time it is overdone.
