First, when Nazism came into power, Germany, was in a time of peril and they needed someone to remove that fear. When people don't know where to turn in there government they look for change, and Hitler was offering that change. After Hitler gave the change needed in a positive light he ruled Nazism by instilling fear into his people through his speeches and the fear of death. If Hitler did not like you then you didn't live. So I would not necessarily say that nationalism during Nazism was a negative thing. The consequences happened to be negative.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438988502574220984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179708735520151974.post-30913243618157168412009-10-15T23:35:42.988-04:002009-10-15T23:35:42.988-04:00It's hard to say if nationalism impacted our w...It's hard to say if nationalism impacted our world positively or negatively, and this question could quickly spiral into a philosophical question, but I think that there are definitely obvious negatives associated with nationalism: Nazism, Cold War (and simply war in general), economic greed and exploitation, imperialism, militarism... But like you said, it has brought great inventions: the internet is enough to stand in a list by itself.<br /><br />It's still hard to say whether or not inventions could be made without some special reason, that being, for your country.<br /><br />Put simply, I (and who wouldn't?) think it would be better if everyone could get along... regardless of nationalism.Stefan Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240199419165940929noreply@blogger.com
