Question
Justify the statement with suitable example that, "Nationalism, aligned with imperialism, led Europe to disaster in 1914."

Answer

It can be said that nationalism, aligned with imperialism, led Europe to disaster in 1914, because of the following reasons:
i. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, nationalism no longer retained its idealistic liberal democratic sentiment of the first half of the century but became a narrow creed with limited ends.
ii. Nationalism aligned with imperialism led Europe to disaster in 1914. But, many countries in the world which were colonised were in a very bad shape.
iii. During the period an intense rivalry among the European powers emerged over trade and colonies as well as naval and military might. This led to a series of wars in the region and final the First World War.
