This can serve as a unifying force and, in this case, it had a major socio-political impact and contributed to the development of a new national identity through establishing national icons.

Held together by nationalism, countries were introduced to the different cultures of the west. However, Japan’s adaptation of a different culture originates from their beginning, when they took in new technology from Southeast China and Korea, such as iron and rice farming. When western forces come in for trade, the Western and European Imperialism will push Japan for its industrialisation and militarisation, eventually leading them to become an imperial force, beginning with the introduction of guns from Europe, and leading to the Meiji restoration, the temporary positive effect of European Imperialism allowed

Nationalism is the ideology based on the foundation that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the selected nation is more important than other individual or group interests. There are many things that people are able to relate to and identify as being that can include; their culture, homeland, family, and/or religion. There is naturally a strong loyalty towards the place people were raised. However, that tends to bring enemies too because not everyone is born in the same place and it tends to bring competition on which place it better bringing rift to all around. Even though with all of the negatives that come with strong nationalism, I believe nationalism brings more good than bad in Europe, Japan, Russia, the United States.

However, nationalism does not have one single definition, its meaning has evolved as society changes and modernises.

Nationalism has played a crucial role in world history over the past centuries. It continues to do so today.

Nationalism at its core is the support of a country. The goal of a country is to have some sort of resonance within the individuals that reside there that call themselves citizens. If the citizens don’t feel any connection with their country, they may move to find one that they feel closer too.

This papers purpose is to illustrate the pros of nationalism as well as its cons.

Nationalism is a powerful force that can unite people working towards a common goal, but when it is taken to the extreme it can cause major disharmony in society, evident in the numerous genocides during the Age of Imperialism, the Fascist party's rise to power, and the Japanese’s unwillingness to surrender during World War II. Nationalism is dangerous, because it warps the minds of the individuals in the organization, creates prejudice and discrimination, and can be easily manipulated into a weapon against humanity.
