Detailed explanation-1: -Military over-confidence Nationalism was closely linked to militarism. It fostered delusions about the relative military strength of European nations. Many living in the Great Powers considered their nations to be militarily superior and better equipped to win a future war in Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -This nationalism influenced nation states to fight in a war to show their pride and patriotism in the world wars.
Detailed explanation-3: -The outcome of the war helped fuel a nascent sense of nationalism in many Americans. They began to think about what it meant to be American. Instead of identifying themselves as Marylanders, Virginians, or citizens of other states where they lived, people began to think of themselves first as Americans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nationalism not only induces wars but, through the severity of its influence, makes compromise and acceptance of defeat more difficult. It thus tends to prolong the duration and increase the severity of wars.
