3. How does Nationalism contribute to building a powerful nation - state?
Answers
Explanation:
It is often the other way around. A powerful nation-state is build on a good working economy in which the people see the benefits of the nation. The benefits of the nation later can lead to a desire to be independent when taxes are spent to purposes which contribute not to the people who live in the nation like a war. This desire to be independent is later justified by all kind of soft arguments like freedom of religion, historical backgrounds and myths. And those soft arguments lead later on to the feeling of being part of a nation to be proud of.
