Nationalism is not an old war. It came into being because monarchies were collapsing in Europe and people were afraid that in the absence of a royal dynasty mediating between the heavens and the earth no one could retain the allegiance of the people towards the State. This nationalism had a different kind of demand from the people: first of all it demanded to prioritise the nation over all other values.
