Nationalism and the Development of the Modern State
This three page paper examines why nationalism has been the primary force in the development of the modern state. In combination with other factors, it has produced profound changes, such as the remaking of the commercial and social worlds during the rise of Protestantism and the decline of hereditary monarchies. Nationalism brought wondrous technological advances, which enabled industrialized nation-states to achieve political and economic dominance, which in turn have brought wealth and global hegemony to them, especially over the past century.
