Ultranationalism

what causes ultranationalism?
how does ultranationalism develop?
how have people responded to ultranationalism?


Ultranationalism means the extreme devotion to or advocacy of the interests of a nation, especially regardless of the effect on any other nations. this meaning that during a time of the countries weakest point (most commonly), and in some way the nation is able to unite for a common cause or collective consciousness, to achieve a certain goal however this can affect other nations like the jewish people during WWII, but because of the great sense of Ultranationalism they are blinded to what is really going on.
Ultranationalism develops in many way it is most commonly developed through political and financial unrest throughout a nation, an example of this was when Germany was just coming out of their great depression, Hitler used the little bit of hatred that germany still had against the other nations to unite the people to His own cause and start WWII.

people have responded to ultranationalism in many ways, but really it depends on which side your on, in the united states they were worried that the sudden nationalism was becoming Ultranationalism and germany was plotting to achieve another W, but on the other side in germany it united the people, it brought poeple to believe in their country and try to strive to once again get germany back on top and become a world leader. However this in the end backfired and brought germany down even further than it was.
