Unit 4 Nationalism: From Concert to Competition












A big Nationalism sign
RECAP





Nationalism was a great big movement that began in Europe in the 19th century to the 20th century. It was a feeling of pride in one's country. It started out as people respecting other's differences as if Europe was a big orchestra, but soon it lead to a competition to see who was the better country.



REVIEW



My group did the Nationalism story of Bloody Sunday in Mother Russia. The workers are not content, so they peacefully march to the czar to see if he would make conditions better for them, but instead he told his guards to shoot them all. Not very nice if you ask me. Another group did the whole conquering scheme of Bismark in Germany, with his alliance with Austria and his conquering of France and other small European countries, and soon his betrayal of Austria. Weird, they are both bloody and someone gets betrayed, imagine that!

REFLECT & RE-INVENT

I think that Nationalism is OK if it's not over done. Be proud in your country, but don't go dissing every other country. Keeping that whole concert idea in mind instead of competing sounds like a good idea. Nationalism is all right as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
