Religion. The pull of nationalism has oscillated over the centuries, religious fanaticism has always remained strong.
P.S. Great question!

The underlying cause is always power greed.
The way to get the armies together and keep them fighting includes both nationalism (not always blind) and religious fanaticism but also force from the rulers.

Religion - The less religion and more spiritual the less need for conflict
but Nationalism has a religious fervour

Power, land, financial gain & religion...not in that order.
I don't think it is blind nationalism as many wars are nationally internal war; race wars, north and south wars.

I would have to say religious fanatacism. Look at the war going on now. Even though they don't say it, it still has undertones of religion. Bush wouldn't dare attack someone that's Christian, but it's okay because they are Muslim.

Religion is part of nationalism.
The bloodiest wars occured and were raised by nationalism (i.e. WWI, WWII). However, a number of wars were raised for stupid ethnic reasons (i.e. the genocides of several african nations) and more commonly for land (i.e. The Mexican-American War, French and Indian War, and many revolutions and civil wars).

Let me give you a hint, what did the WTC hijackers scream when they went into the WTC...."god is great", so what does that tell you. Or shall we start with the inquisitions and work our way forward?
