Nationalism is a political ideology[1] that holds that a nation is the fundamental unit for human social life, and takes precedence over any other social and political principles. Nationalism typically makes certain political claims based upon this belief: above all, the claim that the nation is the only fully legitimate basis for a state, that each nation is entitled to its own state, and that the borders of the state should be congruent with the borders of the nation.[2] Nationalism refers to both a political doctrine[3] and any collective action[4] by political and social movements on behalf of specific nations. Nationalism has had an enormous influence upon world history, since the nation-state has become the dominant form of state organisation. Most of the world's population now lives in states which are, at least nominally, nation-states. Historians also use the term "nationalism" to refer to this historical transition, and to the emergence of nationalist ideology and movements.

"Nationalism ... is like cheap alcohol. First it makes you drunk, then it makes you blind, then it kills you"
humanity is greater than any nation, idea or believe. good men don't fight each other, they fight evil and evil can be in any shape or form.
