14.4: World War I Ends

Journal:
The narrator, Paul Bäumer, and his friends join the army partly because of the nationalistic lectures of the teacher Kantorek. Nationalism was an extremely powerful force in Europe through the first half of the 20th century and played a part in causing both the First and Second World Wars. What effect has this had on modern politics?
