Answer:

Evil, usually.

Step-by-step explanation:

When people think of nationalism they think of Nazi Germany and Japan and Fascist Italy, and these places all thought themselves superior to everyone. During WW2 All of these countries committed atrocities, such as the holocaust. Although nationalism can lead to patriots fighting for their country in times of war, which is good depending on who you ask.

Please note that all sides committed atrocities during WW2

Answer:

This is a very controversial and debatable question... However, it must be understood that Nationalism like many other ideologies is made and constructed by people who all believe that they are doing good by pursuing their ideological goals. Nationalism is the deep pride that one has for their nation of birth or of ancestorial lineage, and many times has this ideology lead to destructive and deadly conflicts that the world still feels today.

Hope I helped!
