Is nationalism a positive or negative force as seen in world history from the 17th to 20th century?

Negative. Nationalism is defined loyalty and devotion to a nation or ethnic group that places emphasis on promoting the interests, cultural and social values, or religion of one group above all others. This is a bad thing as WW1%26amp;2 were started as people cared more about there countries than people as a whole. If we all cared about just our countries lots of people would starve and die, people would have unspeakable things done to them. eg the East Timorese would have been massacred or turned to slaves if peace keepers had only been concerned with there own country.
