Nationalism and Indepence?
What are/were the key elements or features of the nationalist vision? Why was there a desire for increased nationalism? How have the people attempted to assert their nationalist vision? General answers would be appreciated, but if you would like to answer using a nation/independent country, please use India, because that is what I am researching on. Thanks!
If nationalism is dangerous, why is it still promoted?
Many things go (or are sold) under the label of nationalism or patriotism, mostly by politicians lacking any useful idea to contribute, but also by people who feel lost in the emerging global community. For example, the word "patriot" is now usually used to cover a combination of xenophobia (sometime murderous - Anders Behring Breivik claims that his motivation for massacre was patriotism), far right-wing political ideology and simultaneous distrust of government (unless it is extreme right enough) and of proponents of civil liberties. I cannot be more remote from that mindframe than I am, but I still consider myself a patriot. I like my language (Croatian), I am proud of what little my small country has to show, I am angry at the way it is mismanaged, and I can argue endlessly with Slovenian neighbors is Nut roll correctly called Orahnjača or Potica. But I am also an Europhile and, for the lack of a better word, a citizen of the world. I not only don't resent a large Chinese family next door, I am kind of proud that they chose my backwater to try and make their new home in.Nationalism is useful when it serves to preserve our own values; it is harmful when it does so at the exclusion of others.
What would be the negative consequences of world peace?
The moment we’re born we intellectually absorb the world around us. We have no choice but to.We learn our nation’s languages, we’re indoctrinated into our parents’ religions, we dress like our friends, think like our teachers, and go about our day like the people around us. Everything we do is derivative.Thus the question arises, where on Earth can originality be found?The answer’s simple - originality can be found in environments uninfluenced by ordinary thinking. And originality can be found in people who’ve been raised on ideas different from everyone else’s. Originality hinges not on what it is, but on what it’s not - it’s not like everything else. Thus once world peace is attained we have a problem.“World peace,” on its surface, simply means that the people of the world have agreed to live together peacefully. Scratch the surface and it also means that the people of the world have a means of global communication.By being completely globally connected, and peacefully at that, we will actually be too well connected to each other to come up with any original ideas, ever. All connected, everything will be affected by everything else. Every idea will be derivative of another, echoic of the whole, and plagiarized. It won’t have a choice but to be. Just look at the disappearance of specific genres in music.Once we attain world peace original thinking will die out. World peace might be better though.

How did Balkman nationalism contribute to the decline of the Ottoman Empire ?
Balkan nationalism reduced tax revenues and increased necessary expenditures to keep the area under control (troops, courts, bribes, etc). It also allowed the European powers to begin exerting power in the area, which further destabilsed the Ottomans. Finally, it was Serbian Nationalists who provided the spark which created WWI, which destroyed the Ottoman Empire as a functioning entity.
