Nationalism Gone Bad.....
Throughout human history, there has always been conflict over territory, trade routes, and being considered a "super power" nation. Many ethnic groups use their culture as a catalyst for conflict due to many differences in cultural customs and traits. Nationalism can create a sense of cultural pride, but some ethnic groups resolve cultural differences through conflicts and genocide.
The main reasons why ethnicities clash are:
1. Ethnic competition to dominate nationality
2. Overlapping of ethnicities and nationalities within a territory
3. Ethnic Cleansing
As globalization and geopolitics become more complex, ethnic conflicts will become increasingly more violent. Many ethnic conflicts result in ethnic cleansing or genocide of a group of people. The worst genocide in human history happened in Europe during World War II 1939-1945.
