.............plz mark best answer...............

The rise of nationalism and nation states played an important role in the unification of politically fragmented regions but equally it was a cause for World Wars as well. With the passage of time nationalism became aggressive which created a pride among the people of a country and simultaneously hatred towards another country. A nation in Europe used to believe that they alone are right and they could win any conflict with their military might.

Any insult to a nation was not tolerated and every country used to believe to overpower the other. An overpowered country was busy in thinking of revenge. We see,the ulta-nationalism in France and Germany created by Mussolini and Hitler was the main cause of World War II. So in short, we can say that the idea of nation-states and nationalism influence desire of war during World Wars.
