America is protected by the blood of soldiers that give up their lives so that we may be free. General John Mattis of the United States Marine Corps once said “ you signed blank checks payable…

When looking at nationalism's effect on Europe it is obvious it had a major impact on the political landscape of Europe. In some cases it fueled revolutions and in other cases the ideal itself was its own undoing.
