Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman are all well known heroes around the world. However, one hero catches my eye, Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was a German business man and apart of the Nazi Party for his benefit–not for their beliefs. This proves that anyone can really be a hero.

Nationalism rings loud in the crowds of people protesting for freedom and unification, but two times in history these individual acts would lead to world fighting. Militarism, imperialism, and nationalism would lead to the First and Second World Wars. Militarism is the predominance of the military class or the…
