Nationalism was (and has always been) a very important part of unify a nations populace for a common goal or agenda. This can be scene in the likes of Nazi Germany in a negative use or in India during the 20th century during the time of Gandhi.

Nationalism or instilling in a people a sense of national pride or identity would have been especially useful during the 19th century because of the expansion of many of the European powers, and their Imperialism.
