Please read the slides. I have uploaded a “Before and After” set of readings for nationalism. The 19th century poem, “To My Motherland,” by a famous Russian poet, gently celebrates his motherland. It’s a good example of how 19th century nationalism was often focused on admiring the nation, rather than hating the opponent. The other readings are from more modern nationalists. Paul Hindenberg was a WWI German general and nationalist politician after WWI; he helped to create the “Stab in the Back” explanation for why Germany lost WWI. It was a lie, of course, but tried to blame Germany’s defeat on others. I have also given you an excerpt from one of Ernst Juenger’s most famous books, along with two readings by British nationalists. Please read all of these, and then post on one or more readings
