During the 19th century, the end results of nationalism were the following:
- It became a belief system with a narrow creed, i.e., not discriminating on the basis of creed or race.
- As a result of nationalism, nationalist groups became uncontrollable and were always ready to wage war.
As a result, the European powers took advantage of the situation and manipulated the nationalists in Europe to achieve their own imperialist aims.
