The Basic Gist
New patterns of nationalism starting towards the end of the age of imperialism shaped the world as we know it today. During the age of imperialism, many countries in Europe developed huge senses of national pride that led to the build up of their armies, colonies, and consequently WWI. After WWI and WWII, these countries imperial power lessened, affecting the countries that had been imperialized around the world. Also, during WWI Russia became the Soviet Union, a communist nation. Communism then arrived in China later, and from these two large countries spread until 1/3 of the world was communist. In 1989, after the long Cold War, the world saw much of communism fall with the Berlin Wall, and the world as it stands today was set in place.
