Here's an answer from the University of California, Irvine:
"During the era of Imperialism (1800s- WWI 1914), industrial nations expanded their power and influence to include overseas territories. This drive for greater power and influence created competition between many European nations. This competition was a driving force for European countries to build up arms, develop new technology and to create alliances. It is in this time period that leaders of Industrial nations utilized nationalism. (Nationalism is the belief that people should be loyal to their nation.) Leaders used nationalism to support their entry in war."
