World Wars - Part 3: Unrest and Nationalism | Rabbi Ze'ev Sultanovitch

In the third installment of the series, Rabbi Ze'ev Sultanovitch explores the ideological forces that sparked the two World Wars. He focuses on the rise of modern nationalism, the quest for statehood among ethnic groups, and how national tensions ultimately dismantled historic empires.

The lecture covers definitions of ethnicity, the vast disparity between the number of ethnic groups and sovereign states, and modern European challenges related to immigration and political extremism, culminating in the outbreak of World War I.
