I finished off the "Allied Victory in WWI and Paris Peace Conference" PowerPoint presentation today. I have sent this presentation to you, so please print it off and add it to your notes. I also gave you a handout on the issue of responsibility for starting WWI. I also gave you a focus task to complete from a booklet called "Making Peace" which looked at the various perspectives of the "Big Three" at the Paris Peace Conference. Your WWI Map Assignment was due today. If it is late you will lose 10% per day. You got the results of your Chapter 3-4 Test today as well.

Hi there,
I'm a social 20 student, and though I'm not in your class I've used your blog to help me with my homework and have found it very helpful.
I'm currently stuck on a question. Please help me out...? What are three examples of contending nationalist loyalties (in different countries) that are creating conflict between people?
Thanks!

I don't usually do this, but it's a slow night...
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I'll take a stab at this for you. Remember that contending nationalist loyalties means "loyalty to nation A vs. loyalty to nation B". Now, I teach my students that this could be around the issue of dual citizenship (having citizenship in more than one nation-state) could be an example of contending nationalist loyalties. Another example might be one that is outlined in the Exploring Nationalism textbook and that is if you were born in a different country (or your family has very close ties to another country) and then you became a Canadian citizen, you may view yourself as a "hyphenated Canadian" (Chinese-Canadian, for example). When it comes to sporting events (World Cup, the Olympics), which coutnry would you cheer for? Or worse, what if the two countries were at war, which country would you support in the war? In your questions, you asked for three examples, but I'm not sure if you're looking for case studies of actual contending nationalist loyalties in the world today, or even historical examples. Some of the examples I've given already might help. Alternatively, here are a few other examples of contending nationalist loyalties:
1. loyalty to Quebecois/Quebec nation versus loyalty to Canada (connects to Quebec nationalism, separatist movement in Quebec, and even the conscription crisis in WWI)
2. loyalty to First Nations versus loyalty to Canada (look into attempts to ammend the Canadian constitution, like the Meech Lake Accord; ultimately it is blocked in the Manitoba Legislature by Elijah Harper, a First Nations MLA who was protesting the lack of inclusion of First Nations in the Meech Lake Accord)
3. dual citizenship issue (as mentioned earlier): loyalty to nation "X" vs. loyalty to Canada
I hope this helps!
Thank you very much for replying. Your answer helped me very much.
