Adopt Concept of a Nation • In order to achieve these goals the imperialist industrial community needs to adopt a broader view of itself in relation to the world. • Affiliations need to be transformed from small regional/parochial to a larger community. • The nation. • Thus the adoption of a national affiliation, nationalism, and the belief of national superiority are important factors necessary to fuel the drive towards conquest of other territories.
