Thus the whole country was broken into many shreds and patches of sovereignty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All the nations they had to deal with, had the same fate.
Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin.
It turned out that the country was helpless in the face of a new reality.
We are now physically, politically, and economically one world and nations so interdependent that the absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible.
History shows that, more often than not, loss of sovereignty leads to liberalisation imposed in the interests of the powerful.
You see, another reason for nationalization was that private ownership meant fragmentation.
No nation was ever ruined by trade.
Nations sometimes flourish by denying the crimes that brought them into being. Only when the original invasion, occupation, extermination or usurpation has been safely thrust into the political unconscious can sovereignty feel secure.
The dissolution of the nation destroys the national religion, and dethrones the national deity.
We're not a nation divided: we're a nation broken, and anything broken can be fixed.
