[Fragony]

No it wasn't, but Nation States have allowed for the industrialisation of killing.

Dear god CountArach do they teach you anything but marxism at your university?

Yes... I figured that myself. I do Ancient History - not much Marxism there.

Not true, and not true.

Nation-state is widely considered as a creation of the modern era, and as such, do not include feudal state, tribal groups and so on.

Alright then, how about the State in the sense of a person with authority ruling over others?

And we all know that people have been willing to kill themselves over a religious issue way before the modern era.

I think you're confusing state and nation here. Both are two really different notions.

I apologise. I know the difference, but often I use the term interchangably.
