Well. Are these statements true?
Let MEP Daniel Hannan answer for us:
"In fact, the main cause of war in modern times has been trans-national ideologies: Jacobinism, Communism, Fascism – now Islamism. In each of these cases, patriotic loyalties have been a focus of resistance against tyranny. Where nationalism has caused conflict, it has usually been the nationalism of a people denied self-determination within a supra-national state – precisely such a state as the EU is becoming."
