Nationalism was dangerous in World War I primarily because it was significant in why war broke out in the first place. Through the ideologies that characterize what nationalism is, European countries became ethnocentric in believing that their country was superior to all others and would be victorious against anyone in war.
The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 was due to a combination of causes which were both long-term and short-term: alliances, militarism, imperialism,nationalism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. ... Alliances also helped to spread and escalate the war.
The three causes of the war were the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, widespread militarism and economic imperialism.

nationalism & imperialism :)
Latin American nationalism compared to German nationalism was like comparing night and day. Latin American nationalism was disorganized and didn't have a common goal or purpose, as opposed to the German nationalism. German nationalism was to promote German supremacy and world control.
The Human factor
The rise of nationalism led to the first World War because nations and the people in them wanted to fight for and protect their own countries. Nationalism is what led the Austrian's to declare war when Archduke Ferdinand was killed.
Nationalism was the most important cause of ww1 this is because the war was made to show which country was the best. ''Austria was afraid of it's empire breaking up, Which would lead it to losing it's power'' Therefore, it is clear that nationalism was the most important cause of ww1 as the countries wouldn't of gone to war if they did not want to show that they were the best. Nationalism is more important than imperialism (Next paragraph) because none of this would've occurred if nationalism wasn't there.
Nationalism, patriotism, militarism, the alliances between countries and the assassination f Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
I presume you ask this regarding the First world war. In which case some historians argue that nationalism was the cause for imperialism. they argue that countries loved themselves so much they would colonise in many other countries. An example of this is German occupation of colonies surrounding south Africa in the early 1900s putting Britain on edge and being a cause for the first world war.

Nationalism was important because it was the reason why World War 1 started. If the Serb terrorists had not killed Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand Austria would have never declared war on Serbia. The reason why the Serb terrorists who were members of the Black Hand killed Franz Ferdinand was because they did not like an Austrian ruler ruling a Serb country thus making an act of nationalism.
