What is capitalism? What is nationalism? How could American capitalism and nationalism have motivated the United States to go to war?

Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Nationalism is identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. American capitalism and nationalism could motivate the United States to go to war by inspiring American to go to war and defend their country.

I think that’s right I’m not sure tho

I know what nationalism is it putting your country over everything something like patriotism but why worse

Italy had political stability, wealth, and trade.
