It is hypothesized that there are causes of militant nationalism specific to the historical time and region. Specifically, 4 hypotheses are offered: (a) Because nationalism was virtually outlawed under communism, it went underground, and in the former satellite nations it emerged from something like a deep freeze reconstituted in its 1940s form; (b) because communist ideology was paranoid, the stage was set for a new content to fit into the same mold, and militant nationalism happened to be a beautiful fit; (c) the fall of communism brought about an identity crisis in many individuals, and a chauvinistic national identity filled the vacuum; and (d) a high incidence of victimization in the region's population was also conducive to making militant nationalism attractive. The hypotheses are supported by examples. Finally, some psychoeducational models are presented, which are designed to counteract prejudice and thereby extreme nationalism, along with some economic models that foster cross-national cooperation
