Would you be willing to die for your country?
We went out on the streets of Berlin to ask young people if they would be willing to die for their country. And if not - is there another reason for which they'd be willing to take that risk?
Fuat, 32, from Germany
"I wouldn’t die for my country because I wouldn't say that I have a country. My parents are from Turkey and I've grown up here, so I feel like neither is my country." People from western Europe are most reluctant to fight for their country: an average of 25% say they would do so - compared to a global average of 60%. In Turkey, 73% saying they would bear arms for their nation.
Iulia, 26, from Romania
"Not die. Maybe I'd be willing to take part in protests but that's all. The history of my country doesn't make me want something more. I don't think I could change anything even if I expressed my own opinion." Romania's population is more closely split - with just a few percentage points dividing those in favour (38%) from those against (41%), as the results of a 2014 Gallup poll show.
James, 27, a refugee from Cameroon
"I would be prepared to die for my country. I love my country. But due to the political situation you can't fight alone. What's in your mind is not what's in your neighbour's mind, that's the problem. I want to create change but you need many people to have the same idea, ideology, to move forward. I wouldn't be violent. We need to strike and demonstrate. Violence never solves problems."
Anonymous, from Germany
"I am anti-war - I'm at a demonstration to oppose the war in Ukraine. I refused to join Germany's army when I was called up during the war in Kosovo." In Germany, just 18% of people would fight for their country.
Soraya, 15, dual French-German nationality
"I’d be prepared to defend certain values but I don’t think that violence is a solution. I don’t think I would fight for my country. I don’t have one country that is my country. Also there are decisions that I don’t agree with. We are not always supported in the way we should be."
Emily, 30, from Canada
"I don’t know whether I would be willing to die for my country. It's a huge question and I've never really thought about it. I'm Canadian, so I've never really been put in a position like that. I think war in general is silly." In Canada 30% of people say they would be willing to fight in a war for their country.
For many lucky enough to live some distance from potential front lines, and in a country where the draft doesn't exist, it is difficult to fully grasp what mandatory military service can mean. These men and women may end up having to fight for their country. Are people even willing to do that anymore?
