It's quite likely that they'll shun everything about nationalism.

I think they'll say that visions like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 were both prophesied and were basically realized. There's something clearly suspicious about the stability of borders of modern states, and this will be one of the most obvious things to future historians. I would expect a large focus on modern media and education system as a means of controlling people - with only really the internet shaking things up, which was also controlled, going into basically full lock-down by 2020.
