Rise of Nationalism in Europe
Rise of Nationalism in Europe
Before the middle of the nineteenth century, European countries were not in the form we know them today.
Different regions of Europe were ruled by different types of hereditary kingdoms. All these were monarchical rulers who used to have complete control over their subjects.
There were many such changes in technology during that period, due to which the changes in the society gave rise to the feeling of nationalism.
With the French Revolution starting in 1789, the process of building new nations had also started. But it took almost a hundred years for this new ideology to take root.
As a result of this, France was formed as a democratic country.
This trend continued in other parts of Europe as well, and by the beginning of the twentieth century, modern democratic systems were established in many parts of the world.
