Culture played an important role in creating the idea of a nation in Europe in the following ways.

1. Art, music, literature and drama helped to express, shape and strengthen nationalist sentiments.

2. Romantics like the German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder held the view that true German culture could be discovered only among the common people, the das volk.

3.Glorification of reason and science was criticised by the romantic artists, rather they favoured emotions, intuitions and mystical feelings.

4.Language too boosted nationalism. The Polish people opposed the Russian occupation and the ban on Polish language, by using it in the Church gathering for all religious ceremonies and for religious instruction. The Polish language became a weapon of the nationalists.

5.Two Germans, Grimm Brothers, used stories and folktales written in German to promote the German spirit against the domination of the French.

6.Operas and music, like that of Karol Kurpinski, kept alive the national spirit.

7.Folk dances like the polonaise and mazurki became national symbols.
