During 19th century, nationalism emerged as a force which led the emergence of the nation-state in place of multinational dynastic empires of Europe. The French Revolution (1789) paved the way for modern nation-state. French Revolution questioned the old monarchical order and encouraged the development of a popular nationalism.

To emphasise the nation as a united community the French Revolution introduced new ideas like la patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) and a new French flag amongst the French people. It introduced a centralised administrative system with uniform law for all citizens. Regional dialects were discouraged and French as spoken and written in Paris was accepted as a common language of the country.
