Answer 1

In the mid eighteenth century Europe there were no nation states as we know them today

Answer 2

In the 18th century, there were no nation-states in Europe as the advent of nationalism hadn't taken place on the continent.

• Nationalism began in Europe in the 19th century. This led to the rise of many nation-states like Italy and Germany.
• In the 18th century, both Italy and Germany were divided into various kingdoms, duchies, and principalities.
• Italy was unified under the leadership of Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia-Piedmont while Germany was unified under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck with Wilhelm I of Prussia as monarch.
• This rise of nationalism led to the formation of national identities based on history, culture, language, and iconography.
• The rise of nationalism also spelled the end of the multi-national dynasties like the Habsburgs which dominated Europe during the 18th century.
• The primary examples that show that there were no nation-states in Europe in the 18th century are Italy and Germany.
• Hence, in the 18th century, there were no nation-states in Europe as the advent of nationalism hadn't taken place on the continent.
