Question

How had revolutionaries spread their ideas in many european states after 1815?explain with examples.

Answer 1

1)After 1815,many liberal nationalists went underground for the fear of repression.For example-Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian revolutionary who founded two underground societies; first Young Italy in Marseilles and then Young Europe in Berne.Following in the footsteps of Mazzini, many secret societies were set up in Germany,France,Switzerland and Poland.
2)Romanticism was a cultural movement which sought to develop a particular form of nationalist sediment.The Romantics used folk songs, folk poetry and folk dances to popularize the true spirit of the nation.For eg: Karol Kurpinski celebrated the national struggle through this operas and music in Poland.He turned folk dances; like polanaise and mazurka into nationalist symbols.
3)Language also played an important role in developing nationalist sediments.For eg: It was mainly used as an instrument when Polish language was forced of schools and the Russian language was imposed everywhere in Poland.
