Say for example - Culture played an important role in creating the idea of the “nation” in Europe in the
following ways.

1 Romanticism, a cultural movement, sought to develop a particular form of
nationalist sentiment. It generally criticised the glorification of reason and Science
and focused instead on emotions, intuition and mystical feelings. Its effort was to
create a sense of a shared collective heritage, a common cultural past, as the basis
of a nation.
2 Collection and recording forms of folk culture was essential to the project of
nation-building. Karol Kurpinski, for example, celebrated the national struggle
through his operas and music, turning folk dances like the polonaise and mazurka
into nationalist symbols.

3 Language too played an important role in developing nationalist sentiments. After
Russian occupation, the Polish language was forced out of schools and the
Russian language was imposed everywhere. The use of Polish came to be seen as
a symbol of the struggle against Russian dominance.
