Question

how the symbol of Nationalism in Europe used to spread the feeling of nationalism

Answer 1

Answer:The first clear expression of nationalism came with

the French Revolution in 1789. France, as you

would remember, was a full-fledged territorial state

in 1789 under the rule of an absolute monarch.

The political and constitutional changes that came

in the wake of the French Revolution led to the

transfer of sovereignty from the monarchy to a

body of French citizens. The revolution proclaimed

that it was the people who would henceforth

constitute the nation and shape its destiny.

From the very beginning, the French revolutionaries

introduced various measures and practices that

could create a sense of collective identity amongst

the French people. The ideas of la patrie (the

fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasised

the notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a

constitution. A new French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replace

the former royal standard. The Estates General was elected by the

body of active citizens and renamed the National Assembly. New

hymns were composed, oaths taken and martyrs commemorated,

all in the name of the nation. A centralised administrative system

was put in place and it formulated uniform laws for all citizens

within its territory. Internal customs duties and dues were abolished

and a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted.

Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it was spoken

and written in Paris, became the common language of the nation.

The revolutionaries further declared that it was the mission and the

destiny of the French nation to liberate the peoples of Europe

from despotism, in other words to help other peoples of Europe

to become nations.

When the news of the events in France reached the different cities

of Europe, students and other members of educated middle classes

began setting up Jacobin clubs. Their activities and campaigns

prepared the way for the French armies which moved into Holland,

Belgium, Switzerland and much of Italy in the 1790s. With the

outbreak of the revolutionary wars, the French armies began to

carry the idea of nationalism abroad.
