Question

The first great revolution which gave the clear idea of nationalism with its core words: ‘Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity’ was:



a The Russian Revolution

b The French Revolution

c Nationalism in India

d
India’s First War of Independence​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (b) The French Revolution.

Explanation:

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.
