Answer:
Explanation:
1830 to 1848 is rightly referred to as the age of revolution
because it was during this period that the world witnessed the rise of liberal
nationalism that stood in opposition to conservative regimes across Europe.
Liberal nationalism is an idea where the Government is based
on the free will of the people. This was first demand in France and is known as
the French Revolution. During this time, in France, the liberal revolutionaries
fought to overthrow the conservative regime to establish constitutional
monarchy and then the Republic. This led to the revolution spreading to other
countries of Europe too. Greece for example was one such country where the
nationalist movement culminated in the Independence of Greece. That is why the
period is rightly called the Age of Revolution.
