Question

- the Tyrol, Austria and the Sudetenland - as well as Bohemia,
where the aristocracy was predominantly German-speaking. It also
included the Italian-speaking provinces of Lombardy and Venetia.
In Hungary, half of the population spoke Magyar while the other
half spoke a variety of dialects. In Galicia, the aristocracy spoke
Polish. Besides these three dominant groups, there also lived within
the boundaries of the empire, a mass of subject peasant peoples -
Bohemians and Slovaks to the north, Slovenes in Carniola, Croats
to the south, and Roumans to the east in Transylvania. Such
differences did not easily promote a sense of political unity. The
only tie binding these diverse groups together was a common
allegiance to the emperor.

Answer 1

Answer:

First we will write about the classification and existence of different kinds of groups and people as mentioned in this paragraph.

The idea of nationalism and nation-state emerge in the following ways:-

(i) Nationalism and the idea of the nation state emerged within the culturally and regionally diverse groups of Europe as mentioned above.

(ii) Due to industrialisation and transformation of society, there emerged a middle-class consisting of businessmen, working professionals, industrialists, labourers and working class people.  

(iii) Industrialisation began in England in second half of the 18th century but in France and German states it occurred only during 19th century. In its wake, new social groups came into being.  

(iv) Out of these, the educated middle-class people thought of uniting the culturally compatible sections of people in Europe by abolishing the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy.  

(v) It was among the educated liberal middle class that ideas of national unity and abolition of aristocratic privileges gained popularity.  

(vi) This led to nationalism and emergence of idea of the nation-state.
