Why did the Liberals and Radicals oppose to the privileges the
old aristocracy had by birth?
Answers
Answer:
Liberals and radicals themselves were often property owners and employers. Having made their wealth through trade or industrial ventures, they felt that such an effort should be encouraged – that its benefits would also be achieved if the workforce in the economy was healthy and citizens were educated. Some nationalists, liberals, and radicals wanted revolutions to put an end to the kind of governments established in Europe in 1815. In France, Italy, Germany, and Russia, they became revolutionaries and worked to overthrow existing monarchs. Nationalists talked of revolutions that would create ‘nations’ where all citizens would have equal rights. After 1815, Giuseppe Mazzini, an Italian nationalist, conspired with others to achieve this in Italy. Nationalists elsewhere – including India – read his writings.
