why the government of European countries increased the peace time revenues?
Answers
Explanation:
Shifts in the political spectrum and larger
issues of industrial society prompted important
changes in government functions through the second half of the 19th century. Mass
education headed the list. Building on earlier
precedents, most governments in western
Europe established universal public schooling
in the 1870s and 80s, requiring attendance at least at the primary levels. Education was
seen as essential to provide basic skills such as literacy and numeracy. It also was a vital means of conditioning citizens to loyalty to the national
government. All the educational systems
vigorously pushed nationalism in their history and literature courses. They tried to standardize
language, as against minority dialects and languages (opposing Polish in Germany, for example, or Breton in France).
