Case Study:
In the early 19th century, the idea of nationalism was closely associated with the idea of
liberalism in Europe. For the new middle classes, liberalism stood for freedom of the
individual and equality of all before the law. Politically, it emphasized the concept of a
nation-state with a constitution and parliamentary system. However, liberal nationalism
often excluded large parts of the population from political rights and was dominated by
property-owning men.
Questions:
16.a) What did liberalism stand for in the economic sphere in 19th-century Europe? (1)
16.b) Why can it be said that liberal nationalism was not truly democratic? (1)
16.c) How did the concept of a nation-state emerge from liberalism? (1)
16.d) Identify one contradiction within liberal nationalism of that period. (1)
                                                                                             7
