About The Rise of Nationalism in Europe

This quiz covers Chapter 1 of CBSE Class 10 History (India and the Contemporary World II), The Rise of Nationalism in Europe.

It opens with the French Revolution of 1789 and Napoleon's later reforms, including the Civil Code of 1804, which first spread the idea of a nation bound by common laws and identity.

It then covers the aristocracy and the new middle class, and what liberal nationalism actually stood for -- individual freedom, equality before the law, and representative government.

It moves on to the new conservatism that followed 1815, the Congress of Vienna, and the secret societies of revolutionaries such as Giuseppe Mazzini, who dreamed of a unified, sovereign nation-state.

It then covers the Age of Revolutions between 1830 and 1848, the role of Romanticism and folk culture in building national feeling, and the hardship and popular revolts that fed these movements.

It covers the unification of Germany under Otto von Bismarck and of Italy under Cavour and Garibaldi, and the very different, gradual way Britain became a single nation-state.

It closes with how artists visualised the nation as a female figure, and how nationalism, by the late 19th century, became tangled up with imperialism in the Balkans.

Every question comes with a clear, simple explanation, so incorrect answers become as instructive as correct ones, whether you are revising for a school test or a board exam.
