The making of nations

What were international politics about between 1878 and 1870?

It was about the creation of a Europe of nation-states.

The spring of the peoples (1848) was clearly an affirmation of nationality, of rival nationalities.

Revolutions failed, but the same aspirations dominated politics

European Union for the next twenty-five years.

Even outside of Europe the making of nations was dramatically visible.

What was the Meiji restoration but the appearance of a proud new

nation in Japan?

The NATION was taken for granted. The transformation of nations into sovereign NATIONS-STATES, with a coherent territory, which in turn is defined by its

past history, their common culture, their ethnic composition and their language. Without

Those who promoted it were almost always cultured members of the foreign ruling class or select minority, such as the German Lutheran pastors or the intellectual knights of the Baltic who brought together the folklore and antiquities of the

Latvian-Estonian peasantry.

The defenders of the nation-state not only affirmed that it should be national, but

not that it should also be progressive, capable of developing a viable economy

a technology, a state organization and a military force; This is the natural unit of the development of modern, liberal, progressive and de facto bourgeois society. The unification and independence was its principle.

The simplest argument of those who identified nation-states with

progress was the denial
