Study Notes
Nationalism in Europe
- Sorrieu's 1848 Print: Depicts a utopian vision of democratic and social republics uniting Europe and America. The image showcases diverse people from different nations marching towards Liberty, a female figure representing Enlightenment principles. Shattered symbols of absolutism represent the end of old systems. The procession includes the US and Switzerland, pre-existing nation-states, France, Germany (identified by their aspirational flag), Austria, etc. Angels and Christ symbolize international fraternity.
The Idea of the Nation-State
-
Emergence: Nationalism resulted in Europe's political and mental transformation, replacing multi-national empires with nation-states during the 19th century. Existing concepts of central state power, controlling territories were enhanced by the rise of popular identities and common history/descent.
-
Renan's Perspective: Ernst Renan defined a nation as the culmination of shared struggles, sacrifices, devotion and shared glories. He emphasized common past deeds, presence of a shared will, and a continuous plebiscite (vote). Nations were vital for liberty— a single master or law would diminish liberty.
The French Revolution and Nationalism
-
Early Expression: The French Revolution in 1789 embodied nationalism, transferring sovereignty from the monarchy to the citizenry. Revolutionary ideas of "la patrie" (fatherland) and "le citoyen" (citizen) promoted unity and equal rights.
-
National Symbols and Practices: France established the Tricolor flag, National Assembly, new hymns, commemorated martyrs, and developed a centralized administrative system with uniform laws and measures. Promotion of a common language (French).
-
Exporting Nationalism: French revolutionaries aimed to liberate Europeans from despotism, aiding other nations in becoming independent states. Jacobin clubs spread these ideas across Europe. Napoleon's conquests spread some reforms, though reactions were mixed.
Nationalism and Imperialism
-
Nationalist Tensions: Intense rivalry between European powers over trade and colonies during the late 19th century. The Balkans, a region of diverse ethnic groups within the Ottoman Empire created a high potential for conflict with desires to reclaim lost independence.
-
European Powers and Balkan Rivalries: Russia, Germany, England and Austro-Hungary competed for influence in the Balkans, contributing to the rise of Balkan wars and leading to World War I.
Nationalism in Germany and Italy
-
German Unification: After 1848, a conservative path towards unification focused on Prussian military and state strength, rather than a democratic assembly. Otto von Bismarck used Prussian armies and bureaucracy to unite German regions through three successful wars (with Austria, Denmark, France.)
-
Italian Unification: Italy, with its fragmented political landscape, also pursued unification through war, diplomatic alliances, and armed volunteers. Sardinia-Piedmont played a critical role, eventually declaring victory under Victor Emmanuel II. Giuseppe Garibaldi led volunteer groups.
Nationalism in Britain
- Different Model: Britain developed as a nation-state through a prolonged process, without sudden revolutions. English dominance over other islands (Scotland, Ireland). Acts of Union reinforced central control. Symbols of a unified British nation were actively promoted.
Visualizing the Nation
- Nation Personification: Artists presented nations as female symbolic figures (Marianne, Germania) representing abstract ideas (the nation). They were not based on real people, but rather represented popular values.
Liberal Nationalism
- Ideology: Allied with liberalism, the ideas supported the freedom of individuals and equal rights before the law; government by consent; constitutionalism; the inviolability of private property. Not universally supportive of suffrage, or women's rights.
1848 Revolutions
- Causes: Economic hardship, widespread unemployment, crop failures
- Liberals' Demands: Constitutionalism
- Frankfurt Parliament: Failed attempt to unite German states under a constitutional monarchy.
Cultural Contribution to Nationalism
- Examples: Romantic artists and poets, fostering sentiment for shared heritage and culture. The Grimm Brothers; folk songs, poetry, dances. Musicians like Karol Kurpinski using folk music and language to oppose outside forces.
Women's Role in Nationalistic Struggles
- Participation: Women formed their own associations, newspapers, took part in demonstrations.
- Exclusion: Denied suffrage and political rights.
- Contradictory Views: Some liberal nationalists believed women should remain in the private sphere. Others argued for their equal rights.
