Themes: Nationalism and Industrialisation.
Write an essay of 1200 words in which you address the following:
1. Defining Nationalism and Industrialisation: Clearly define both concepts.
Discuss their origins and key characteristics in the 19th century.
2. Case Studies: Compare how nationalism and industrialisation developed in
at least two Western countries (e.g., Britain, Germany, France, or the United
States).
3. Interconnections: How did industrialisation contribute to nationalist
movements?
Conversely, how did nationalism influence industrial policies?
4. Social and Economic Impacts: Examine how these forces shaped the lives of
ordinary people, including workers, women, and ethnic minorities.
The 19th century was a turning point in the history of the Western world.
During this time, societies experienced dramatic political, social, and
economic changes that set the stage for the modern age. Two of the most
powerful forces of this period were nationalism and industrialisation.
Nationalism reshaped how people understood their identity and loyalty, while
industrialisation transformed the way people worked, lived, and related to
one another. Both forces influenced each other in significant ways, and their
impact was felt across Europe and the wider Western world.
Nationalism can be understood as a movement that emphasised unity and
loyalty to a shared national identity. It encouraged people to see themselves
as part of a larger community bound by language, culture, history, or political
destiny. Industrialisation, on the other hand, was an economic and social
process through which societies shifted from traditional agricultural
