  1. Nationalism and the idea of the nation-state emerged within the culturally and regionally diverse groups of Europe.
  2. Socially and politically, a landed aristocracy was the dominant class on the continent. The members of this class were united by a common way of life that cut across the regional division. They spoke French for the purpose of diplomacy and in high society.
  3. Due to industrialisation and transformation of society, there emerged a middle-class consisting of businessmen, working professionals, industrialists, labourers and working-class people.
  4. Industrialisation began in England in the second half of the 18th century but in France and German states, it occurred only during 19th century. In its wake, new social groups came into being.
  5. Out of these, the educated middle-class people thought of uniting the culturally compatible sections of people in Europe by abolishing the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy.
  6. It was among the educated liberal middle class that ideas of national unity and abolition of aristocratic privileges gained popularity.
  7. Nations began to be perceived as having a definite territory, anthem, and flag, together with a Parliament which was elected by property-owning men of the middle class.
  8. This led to nationalism and emergence of the idea of the nation-state.
