Topic 7.2: Nationalism 

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS:
Nationalists encouraged loyalty to the nation in a variety of ways, including romantic idealism, liberal reform, political unification, racialism with a concomitant anti-Semitism, and chauvinism justifying national aggrandizement.
While during the 19th century western European Jews became more socially and politically acculturated, Zionism, a form of Jewish nationalism, developed late in the century as a response to growing anti-Semitism throughout Europe.
A new generation of conservative leaders, including Napoleon III, Cavour, and Bismarck,
used popular nationalism to create or strengthen the state.
The creation of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, which recognized the political power
of the largest ethnic minority, was an attempt to stabilize the state by re-configuring national unity.
