How much did
nationalism grow
by 1850?
- Economic
- The idea of nat in
economics grew mainly
post-1835 with the
creation of the zollverien
- A customs union created a sense of unity as firms
would trade among states with ease, due to free trade
agreement, thus taking away the idea of borders
across states
- However, only 25 out of the 25 states
were members of the zollverien which
meant it helped divide the states as
well as unite them
- Historians argue that the
zollverien was a "mighty lever
of german unification"
showing it must have had an
impact on the growth of
nationalism

- The Development of
railways in he 1830s
had an effect on
nationalism as it ended
isolation and enabled
urbanisation
- From 1800-1850 Munich population
30,000-110,000. This helped the growth of liberal
and nationilistic ideas as people were closer
together which allowed the sharing of these ideas
with ease
- It also had an impact as urbanisation caused
poor living conditions which caused civil unrest
among the working class who wanted change
and were more likely now to protest and
demonstrate for change.

- In evaulation, changes to the economy dirrectly affect businessmen first therefore
something like the creation of the zolllveirien will increase support from business owners
as they'll have seen ncrease in proit. Industrilisation helped the spread od ideas which
wold have made an increase in suppoters, also it reduced the peasantry's standard of
living making them more likely to demand change in the form of unifcation. This all shows
economics factors created a growth of nationalism within society
- The idea of nat in
economics grew mainly
post-1835 with the
creation of the zollverien
- Middle Class
- The growth of
nationalism was aided
by education and
ability to go to
university
- This is due to the creation of
student socities were mainly
many liberal professors and
student went to meet and talk
about ideas such as
nationalism and unification.
- However, even though the creation of
these showed interest in these idea they
were banned by metternich in the six acts
thus unable to inact change
- However, even though the creation of
these showed interest in these idea they
were banned by metternich in the six acts
thus unable to inact change
- Watburt Book festival in 1817 shows there was support for nationalism
from the educated, as 5000 students and professors went burned book in
protest of the divisive vienna settlement
- This showed there was early outrage against
the seperation of states
- This shows that even from 30 years before the 1848 revolution there was obvious support from the
educated middle class for unification and nationalism, thus meaning Metternich did created the Six
Acts in 1819 to repress these ideas, this was somewhat successful througout the 1820's as there is
not much evidence of major growth within that decade
- This shows that even from 30 years before the 1848 revolution there was obvious support from the
educated middle class for unification and nationalism, thus meaning Metternich did created the Six
Acts in 1819 to repress these ideas, this was somewhat successful througout the 1820's as there is
not much evidence of major growth within that decade
- This may also have meant that they were against the idea of
the Vienna settlement setting up the bund full of unelected
officials meaning they believed in more liberal ideas like
democracy
- This showed there was early outrage against
the seperation of states
- This is due to the creation of
student socities were mainly
many liberal professors and
student went to meet and talk
about ideas such as
nationalism and unification.
- In evaluation, it is clear that even by 1817 there was support from the
middle class in education but however it isn't clear if they were actually
able t effect the growth of nationalism out with their soceiities due to
dislike from Metternich therefore it clear there was always support from
the educated middle class but their views we suppressed by the by the
rulers thus unable to cause a rise in support of nationalism. But al ot of the
vocal support came from those in education
- The growth of
nationalism was aided
by education and
ability to go to
university
- Politics
- 574 delegates met in the
Frankfurt Assembly with the
aim of creating a unified
Germany
- This shows a growth in
nationalism as it was
an elected body create
to decide and disscus
the unification of
Germany
- However, too much time was spent on not significant
issues, such as the definition of Germany, this meant the
Asssembly was unable to actually achieve anything in
terms of major support from the people before it was
shutdown
- But this assembly does show there was increased support for
nationalism, within the political sphere, as they did try and
create a unified Germany when they offered Federick William
Germany in 1849
- This shows a growth in
nationalism as it was
an elected body create
to decide and disscus
the unification of
Germany
- Federick William was usually keen on the idea of a united
Germany - but one of his own creation, which would give
increased power to Prussia where they'd control the army &
foreign policy
- However, a problem to this was that Austria acted
furiously to the idea of increased powers to their
enemies in Prussia
- Faced with Austrian oppostion the Prussian's backed down and the Treaty
of Olmutz was signed in 1850. This agreement signalled that the events of
1848 had been forgotten and the ideals of german nationalism were gone
- However, a problem to this was that Austria acted
furiously to the idea of increased powers to their
enemies in Prussia
- In evaluation, Austrian strength within politics affcted unification as the idea of
them opposing Prussia destroyed the though of Prussia demanding unity. This
shows us that even though there was a growth of signs for nationalism by 1848
within politics, Austria and inactiveness delayed these signs from having any
effect by 1850
- 574 delegates met in the
Frankfurt Assembly with the
aim of creating a unified
Germany
- Society
- Peasants formed the largest group in
German society and could have a great
influence on success of nationlism
- As urban populations grew there was an increasing demand for food and
fewer peasants working in the countryside to make it and alongside a
poor harvest in 1846&47 food shortages and increacising proces resulted -
this coming at a time of unemployment due to a recession
- This caused resentment against the ruling class as
their lives were getting worse thus many peasants
supported unity as they believed change was the
only way their lives could improve
- However, there was no call for democracy,
nationalism or nationalism in their demand they just
wanted to survive and they believed a unified govt
might improve their conditions. This showing that
even though there was increased support for
unification it didn't necessarily mean a growth of
nationalism
- This caused resentment against the ruling class as
their lives were getting worse thus many peasants
supported unity as they believed change was the
only way their lives could improve
- As urban populations grew there was an increasing demand for food and
fewer peasants working in the countryside to make it and alongside a
poor harvest in 1846&47 food shortages and increacising proces resulted -
this coming at a time of unemployment due to a recession
- It is also clear that it wasn't just the middle classs who wanted change
as the Hambach festival of 1832 had 25,000 people of all classes to
demonstrate in support or German unity and freedom
- This shows that even though most of the support came from liberal,
educated middle class people it wasn't a class issue - there was
national support from all classes in society
- This shows that even though most of the support came from liberal,
educated middle class people it wasn't a class issue - there was
national support from all classes in society
- In evaluation, it is clear that in society there was huge levels of discontent
and by the beginning of 1848 with a combination of demand for working and
middle class and the peasantry they all had one thing in common - change.
This change was seen by some in the idea of unity thus there was a growth in
nationalism. This shows us that poor governance and resecion caused a
agrowth in support for unity and this want for change is a cause of the 1848
revolution
- Peasants formed the largest group in
German society and could have a great
influence on success of nationlism
