Despite a shared aristocratic lifestyle, why did nationalism spread more among the middle class?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the middle class saw its interest in constitutions, markets and national unity
Aristocrats across Europe often shared a similar elite lifestyle, but they also benefited from inherited land, status and political privilege. The growing middle class had different interests: it wanted constitutional government, civil equality, freer markets and national unity to remove regional barriers. Consequently, nationalism offered this group a programme for political and economic change. Option A is correct; B, C and D are historically unsupported generalisations.
