How did small states and different customs duties encourage economic nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They strengthened the demand for a unified market.
When a region was divided into many small states, each state could maintain separate customs duties, rules and checkpoints. Merchants then faced delays, extra costs and restricted markets. These difficulties encouraged people to demand a common territory with uniform commercial rules. That demand connected economic interests with nationalism. Options B, C and D contradict the effects of customs barriers.
