How were social and economic changes working together in the making of nationalism in nineteenth-century Europe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Industrialisation created the middle class and trade barriers increased the demand for unity
Industrialisation changed European society by strengthening the urban middle class of entrepreneurs, professionals, and educated groups. At the same time, internal customs duties and fragmented markets made trade costly and encouraged the demand for economic unity. These social and economic pressures supported nationalism and the idea of a common nation-state. Therefore A is correct; the other options make absolute or historically false claims.
