What was the relationship between economic crisis and nationalism in the revolutions from 1830 to 1848?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Economic hardship pushed people to demand political change and national rights
The governing concept is that economic distress can create political dissatisfaction. In the years around 1830–1848, unemployment, rising food prices and poor harvests increased hardship among workers and ordinary people. They began questioning conservative governments and demanding constitutional rights, representative institutions and national unity. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B, C and D are wrong because the crisis did not uniformly calm nationalism, benefit only rulers or remain separate from politics.
