Which aspect of nationalism is shown by Belgium breaking away?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The demand for a separate political existence based on shared identity
Belgium’s 1830 revolt against the United Kingdom of the Netherlands expressed the wish of people with a distinct religious, cultural, and political identity to form a separate state. The governing nationalist principle is that a shared identity can support a demand for political self-determination. Therefore option A is correct. The event was not merely a trade policy, a private royal agreement, or a rejection of nationalism.
