Which classes must be studied together to understand the social base of nationalism in nineteenth-century Europe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Aristocracy, peasants, new middle class and working class
Nationalism developed within a changing and unequal European society, so its social base cannot be explained through one group alone. The aristocracy retained influence, peasants formed the largest rural population, and the new middle and working classes emerged with economic and industrial change. Option A is therefore correct; the narrower alternatives omit major social groups.
