Why can the economic hardships of the 1830s be called the background of nationalist politics?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They increased people's discontent against governments

Unemployment, rising food prices, poverty and insecurity made workers and other groups dissatisfied with existing governments, while educated groups connected these grievances with demands for representation and reform. Option A is correct. B, C and D contradict the effect of crisis, which generally intensified rather than removed political discontent.
