Why did conservative rulers in Europe worry about the spread of nationalist ideas after the French Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because these ideas could challenge dynastic and absolute power
The governing concept is the conflict between conservative restoration and revolutionary nationalism. Conservative rulers sought to preserve dynastic monarchy, aristocratic privilege and established authority after the upheavals of the Revolution. Nationalist ideas linked the nation with citizens, rights and popular sovereignty, so they could encourage demands for constitutions and political participation. Options B, C and D do not explain the threat; they either reverse the effect or describe an unrelated claim. Hence A is correct.
