Why did military power become more important in nineteenth-century European nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because national power and honour began to be measured through the army too
The governing concept is the militarisation of nationalism. During the nineteenth century, powerful states increasingly associated national prestige, security and international influence with a strong army. Competition among states and imperial expansion reinforced this belief, so military strength became a visible measure of national power. Option A is correct; B contradicts militarisation, C is historically implausible, and D wrongly limits nationalism to culture.
