Why would it be wrong to call the unification of Germany and Italy only emotional nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it also involved diplomacy, war, state power and economic interests
The governing concept is the interaction between nationalist ideas and practical power politics. National feeling encouraged people to imagine a common nation, but rulers and political leaders also relied on diplomacy, armies, wars, administration and economic interests. Bismarck used Prussian state power, while Italian leaders combined diplomacy and military campaigns. Therefore option A is correct; B denies nationalism and C and D are unrelated or false.
