The development of nationalism worldwide was influenced by a mix of short- and long-term causes, and it had significant global effects. Long-term causes include the Enlightenment, which promoted ideas of individual rights, self-determination, and the legitimacy of government through popular consent. The American and French Revolutions also served as early examples of nations forming around shared ideals and identity. The Industrial Revolution contributed by creating stronger economies, better communication, and a sense of unity among people in shared geographic and cultural regions. Additionally, the decline of feudalism and the rise of centralized states helped foster national identity. Short-term causes include the spread of revolutionary movements in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in Europe and Latin America. In the 19th century, the unification movements in Germany and Italy and anti-colonial uprisings in places like Latin America, India, and the Ottoman Empire accelerated the spread of nationalism. Reaction to foreign domination and imperialism often sparked nationalist movements in colonized regions. Short-term effects include the unification of states like Germany and Italy and the rise of independence movements around the world. Long-term effects include the redrawing of national borders, the decline of empires, and the eventual decolonization of Africa and Asia in the 20th century. Nationalism also contributed to global conflicts, including World Wars I and II, as rival national interests clashed. |
