  1. The story of this unit Monarchs realize that they have to reform in order to maintain power. They also realize that they can use Nationalism to their advantage as a means to control their nation. The German states unified into a larger Germany. The Italian states unify into a larger Italy. With this new confidence, monarchs realize that their main enemy is NOT the middle class and lower classes of their country but EACH OTHER – this signals the end of the Congress of Vienna’s influence. Diplomacy is out of style – war is “in”

The goal of realpolitik is to maintain power at all costs: whether through use of violence or through reform. • Popular art – REALISM • Nation-state: An independent political unit of modern times based on representing a united people.

  4. How did the idea and reality of the nation state change before and after 1870? How does the author define a nation? Why did the consolidation of nation states need both a territorial and psychological phase? Listen to the lecture. Continue your notes on the definition of a nation. (you can do this at the bottom of your page).
