The Spirit of Nationalism
{"Image DocumentName": "The Spirit of Nationalism", "Image ImageDescription": "Nationalism is the belief that each nationality (ethnic group) is entitled to its own government and national homeland. The French Revolution had ignited the spirit of nationalism throughout much of Europe by teaching that each government should be based on the will of the people. Napoleon s conquests also inspired nationalist resentment against the French. Despite the stirrings of nationalism, the statesmen at the Congress of Vienna failed to take into account the desire of many people to control their own governments. Instead, they favored legitimacy - maintaining traditional rulers. As a result, many European peoples were still not united; others lived under foreign rule.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
