NEW UNIT: GLOBAL NATIONALISM

During the French Revolution, people in France expressed great pride in their nation. Nationalism later spread to other peoples, inspiring uprisings across Europe and Latin America. In the 1860s, nationalism led to the unification of Italy. By

1871, Germany had also united. Outside Europe, nationalistic movements took root in India,

Turkey, and elsewhere. Among Jews, a movement arose to create a separate Jewish

state in Palestine. As the 1800s drew to a close, nationalistic forces created tensions in the Balkans that set the state for world war.
