Abstract
Indeed, in tracing the development of nationalism in the early 19th century, we are confronted with the inherent weaknesses of division, particularism and mass indifference; dubious motives of 'nationalists' and oft-yieldless attempts to surmount forces of repression- to the point that it is questionable at some stages, if genuine nationalism even existed at all. nationalism is essentially the belief that people who share a common language, culture or history should be brought together to form a nation-state; the desire of a community to assert its independence and uniqueness from another. Since in Italy and germany we refer to integrated nationalism, the desire for unification would then invariably be a prerequisite of a nationalist. In the spirit of discussion, we shall not assume the most stringent definitions of a nationalist- this implies not discrediting one wholly based on what type of unity was craved.
