We take a look at European history and trace the origins of modern states from agrarian feudal societies to modern behemoths with the ability to propagandize tens of millions of people into a sense of community.

The 19th century was a period of great change in Europe, marked by the rise of nationalism and the formation of new Nation states. The Italian Wars of Unification and the origins of the French Nation state are two prime examples of this transformation. The Italian Wars of Unification, also known as the Risorgimento, were a series of political and military events that led to the unification of Italy in the 19th century. Before this time, Italy was divided into various city-states, kingdoms, and other independent regions, making it vulnerable to foreign domination and internal conflicts. However, with the rise of Italian nationalism and the efforts of key figures like Giuseppe Garibaldi and Camillo di Cavour, Italy was able to unite and form a single Nation state in 1861. The origins of the French Nation state, on the other hand, can be traced back to the medieval period, with the consolidation of power by the Capetian Dynasty. The French Revolution of 1789 further strengthened the concept of a French Nation state, as it challenged the traditional power structures and emphasized the importance of national identity. This led to the establishment of a centralized government and the creation of a new constitution, which established France as a Nation state with a distinct cultural and political identity. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Europe saw the formation of many other Nation states, as well as the transformation of existing ones. This period was characterized by intense nationalism, territorial disputes, and the struggle for power and influence. The impact of these events was felt not only in Europe but also around the world, as European powers expanded their empires and influence through colonization and imperialism.
