Still the results of these revolutions were quite contradictive: France gained political freedoms for a short period of time, Italy was unified by monarchy was established, Austria-Hungary held political reforms against feudalism survivals, but in fact the very purposes were not realized. But their ideological role was vital, as their results led to the popularization of nationalist ideas in Europe, cultural unification of oppressed nations and further struggle for freedoms.
Since the mile of the nineteenth century European community had understood that nation could develop only under the ideas of nationalism, liberties and independence within the state, where people live, and where their interests and aspirations are reflected in current legislature. At the same time, nationalism in different European states gained radical features, such as expansion, superiority over other nations and struggle for new territories, markets and zones of economical and political interest. From one side these were colonial interests of European superpowers, with liberal governments as France and Great Britain, who were entering the new age in their development called imperialism and from the other side there were "old-fashioned" monarchies who saw the only way to prosperity in conquest and colonialism....
But they met the counter force in the face of nationalism of oppressed nations, who as well wanted to fight for independence and were not satisfied by territorial ambitions of European major powers.
All these contradictions (imperial and nationalistic) brought Europe and global community to WW1, which had to solve burning problems of European geopolitics by means of blood, cruelty and gunpowder. In order to see the most objective solution to of the problem it's important to refer to Woodrow Wilson's "14 points," who being an independent observe proposed the most reasonable solution to further conflicts at least on the territory of Europe: "to refuse from any colonial claims on European continent and to give the right to self-determination and establishing governments to every nation."

The first case that brought these contradictions to surface was a Crimean War, when Russian and declining Ottoman Empire with allies in the face of Britain and France fought for domination in Black sea, then it was Berlin congress, which finished Russo-Turkish war of 1876-1878.
But by the means of repartitioning Europe, changing maps and establishing new states, imperial interests of major European superpowers could not be solved, as they dream about the whole repartition of colonial world. But they met the counter force in the face of nationalism of oppressed nations, who as well wanted to fight for independence and were not satisfied by territorial ambitions of European major powers.

Europe Women's Suffrage Most countries in Western and Central Europe, including Great Britain granted women the vote right after World War I, and only in the Scandinavian nations of Norway and Finland did they receive it earlier than that. France stood out as exceptional, however, no matter that it was the homeland of democratic revolution and of the idea of equal rights for women. It also had a highly conservative side
European nationalism in the nineteenth century seems to have picked up where religion had left off centuries before. This statement may sound provocative -- positing the state as a substitute for a God whose influence was waning -- but in reality it is possible to understand nineteenth-century nationalism in Europe as fundamentally a replay of earlier religious phenomena. In surveying the most salient manifestations of nationalism in the middle of
Under the next Emperor, William II, Germany took a more imperialistic course that led to a lot of friction with many of the neighboring countries, which was similar to the course that other European powers also took. After this took place the alliances that Germany had with various countries were not renewed by those countries, and when new alliances were created they did not include Germany in them. France, specifically,
Modernism: Depth Analysis European Art Works 1860-1935 Modernism, in its widest meaning, is considered to be modern belief, eccentric, or practice. To add a little more, the word gives a description of the modernist movement occurring in the arts, its set of cultural propensities and related cultural actions, initially rising from wide-scale and extensive differences to Western civilization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Baker 2005). In specific the
Other employment prospects in fields such as petty trading, retailing, transportation and domestic service also developed simultaneously in urban areas.

Growth of Cities According to Jeffery G. Williamson (1990) Britain grew at an unusually rapid
