Nationalism spread throughout Europe like fire in the Yellow Stone Park. And like fire, the effects that Nationalism had caused were both eminent yet horrendous. Nationalism united people into nation-states, toppled empires composed of many ethnic minorities, and contributed to the outbreak of wars in the nineteenth century. For example, Germany was united by Otto von Bismarck, France by the French Revolution, and Italy by Garibaldi and Cavour, all because of the nationalistic effect. They united as a country because of their pride and brotherhood. However, empires with minorities such as Austria Hungary, Italy, and the Slavic were separated in the process. They felt that other ethnicities would hold them back, and if broken away from them, would aid them in the success of their country. Nationalism contributed to the many wars fought during that period, such as the countless wars fought by Germany, France, and the Slavs. They were fought in order to separate themselves from other nations, or keep other ethnicities out of their newly united nation. Nationalism, although unknown at the time, created a domino effect in Europe.…

In 1792, these tensions exploded into war and the beginning of the republic. The second was from 1792 to 1794, acute crisis, consolidation and repression happened in that period. The Terror did save the republic, but it exhausted itself and collapsed in 1794. Third stage was from 1794 to 1799, the government drifted and the state fell prey to a military leader Napoleon Bonaparte. Some historians also include the forth stage into the revolution, which was from 1799 to 1815. Napoleon’s rule was punctuated by astonishing victories and catastrophes and constitutes the end of the revolution.

It accelerated the development of republics and democracies in Europe and other parts of the World by changing old traditions and expanding the arena of human rights.
