Best Answer

Different peoples throughout the Austrian and Ottoman Empires began to realize, on account of nationalist ideas, that they had unique customs and traditions. Originally, they had no concept of coherent local identity, they could tell that whatever they were, they were not Austrian Germans or Ottoman Turks. This provided the groundswells that would lead to the Nationalist movements as each of these conquered groups began to articulate what their cultural views were, how they defined themselves, and their historical narratives. These Nationalist Movements led to wars of independence throughout the Austrian and Ottoman Empires. In the Austrian Empire there was a sustained revolt by Hungarians and smaller revolts by Poles, Czechs, and Slovenes. In the Ottoman Empire, successful wars for independence were launched by the Serbs, Greeks, Bulgarians, Montenegrins, and Romanians.

He was correct to form that opinion; nationalism ripped the Austrian Empire apart and for exactly the reason he predicted. The Austrian Empire was ruled by the German-speaking Austrians who were a majority in a very small minority of the Austrian Empire. There were far many more Slovenes, Croats, Serbians, Bosniaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks than Austrians and these peoples would eventually demand independence on nationalist grounds. When this nationalism was realized at the end of World War I, the Austrian Empire ceased to exist.

How is nationalism a disruptive force in Europe?

It unified the nations of Italy and Germany, but split apart the multi-national empires, such as the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian empire. An example would be WW2 when Hitler convinced all of Germany that they were superior then everyone else and discriminated other ethnic groups. I would say WW2 was disruptive in Europe.

How did nationalism affect Germany and Austria differently?

In general, you could say that German nationalism tended to bring the country together, and the nationalism in Austria-Hungary tended to pull them apart. There was a much greater land area, much greater religious and cultural diversity, and a much greater overlap in people identifying with other countries and language differences in Austria-Hungary. Nationalism of course continued. After the dissolution Austrian Catholics were bonded together by religion, and although many of them were German, they didn't want to join with the protestants. German nationalism in Nazi Germany continued, and may have been a unifying experience for some, but at the expense of the ostracism and dehumanization of others.
