Question

explain any three ways in which nationalists feelings were kept alive in Poland in 18th and 19th century?

Answer 1

Nationalist feelings were kept alive in Poland in the 18^th and 19^th centuries in the following ways:

1. Music- Karol Kurpinski kept the national feelings alive through operas and music and turned folk dances like polonaise and mazurka into nationalist sysmbols.

2. Language- Polish language had been forced out of schools and and Russian was imposed everywhere after Russian occupation. However, Polish was used by the clergy for all religious ceremonies and instructions. This was a way to keep national sentiment alive.

3. Secret societies that were modelled on Mazzini's Young Italy were set up in Poland to cater to nationalist sentiment.
