Solution

The correct option is B

Heroism


Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) – Heroism.

  • The crown of oak leaves represents Heroism.
  • The readiness to fight was signified by the Sword.
  • The willingness to make peace was represented by the Olive branch around the Sword.
  • Rays of the rising sun represented the beginning of a new era.
  • The breastplate with an eagle symbolised the strength of the German empire.
  • The Broken chains symbolised being freed.
  • Black, red, and gold tricolour symbolised the flag of the liberal-nationalists in 1848, banned by the Dukes of the German states.

Germania wears a crown of oak leaves. Germania became the allegory of the German nation. To represent the nation, similar female allegories were invented by artists in the nineteenth century. In France, a female allegory was christened, Marianne. It underlined the idea of a people’s nation. The characteristics of Marianne were drawn from those of Liberty and the Republic – the red cap, the tricolor, the cockade. Stamps and coins were marked with the images of Marianne. To remind the public of the national symbol of unity statues of Marianne were erected in public squares.
