Abstract

The identities of European nations were built by 19th and 20th century intellectuals. By defining seminal events, national symbols, and heroes, they transformed what had been kingdoms and subjects into nations and citizens. Education reform, literature, monuments and statues, museums, and international expositions contributed to the shaping of these nations' modern histories and traditions.
