Explain how the Industrial Revolution influenced the rise of conservative and liberal philosophies and explain how those philosophies competed with or related to nationalism in Greece and Germany.
The industrial revolution was a historic period in Europe during the time of 1815 to 1848. The major place affected by the industrial revolution was initially England. Other countries, such as France, were not being as industrialized as England was. Factories were allowing workers to work jobs that did not require much skill. Conservatism and liberal ideas, that is, wanting a reign of aristocracy and the idea of doing what is good for the people, prospered because of the Industrial Revolution. Although the Industrial Revolution is thought of as influencing conservatism and nationalism, it influenced the rise of liberal philosophies more than the rise of conservative philosophies; meanwhile nationalism in Greece and Germany contradicted conservative philosophies but was in accordance with liberal ideas.
Liberalism during the time period between 1815 and 1848 was when the people wanted a government like a democracy; they wanted to have a say and they wanted to be kept in mind. Liberal thinkers looked out for the good of the common people. Liberalism was a direct result of the Industrial Revolution because at the end of the industrial revolution, laws were made to protect the rights of workers, and workers were ordered to only work 10 hour shifts. Laws were made on how long children and women could work. Laws also arouse on the amount of money that workers in factories could or should be paid. These laws were made in order to protect all people and maintain their rights. Liberalism is the same idea in that the rights of the people in the state should be a priority. The end of the Industrial Revolution gave leeway to liberal philosophies because people continued to be considered and their opinions continued to matter.
Conservative philosophies were not as much influenced by the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution did give leeway to conservative philosophies, but it did not majorly lead to the idea that the aristocracy should always be the ruling power. It is true that wealthier people owned factories where poor and lower class people worked, but these cotton lords had restrictions because laws were made in order to protect the rights of their workers. They did not maintain complete control over worker’s pay or hours. These conservative philosophies also contradicted nationalism. Conservative believers wanted the aristocracy to rule the state. They believed everything should be done for the aristocracy, and the upper class should be the ones with the power. Nationalism is the want for independent states to rule themselves and have their own government. This is the opposite of conservatism; instead of being rules by the aristocracy, the nationalist thinkers wanted to have an autonomous state that ruled itself and was in control of what happened to their own individual state.
Nationalism was in accordance with liberal philosophies. Liberal thinkers wanted the good of the people to be considered. Nationalist people wanted separate autonomous states that ruled themselves. If there is a state ruling itself, then the good of the people can be the first priority because the ruling forces are making the decisions for their state, and ultimately, for themselves as well. Liberal thinkers would more likely be inclined to want to be ruled by a government of their own state than an aristocracy that has little or no relation to them in order to receive what it is that they deserve. Nationalism is a result of liberal philosophies.
The Industrial Revolution led to nationalism, conservatism, and liberalism, but it did not affect all of these things equally. Liberalism was affected the most, and therefore nationalism was also a result. The period from 1815 to 1848 was a distinct time of change and improvements in Europe. The Industrial Revolution led to changes in Europe and ultimately led to outbreaks and revolutions whose impacts would later cause World War I.
Nationalism was not in line with Liberalism; in fact, it is as much the result of being ignored by one political ideology as it is another.
