Frederic Sorrieu prepared a series of four prints visualizing his dream of a world made up of ‘democratic and
social Republics’, as he called them. The first print of the series shows the peoples of Europe and America – men
and women of all ages and social classes – marching in a long train, and offering homage to the Statue of
Liberty as they pass by it. Artists of the time of the French Revolution personified Liberty as a female figure. She
bears the torch of Enlightenment in one hand and the Charter of the Rights of Man in the other. On the earth in
the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieu’s
utopian vision, the peoples of the world are grouped as distinct nations, identified through their flags and
national costume. Leading the procession, way past the Statue of Liberty, are the United States and Switzerland,
which by this time were already nation-states. France, identifiable by the revolutionary tricolour, has just
reached the statue. She is followed by the peoples of Germany, bearing the black, red and gold flag.

17. Who was Frederic Sorrieu?

12. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Conservative regimes set up in 1815 were autocratic. They did not tolerate criticism
and dissent and sought to curb activities that questioned the legitimacy of autocratic
governments. Most of them imposed censorship laws to control what was said in newspapers, books,
plays, and songs and reflected the ideas of liberty and freedom associated with the French Revolution.
The memory of the French Revolution nonetheless continued to inspire liberals. One of the major
issues taken up by the liberal-nationalists, who criticised the new conservative order, was freedom of
the press.
13. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: After the Russian occupation, the Polish language was forced out of schools and the
Russian language was imposed everywhere. In 1831, an armed rebellion against Russian rule took
place which was ultimately crushed. Following this, many members of the clergy in Poland began to
use language as a weapon of national resistance. Language played an important role in developing
nationalist sentiments. Consequently, the use of Polish came to be seen as a symbol of the struggle
against Russian dominance.
14. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The French Revolution proclaimed that it was the people who would henceforth
constitute the nation and shape its destiny. From the very beginning, the French Revolutionaries
introduced various measures and practices that would create a sense of collective identity amongst
the French people. The ideas of la patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasised the
notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution.

15. (c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: The Treaty of Vienna of 1815 was signed with the main aim of undoing most of the
changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. It was signed to re-establish
conservative regions in Europe.
16. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Greece had been part of the Ottoman Empire since the fifteenth century. The growth of
revolutionary nationalism in Europe sparked off a struggle for independence amongst the Greeks
which began in 1821. Greek war of independence was an event that mobilized nationalist feelings
among the educated elite across Europe. Nationalists in Greece got support from other Greeks living in
exile and also from many West Europeans who had sympathies for ancient Greek culture. Poets and
artists lauded Greece as the cradle of European civilization and mobilized public opinion to
support its struggle against a Muslim empire.
