The Rise of Nation-States The political shape of the modern world owes nearly everything to the influence of Western Europe. Major revolutions in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s shaped these ideas. Feudalism – lords owned the land, gave away for service Nation-State – independent nation of people with a common culture. Nationalism – people should be loyal to their nation Communism – government and economy rules entirely by the state.

What are some examples of governments from this region? Republic –France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland –President or Prime Minister –Branches of Government Constitutional Monarchy –Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Netherlands –Monarch - King –Rules based on a constitution –Also republics in Western Europe.

Economics: Diversity and Luxury Western European nations tend to be wealthy and stable, with diverse economies. Increasing manufacturing sectors. –Rich in coal and iron ore Nuclear Energy –France 75% Banking - Switzerland

Arts and Culture of Western Europe Germany and Austria are famous for their influence on classical music. –Bach –Beethoven –Mozart France is famous for painting and the visual arts. –Jan Van Eyck (from Belgium) –Rembrandt (from the Netherlands) –Claude Monet (France) –Paul Gauguin (France) –Paul Cezanne (France)

France and Germany both have to bail out other European economic failures.
