Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Language and popular traditions emerged as weapons of national resistance during the nineteenth century in Europe.
The language was crucial in the development of nationalist sentiments. The Polish language was forced out of schools after the Russian occupation, and the Russian language was imposed everywhere. An armed rebellion against Russian rule occurred in 1831, which was eventually crushed. Following this, many Polish clergymen began to use language as a tool of national resistance. Polish was the language of worship and religious instruction. As a result, the Russian authorities imprisoned or sent to Siberia a large number of priests and bishops for refusing to preach in Russian. The use of Polish became associated with the struggle against Russian dominance.
