Detailed Solution

In 1789, the French Revolution provided the first clear representation of nationalism.
The French revolutionaries used a variety of tactics to instil a sense of collective identity in the French people: they appealed to the emotions of the masses by spreading ideas that mobilised them with a sense of collective identity. They popularised the ideas of fatherland (la patrie) and citizenship (le citoyen). Hymns were written and oaths were taken in the name of the nation. Within its borders, uniform administrative and taxation regimes were established. Regional dialects were discouraged, and French was promoted as the official language of the country. A new French flag was chosen to replace the previous royal customary symbol. The National Assembly replaced the Estates-General. It was chosen by a group of active members. Finally, the French people banded together with the goal of liberating the people of Europe.
