Europe in the 19th Century
Self-determination is the principle that allows a group of people to decide their own political status and pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. This idea became particularly prominent in the 19th century as various ethnic and national groups sought autonomy and independence from larger empires or states. The rise of self-determination fueled early liberal and nationalist movements, shaped liberal ideologies, and led to significant international tensions as different groups struggled for recognition and independence.
