Industrialization and Nationalism Practice Test

Nationalist and liberal pressures in the empire met with strong, forceful resistance from ruling authorities. In Hungary, leaders pushed for autonomy and resistance to Vienna’s centralized control, and the imperial army, with support from Russia, crushed those uprisings. The outcome was that Hungary did not gain independence and the empire maintained its grip, at least for the near term. This period illustrates how conservative powers used military force and foreign backing to suppress nationalist challenges rather than allow them to succeed. The other options don’t fit because there was no independent Hungary, the empire did not break apart at that time, and widespread peace did not prevail amid the revolts.
