Nation State - Major obstacles to nationhood e.g. provincialism and Protestantism
8 important questions on Nation State - Major obstacles to nationhood e.g. provincialism and Protestantism
What did the FWOR do in terms of effecting the monarchy and forging a nation state? Give two pieces of evidence.
- undermined the status of the crown
- ceased progress towards nationhood
e.g. The Catholic League (during the succession crises) - after the death of Anjou 1584 French Catholics were willing to look to the King of Spain (PII) for leadership & money rather than their own monarch = hardly a ringing endorsement of national unity
e.g. Huguenots called England and the Palatine for aid - foreign armies on Fr soil = no national identity
What evidence is the to suggest territorial division at the beginning of the period?
In the Duchy of Bar (the eastern frontier of France) the Duke of Lorraine paid homage to the King for 1/2 his territory and 1/2 to the HRE
What evidence is their to suggest that provinces still clung onto their own traditions despite monarch's attempts to erode customary law and codify the legal system?
Failed Pancarte (1601)
Salic Law

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Why did a shared nation outlook not emerge?
The Italian Wars and the establishment of royal Gallicanism caused resentment from the clergy (Concordat of Bologna)
Why might it be unsurprising that local interests were protected strongly?
Being part of a nation state arguably only meant an increase in taxes e.g. monarch intrusion through maitres de requetes
What was the role of a provincial estate? Why does this undermine a nation state?
Uphold customs and liberties of that provence - more tightly defended in the second half
What is an obstacle regarding nationhood and provincialism?
Though a sign of continuity they held obstacles regarding taxes e.g. resistance of new taxes or extension of old ones e.g. the pancarte and the gabelle + the pays d'etats (most significant example) as they occurred in newly acquired territory.
Why did religion undermine a nation state?
It was a catalyst for war, catholic league, calvinism + the Huguenot republic
- the Catholic league and Huguenots had foreign support = dangerous - although HIV uses foreign intervention to promote a nation state when he declared war on Spain which united France against enemy.
