Topic: How far do the forces of Liberalism and Nationalism explain the drive for German Unification between 1750-1871?
Subject Area: History
Details:
The coursework is based on both primary and secondary sources, should be written in good English. It is not necessary to have a conclusion or even "other factors" in these 1500 words, just a good focus on the nationalism/liberalism (including historical interpretations and discriminating between them). The 500 word (aprox) introduction is also needed, to demonstrate different points of views of different historians (challenging sources) and other factors (such as Bismarck's diplomacy, Zolverein, etc) should be considered
