Surname 2MODERN ARCHITECTURE AS SYMBOL OF NEW NATIONS FOR THE GEOGRAPHYINTRODUCTIONThe construction or structuring of the identity of the nations by the use of the state power is referred to as the nation building. For achievement of the political stability in the country, the citizens should be united. Nation builders are people that take the initiative to develop the nation through the government programs hence fostering harmony and growth of the economy, propaganda or major development of the infrastructure. The nation building is also known as newly independent nations.METHODOLOGYNew nation State after the WWIIThe most powerful political actors in the world are the nation-states. These are ruling organizations, maintain the identity of the nation, occupation of the territory, possession of own government and consist of a larger group of people. The examples of the modern state are countries like the Japan, United States and France. The beginning of the modern nation-state wasseen in Europe and was due to the domination of the politics in Europe by the feudal lords and the Catholic Church. The political power of the church was broken by both the Renaissance and the Reformation. The search for the guidance in learning was propelled by the men of the Renaissance while those men from the Reformation had a proposal that men can go to heaven through God. The state transformation in Europe would also be dealt with by the Protestants reformation (Cooke, 20).
Surname 3The shattering of the religious entity in Europe was propelled by the protestant reformation. The vernacular language took the center stage and replaced the Latin that was originally being used. The development of interest came up against the roman based laws. The rise of the bourgeoisie middlemen in Europe led to major factor on feudalism. The migration of the people began to the west accompanied with them the wealth from the east. There was the development of the trading route between the east and the west due to the desire for wealth. There was an increase in trade and development of towns. The political power of these towns, therefore, increased since they had a wealthier ruler (Blunt, 30).Due to this development, there was the decline in the hegemonic church and the bourgeoisie class rose up leading to the development of the powerful monarch. The creation of the new state was greatly spurred by the independence movement championed by Spain and France. The nationalism rose up during this time and lead to the death of the emperor. The decline of the emperor such as the Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian empires were as a result of the World War 1. However after the World War 2, only half the modern states were involved. Hence more states were created after World War 2 due to the new anti-colonial movement (Fraser, 45). Ottoman Empire 1801-1913Destruction of Ottoman EmpireThe fight between the Ottoman Empire and the allies ended in the year 1918 but this did not create stability in this region. The Syria, Palestine, and Mesopotamia were being controlled by the British. The British, French and the Greek was forced to occupy ottoman Thrace and Constantinople. There was hope by the allies that the stability of this region would be retained even after the war. The need for the stability therefore increased in the region (Kusno, 56).
