Question

Which of the following was NOT a Nation-State?

विकल्प

• France

• Russia

• Germany

• Holland

Answer 1

Russia

Explanation:

A nation-state refers to a state where the majority of its population shares a common culture, language, and identity. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Russia was a vast empire, not a nation-state. It was a multiethnic empire with many different nationalities and cultures, including Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, and others. In contrast, countries like France, Germany, and Holland had more homogeneous populations and functioned as nation-states.
