question
Describe Hegel's philosophy of nationalism and history.
answer
Hegel's philosophy of nationalism and history is that change came about through a historical dialectic, or irresistible tendency of the Universal Spirit and the human mind to move forward by the creation of opposites. A given state of affairs (thesis) in this view would produce the conception of an opposite state of affairs(antithesis), which would be followed by a reconciliation and fusion of the two (synthesis). This synthesis became the starting point for a new thesis in the next stage of dialectical change.

Now there were more workers in the factories to produce the increasing demand for goods. Next, there was an expansion of commerce, which resulted in an increase demand and more wealth for England to build factories/machines. There was also a series of inventions, all of which created the cascading effect of invention. Politically, England had a stable government and no wars been fought internally. Similarly, England did not practice as strict a form of mercantilism as in other countries, therefore allowing for more freedom among those running businesses. Economically, there was more competition among businesses, and England had the most advanced credit and banking program of the time. Socially, England had a very mobile, talented labor force. The nobility were encouraged to engage and invest in businesses. religiously, England was Protestant, therefore they were more likely to be involved in businesses. Geography, England was blessed with tons of iron, ore, and coal in their nation. They also had an advanced transportation system.
