## Answer key

1. B) The French Revolution and Napoleonic era. Outcome 1.9 names the French Revolution and Napoleonic era as a specific example used to analyze nationalism as identity and collective consciousness ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24623)).

2. Sample answer: Contending loyalties, such as those between Canadian nationalism and Québécois nationalism, must be reconciled because a state or society made up of multiple nationalist identities requires a framework that allows these loyalties to coexist without fracturing civic unity. Outcome 1.10 directs students to evaluate this importance directly ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24624)).

3. True. Outcome 2.4 states that students will explore the relationship between nationalism and the pursuit of national interest ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24630)).

4. 25 years. Subtracting 1914 from 1939 gives 25, the span outcome 2.7 asks students to consider when analyzing nationalism and ultranationalism as causes of the First and Second World Wars ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24633)).

5. B) Decolonization movements. Outcome 2.9 lists decolonization among the examples used to analyze impacts of the pursuit of national self-determination ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24635)).

6. Sample answer: A student might cite Québécois nationalism as an example, explaining that it supports the idea of nation as the foundation of identity by grounding a shared linguistic and cultural identity in a distinct nation, while also illustrating tension with a broader Canadian civic identity. This general outcome frames the exploration of identity, nation and nationalism throughout the course ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/24614)).
