How could modernisation strenghten traditional institutions? class 10 his ch 1

Answer»

European governments were DRIVEN by the spirit of Conservatism after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. 1. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society-the Church, social HIERARCHIES, property and family-should be preserved. 2. They also realized that modernization COULD strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy and a return to the society of the pre-revolutionary days was not required. This could, eventually, contribute towards making state power more effective and strong. 3. The belief that abolition of feudalism and serfdom, REPLACING it with a modern army, an efficient bureaucracy and a strong ECONOMY could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe.
