Examine the importance of nationalism in the rise of two independence movements, each from a different region.

The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between the importance of nationalism and independence movements. The two movements must be from different regions, but they may or may not have been contemporaneous with each other. The emergence of the movements may predate or extend beyond the timeframe, but they must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may offer equal coverage of each independence movement, or they may prioritize their examination of one over the other. A comparative approach may or may not be used. While other relevant interrelationships, for example the importance of leadership, the experience of war or the nature of colonial rule, may be considered, the bulk of the response will remain on the issue raised in the question.
