Although nationalism was a significant force prior to World War I, Eastern European nations struggled to solidify because of which of the following?
  1. They were the product of war rather than unified movements.
  2. The basic implements of democracy were missing.
  3. Most of them were content to be part of an empire.
  4. Their regionally unified culture was fractured by the creation of nations.
  5. They were constantly facing threats of foreign invasion.
Explanation
Answer: A - The Eastern European nations formed after World War I struggled to come together because their independence came about more as a result of the end of the war than because of comprehensive nationalist movements. Their national boundaries were arbitrarily drawn, and the diverse ethnicities, cultures, and languages represented in the region made it difficult to determine where unified states could be formed.
