    How did liberalism give rise to economic nationalism?

    Answer:

    Liberalism advocated freedom of individuals in all spheres.
    In post-revolutionary period Napoleon introduced uniform Civil Code, unified administration, abolished vexatious custom duties on goods, standardised weights and measures and introduced uniform currency, in all the areas that came under his control. People, though belonged to different regions felt like one nation.
    By encouraging unhindered movement of commercial goods and by removing obstacles to economic exchange she was able to generate a sense of belonging among people. This was the genesis of economic nationalism which ultimately strengthened national feeling. Network of railways for free movement among various regions and harnessing of economic interests help in national unification. Thus liberalism is closely related to economic nationalism.
