Nationalism failed to unify Russia and Austria-Hungary in the late nineteenth century. Both countries were multi-ethnic empires, and the nationalist movements within their borders often conflicted with each other, hindering efforts at unification. Germany and Italy, on the other hand, were successfully unified through nationalist movements in the late nineteenth century, while Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal were already relatively unified nations with strong central governments.
