During this "long century", several peoples become aware of their historical individuality. But the process of national claim is not the same in the Western and Eastern part of the Old Continent. In South-Eastern Europe, the modem State comes up against several resistances; this delay produces a similar one in the affirmation of the national belonging's sense. During the XIXth century, political Romantism emphasizes the differences, while the youngest nations search their own particularities, stressing the ethno-linguistic aspect, easier to identify; so, national language and national literature become identitary elements of primary importance. To develop them, they look for a model in Western Europe, finding it in the most advanced States and especially in Italy, that is still fighting for independence and national unity.
