    Nationalism in 19th century music began as a result of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Nationalism influenced composers to incorporate elements of folk music, language, and history from their native countries into their compositions. This sparked a rise in compositions that celebrated national identity and inspired patriotism in newly independent nations. Notable musical nationalists included Chopin, who transformed Polish dances into art music, and the Russian Five including Mussorgsky, who composed Pictures at an Exhibition showcasing Russian musical styles and folk traditions. Nationalism had a strong impact on developing countries seeking to establish their own musical identities separate from foreign dominance.
