Thus, for example, Bavarians, Saxons, Prussians, Swabians and numerous other regional identities were all absorbed into the single entity of modern Germany. The urban industrial economy assimilated many of those distinct regional identities and forged a single culture.

Among the Basques of Spain or the Corsicans of France, this has taken the form of separatist violence. Among the Scots it has been largely confined to the soccer field.
