Jacobin Clubs
The revolutionaries were of the view and declared that it was the mission as well as the destiny of the people of the French nation for liberating the people of French from despotism and help other peoples of Europe to become nations and nation-states.
When the news spread of what was happening in France to other cities, students and other members of the educated middle classes started to set up Jacobin clubs. The activities and the campaigns in the Jacobin Clubs prepared the way for French armies which moved into Holland, Switzerland, and Italy by the 1790s. With the spread of revolutionary wars, French armies spread the idea of nationalism to the countries abroad.
French Revolution and the Idea of the Nation

France was declared a full-fledged territorial state in 1789 and came under an absolute monarch. However, the political and constitutional changes that came about with the French Revolution helped in the transfer of sovereignty from the monarch to the body of French citizens that constituted the nation and helped in shaping its destiny.
