At the time, the lands of the Adriatic formed a maritime community whose people spoke different languages and practised different faiths, but identified themselves as belonging to a single region of the Habsburg Empire. While these activists hoped that nationhood could be used to strengthen cultural bonds, they also feared nationalism's homogenising effects and its potential for violence Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Subject Nationalism -- Croatia -- Dalmatia -- History -- 19th century Nationalism -- Italy -- Trieste -- History -- 19th century Nationalism -- Italy -- Venice -- History -- 19th century Cultural pluralism -- Croatia -- Dalmatia -- History -- 19th century Cultural pluralism -- Italy -- Trieste -- History -- 19th century Cultural pluralism -- Italy -- Venice -- History -- 19th century POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Essays.
