Pan-Germanism & Liberte

The images of Pan-Germanism and the French Liberty bear a striking resemblance and show nationalist fervor at the time. It is interesting that both show the state as a woman and as conquering. Both also seem to hearken back in their depictions to the ancient Greeks or Romans in a goddess like depiction of the state and of liberty. The weapons show the fight to create, protect and maintain nationalism while the scroll seems to symbolize new French principles and the German flag shows nationalism. These two pictures are strikingly similar depictions of nationalism and revolutionary fervor.The image of the Statue of Liberty also shows America's connection to Europe and European Nationalism.
