AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Jacobin clubs were set up by students and educated middle-class people in European cities after the news of the French Revolution spread. Their activities and campaigns prepared the way for French armies that moved into Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy in the 1790s, thereby carrying the idea of nationalism abroad.

The question is directly answered by one paragraph in the textbook. Examiners expect two clear points: (1) who set up Jacobin clubs and where, and (2) what they achieved — paving the way for French armies that spread nationalist ideas. Avoid vague statements; use the specific countries named in the passage. No need to discuss Napoleon or the French Revolution itself beyond this context.
