(en) In most European countries, education can be analysed as an institution of which the first historical role was to produce a Nation-State. It was the case for Germany, France, Italy and Spain, as many countries that looked to strengthen their unity leaning on diverse institutional tools in charge of spreading standard cultural and linguistic marks among the whole population in order to create national identity and citizenship. History of those countries was marked by aggressive political decisions by which authorities wanted to influence deeply and lastly the elements of common culture and their languages of transmission. In no case, imposition operated without harming. Territories on the periphery of countries with a unified language have kept the remembering of their more or less lively and explicit resisting imposition by the centre of cultural heritage in which they couldn't find any marks of their traditions.
