-1/2 is the correct answer
Right after the civil war, economic crisis incurred immediately. Inflation was already rampant during this time and debt was present. The call for a national government was necessary because of the tensions of national debt and the plummeting of the value of the dollar.
In 1786, the Legislature of Virginia asked the states to send delegates to a convention in order to have a formal constitution, although some didn't send delegates, they met in Philadelphia to draft a constitution. The Great Compromise was done here, allowing the creation of a strong national government while the states have their individual roles that contributed to the country. The Bill of Rights was forged and signed to satisfy radical Anti-Federalists. Then came the struggle of appointing leaders to uphold the Constitution. George Washington became the first president. America was now transformed into a new nation.
The self-determination of states, the principle that peoples, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference, developed throughout the modern period alongside nationalism.
During and especially after World War I, there was a renewed commitment to self-determination and a major influx of new states formed out of the collapsed empires of Europe: the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.
Many new states formed in Eastern Europe, some out of the 1918 Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, where Russia renounced claims on Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania, and some from the various treaties that came out of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
These new countries tended to have substantial ethnic minorities who wished to unite with neighboring states where their ethnicity dominated (for example, example, Czechoslovakia had Germans, Poles, Ruthenians and Ukrainians, Slovaks, and Hungarians), which led to political instability and conflict.
The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire became a pivotal milestone in the creation of the modern Middle East, the result of which bore witness to the creation of new conflicts and hostilities in the region.
