    Study Notes

    The Rise of Nationalism in Europe

    • Frédéric Sorrieu's Vision (1848): French artist created prints depicting a world of democratic and social republics, showcasing diverse peoples uniting under the Statue of Liberty.
    • Symbolism: Sorrieu used the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of enlightenment, amidst shattered symbols of absolutist institutions, signifying the struggle against oppressive governments.
    • National Identity: Nations were visually represented by distinct flags and costumes, reflecting a growing sense of national consciousness in Europe and America.

    Liberal Nationalism

    • Definition: Liberal nationalism combined the ideals of nationalism with the principles of liberalism, prioritizing individual freedom and equality before the law.
    • Political Emphasis: Advocated for government by consent, abolishing autocracy, and establishing representative government while upholding private property rights.
    • Voting Rights: Initially restricted; suffrage was limited to property-owning men, excluding women and non-propertied individuals, reflecting ongoing inequality in political rights.

    Revolutions of 1848

    • Social Upheaval: Revolts were driven by the poor and unemployed, alongside a middle-class-led revolution seeking national unity and representation in government.
    • German National Movement: German nationalists aimed to unify various states into a nation-state. Efforts were repressed by monarchy and military forces, with substantial support from landowners (Junkers).
    • Bismarck's Role: Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian chief minister, was crucial in unifying Germany through three strategic wars against Austria, Denmark, and France, ultimately leading to the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871.

    Proclamation of the German Empire

    • Date and Location: January 18, 1871, at the Palace of Versailles, where Kaiser William I of Prussia was declared Emperor of Germany.
    • Political Context: Unification emphasized Prussian state power and modernizing systems such as currency, banking, and the legal framework, consolidating authority.

    Irish National Identity

    • Irish Struggles: Ireland was divided between Catholics and Protestants, with British dominance heavily suppressing Catholic uprisings and promoting Protestant control.
    • Incorporation into the UK: Following the failed revolt of Wolfe Tone’s United Irishmen, Ireland was forcibly integrated into the United Kingdom in 1801, leading to the promotion of a dominant English culture, often at the expense of Irish identity.
    • Cultural Imposition: Signs of British nationalism included the Union Jack, national anthems, and the English language, overshadowing local cultures.

    General Observations

    • Social Movement Dynamics: Women and non-propertied men actively campaigned for equal political rights throughout the 19th century, facing oppression in their demands.
    • Legacy of Nationalism: Late 19th-century nationalism shaped the political landscape of Europe, influencing both nationalist movements and struggles for rights among various social classes.
