    Historical Context

    • The French Revolution (1789) introduced the idea of popular sovereignty and the notion that the state should reflect the will of the people.
    • Napoleon Bonaparte's rise and the Napoleonic Code (1804) spread revolutionary ideals across Europe, focusing on equality and abolishing feudal privileges.
    • The Treaty of Vienna (1815), following Napoleon's defeat, aimed to restore the old order and suppress nationalist movements. This involved restoring monarchies and conservative rule across Europe.

    Ideological Conflicts
