Created by Turbolearn AI The Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe The Congress of Vienna was a gathering of statesmen in 1814, led by Prince Klemens von Metternich, with the goal of arranging a final peace settlement after the defeat of Napoleon. The congress was attended by representatives of all the states that had fought against Napoleon, and its main objective was to restore the old order and maintain stability in Europe. The Principle of Legitimacy The principle of legitimacy was a guiding concept at the Congress of Vienna, which aimed to restore legitimate monarchs to their thrones. According to Metternich, this principle was necessary to preserve traditional institutions and maintain peace and stability in Europe. The principle of legitimacy is the idea that monarchs and governments derive their authority from a legitimate source, such as hereditary succession or divine right, rather than from the consent of the governed. The Balance of Power The Congress of Vienna also aimed to establish a new balance of power in Europe, to prevent any one country from dominating the continent. This was achieved through a series of territorial rearrangements, including the creation of a new Kingdom of the Netherlands and the strengthening of Prussia and Austria. Country Territorial Gain/Loss Prussia Gained two-fifths of Saxony and the east bank of the Rhine Austria Gained control of Lombardy and Venetia Russia Gained control of Poland France Lost significant territory, including the Austrian Netherlands The Concert of Europe Page 1 Created by Turbolearn AI The Concert of Europe was a system of diplomacy and collective security established by the Congress of Vienna, with the goal of maintaining peace and stability in Europe. The concert was based on the principles of cooperation and collective action, and it played a key role in preventing major conflicts in Europe for several decades. The Concert of Europe was characterized by regular meetings and negotiations between European powers It aimed to prevent the rise of any one power and maintain a balance of power in Europe It was successful in preventing major conflicts in Europe for several decades, but ultimately failed to prevent the rise of nationalism and imperialism in the late 19th century Key Concepts Nationalism: the idea that a nation should have its own independent government and be free from foreign control Liberalism: the idea that individuals should have certain rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech and assembly Conservatism: the idea that traditional institutions and social hierarchies should be preserved and maintained Romanticism: an artistic and literary movement that emphasized emotion, imagination, and individualism The Revolutions of 1848 The revolutions of 1848 were a wave of uprisings and revolts that swept across Europe, driven by demands for democracy, nationalism, and social justice. The revolutions were ultimately unsuccessful in achieving their goals, but they marked an important turning point in European history and paved the way for the rise of modern nation-states. Page 2 Created by Turbolearn AI The revolutions of 1848 were characterized by widespread violence and unrest They were driven by a range of factors, including economic hardship, political oppression, and nationalist sentiment They ultimately failed to achieve their goals, but they had a lasting impact on European history and politics## The Conservative Order The Conservative Order was a period of time from 1815 to 1830, where the main goal was to maintain the stability of political institutions and prevent any further revolutions. This was achieved through the Concert of Europe, a system where European Powers would work together to maintain peace and stability on the continent. Key Figures Klemens von Metternich: An Austrian statesman who played a key role in shaping the Conservative Order. He believed in the importance of maintaining monarchies and preventing liberal and nationalist movements. Edmund Burke: An Irish philosopher who wrote about the importance of tradition and stability in society. His ideas influenced the development of conservatism. Definitions The Concert of Europe was a system where European powers would work together to maintain peace and stability on the continent. This was achieved through a series of congresses, where representatives from different countries would meet to discuss and resolve issues. The Quadruple Alliance The Quadruple Alliance was formed in 1815, with the goal of preventing France from becoming a dominant power in Europe again. The alliance consisted of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain. However, Britain later refused to agree to the Principle of Intervention, which allowed the other powers to interfere in the internal affairs of other states. Congresses The following table summarizes the key congresses that took place during the Conservative Order: Page 3 Created by Turbolearn AI Congress Year Location Outcome Congress of Aix- Aix-la- 1818 Withdrawal of occupation forces from France la-Chapelle Chapelle Congress of Authorization of Austrian troops to suppress 1820 Troppau Troppau revolts in Italy Congress of Authorization of Austrian troops to suppress 1821 Laibach Laibach revolts in Naples and Piedmont Congress of Authorization of French troops to invade 1822 Verona Verona Spain and restore the Bourbon monarchy The Principle of Intervention The Principle of Intervention was a policy that allowed the Quadruple Alliance powers to interfere in the internal affairs of other states. This was used to suppress revolts and liberal movements in Italy and Spain. The principle was controversial, and Britain refused to agree to it. Outcomes The Conservative Order was successful in maintaining stability and preventing revolutions in Europe for a period of time. However, it also led to the suppression of liberal and nationalist movements, and the restoration of monarchies in Italy and Spain. The Principle of Intervention was also used to justify the use of force to maintain order and stability.## The Concert of Europe and the Principle of Intervention The Concert of Europe had broken down when the results of the revolution threatened other states. The principle of intervention meant that the great powers of Europe had the right to send armies into countries where there were revolutions to restore legitimate monarchs to their thrones. The principle of intervention was a doctrine that allowed European powers to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries to maintain stability and restore legitimate monarchs. The Revolt of Latin America Page 4 Created by Turbolearn AI Much of North America had been freed of European domination in the 18th century by the American Revolution. However, Latin America remained in the hands of the Spanish and Portuguese. The Liberators of South America, including Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar, led the fight for independence in Latin America. Key Figures in the Latin American Independence Movement Jose de San Martin: Led the fight for independence in Argentina, Chile, and Peru Simon Bolivar: Led the fight for independence in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru The Monroe Doctrine In 1823, President James Monroe introduced the Monroe Doctrine, which guaranteed the independence of the new Latin American nations and warned against any further European intervention in the New World. The Monroe Doctrine was a policy introduced by President James Monroe that stated the United States would not tolerate further European colonization in the Americas. Economic Independence in Latin America Although Latin America gained political independence, it did not mean economic independence. Old patterns were quickly reestablished, with Great Britain dominating the Latin American economy instead of Spain and Portugal.

British merchants and investors poured into Latin America, dominating the economy and trade. British influence in Latin America was significant, with British merchants and investors playing a major role in the economy and trade of the region.## The Conservative Order 1815 − 1830 The period between 1815 and 1830 was marked by a Conservative Order in Europe, characterized by a desire to maintain the existing social and political order. This was achieved through the Congress of Vienna, which established a system of balance of power to prevent any single country from dominating the others. Key Players The key players in this period included: Metternich: The Austrian statesman who played a crucial role in shaping the Conservative Order Prince Klemens Von Metternich: The chief agent of the Habsburg empire, who boasted of being the "chief Minister of Police in Europe" King Frederick William III: The King of Prussia, who instituted political and institutional reforms in response to Prussia's defeat at the hands of Napoleon Definitions The Congress of Vienna was a conference of European powers that took place in 1815, with the aim of reorganizing Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. Balance of power refers to a system in which multiple countries or powers are balanced against each other, to prevent any single country from dominating the others. Liberalism is a political ideology that emphasizes individual freedom, equality, and democracy. The Situation in France In France, the ultraroyalists gained power in 1824, with the death of Louis XVIII and the succession of Charles X. The ultraroyalists sought to restore the monarchical system and the Catholic Church to their former positions of influence. Page 6 Created by Turbolearn AI The Situation in Central Europe In central Europe, the Habsburg empire and Prussia were the dominant powers. The Germanic Confederation was established, but it had little power and was largely ineffective. Table: The Germanic Confederation State Description Austria Dominant power in the Germanic Confederation Prussia Second-largest power in the Germanic Confederation Other Varied in size and influence, but were generally smaller and less powerful states than Austria and Prussia Intervention in the Italian States and Spain The Congress of Vienna established nine states in Italy, including Piedmont, The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the Papal States. The Austrian emperor had significant influence in these states, and the northern provinces of Lombardy and Venetia were under Austrian control. Bullet Points: Key Events The ultraroyalists gained power in France in 1824 The Congress of Vienna established the Germanic Confederation in 1815 The Habsburg empire and Prussia were the dominant powers in central Europe The Italian states were established by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 The Spanish revolution was crushed by French troops in 1823## Introduction to 19th Century European Politics The Austrian Empire was a multinational state, a collection of peoples under the Habsburg rule, including Germans, Hungarians, Slovaks, Slovenes, Poles, Serbs, and Italians. The Germans, economically the most advanced, played a significant role in the empire. Nationalism and Liberalism Page 7 Created by Turbolearn AI Nationalism became important during this time period as people began to identify with their nation and demand self-governance. Liberalism, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of individual rights and freedoms. The Burschenschaften, a student movement, emerged in Germany, promoting national unity and liberalism. Nationalism is an ideology that emphasizes the importance of national identity and self-governance. Liberalism is a political ideology that emphasizes individual rights and freedoms, and advocates for limited government intervention. Key Figures and Events Metternich: The Austrian statesman who opposed nationalism and liberalism, and implemented the Karlsbad Decrees to suppress these movements. Heinrich von Gagern: A German liberal who explained the purpose of the Burschenschaften to his father, emphasizing the importance of national unity and liberalism. Ferdinand VII: The King of Spain who restored the Bourbon dynasty and initially agreed to observe the liberal constitution of 1812, but later reneged on his promises. Economic Liberalism Economic liberalism, also known as classical economics, had as its primary tenet the concept of laissez-faire, which holds that the state should not interrupt the free play of natural economic forces. The key principles of economic liberalism are: Principle Description The state should not interrupt the free play of natural Laissez-faire economic forces Individual economic The state should not restrain the economic liberty of liberty individuals Limited government The state should restrict itself to only three primary functions: intervention defense, police protection, and public works The Decembrist Revolt Page 8 Created by Turbolearn AI The Decembrist Revolt was a rebellion against the accession of Nicholas I to the throne of Russia. The revolt was led by military leaders who favored the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and the abolition of serfdom. The revolt was crushed, and its leaders were executed, leading to a period of reactionary rule under Nicholas I. Key Terms Nationalism: An ideology that emphasizes the importance of national identity and self-governance Liberalism: A political ideology that emphasizes individual rights and freedoms, and advocates for limited government intervention Economic liberalism: A economic ideology that emphasizes individual economic liberty and limited government intervention Laissez-faire: The concept that the state should not interrupt the free play of natural economic forces Serfdom: A system of feudalism in which peasants are bound to the land and are required to provide labor and services to the landowner## Introduction to 19th Century Ideologies The 19th century was marked by the rise of various ideologies that shaped the course of European history. Two prominent ideologies of this time were Conservatism and Liberalism. Conservatism Conservatism was characterized by a desire to maintain the existing social and political order. Tsar Nicholas of Russia was a key figure in the conservative movement, and his policies were aimed at preventing revolution and maintaining control over the population. The Malthusian theory, which stated that population growth would eventually outstrip food supply, leading to poverty and starvation, was used to justify conservative policies. Liberalism Liberalism, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of individual freedom and civil liberties. Liberals believed in the principles of equality before the law, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. These principles were enshrined in documents such as the American Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. Page 9 Created by Turbolearn AI The core of liberal ideology is the belief that individuals should be free to pursue their own goals and interests as long as they do not harm others. This is often summarized as the principle of laissez-faire, or non- interference in the affairs of others. Key Liberal Demands Liberals made several key demands, including: Constitutional monarchy: a system of government in which the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution Ministerial responsibility: the idea that government ministers should be accountable to the legislative branch Representative assembly: a legislative body elected by qualified voters Limited suffrage: the right to vote should be limited to certain groups, such as property owners Theories of Population Growth Theories of population growth, such as those proposed by Malthus and Ricardo, played a significant role in shaping liberal and conservative ideologies. The iron law of wages, which states that an increase in population will lead to a decrease in wages, was used to argue that population growth must be controlled in order to prevent poverty and starvation. Theorist Theory Key Points Population growth will Poverty and starvation will result from Malthus outstrip food supply unchecked population growth An increase in population will lead to a decrease Ricardo Iron law of wages in wages, resulting in poverty and starvation John Stuart Mill and Liberalism John Stuart Mill was a key figure in the development of liberal ideology. His work, On Liberty, argued that individuals should be free to pursue their own goals and interests as long as they do not harm others. Mill believed that the tyranny of the majority was a significant threat to individual freedom, and that protection against the tyranny of prevailing opinion was necessary to ensure that individuals could express their own opinions and beliefs. Page 10 Created by Turbolearn AI The tyranny of the majority occurs when the majority uses its power to suppress the rights and freedoms of minority groups. This can be prevented by protecting individual rights and freedoms, and by ensuring that the power of the majority is limited by a system of checks and balances.## Early Socialism Early socialism was largely the product of political theorists or intellectuals. The term eventually became associated with a Marxist analysis of human society. Key Figures Some key figures in early socialism include: Charles Fourier: proposed the creation of small model communities called phalansteries, which were self-contained cooperatives Robert Owen: believed that humans would reveal their true natural goodness if they lived in a cooperative environment, and was successful in transforming a squalid factory town into a flourishing, healthy community at New Lanark in Scotland Louis Blanc: offered another early socialist approach to a better society, and argued that social problems could be solved by government assistance Utopian Socialism Utopian socialism was characterized by a belief in the possibility of creating a perfect society. Utopian socialists proposed a variety of ways to accomplish this task, including: Creating voluntary associations that would demonstrate the advantages of cooperative living Establishing self-contained cooperative communities Providing equal education and job opportunities for women Nationalism Nationalism was an even more powerful ideology for change in the nineteenth century. Nationalism arose out of an awareness of being part of a community that has common institutions, historical traditions, language, and customs. Page 11 Created by Turbolearn AI Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of national identity and the unity of a nation. Relationship Between Nationalism and Liberalism In the first half of the nineteenth century, nationalism and liberalism became strong allies. Most liberals believed that liberty could be realized only by peoples who ruled themselves. Women's Rights Many utopian socialists attracted female supporters who believed that only a reordering of society would help women. Some notable female utopian socialists include: Zoe Gatti de Gamond: a Belgian follower of Fourier who established her own phalanstery Flora Tristan: a French utopian socialist who advocated for the absolute equality of men and women Claire Demar: a French utopian socialist who published a newspaper that combined scientific thought, socialism, and feminism Map 21.3: The Distribution of Languages in Nineteenth- Century Europe The distribution of languages in nineteenth-century Europe is shown in Map 21.3. The map highlights the diversity of languages spoken in Europe, with many languages often corresponding to shared histories and cultures.

They were a new social class that had emerged as a result of the Industrial Revolution, and they were driven by a desire for liberalism and democracy. Page 13 Created by Turbolearn AI The bourgeoisie is a social class that is characterized by their ownership of the means of production, such as factories and land. They are often seen as the driving force behind the development of capitalism and the emergence of modern industrial society. The Reform Act of 1832 in Great Britain The Reform Act of 1832 was a significant piece of legislation that was passed in Great Britain. It aimed to reform the electoral system and increase the number of people who were eligible to vote.

Comparison of Macaulay's and Schurz's Ideas The ideas of Thomas Babington Macaulay and Carl Schurz differed significantly, with Macaulay emphasizing the importance of gradual reform and Schurz advocating for more radical change. The following table highlights the key differences between their ideas: Idea Macaulay Schurz Gradual and Radical and Reform incremental comprehensive Emphasized Emphasized social Liberalism individual rights and economic and freedoms equality Saw nationalism Saw nationalism as Nationalism as a unifying a potential source of force conflict The year 1848 was marked by a series of revolutions that swept across Europe, including France, Germany, and Italy. These revolutions were driven by a desire for liberal reforms, nationalism, and democracy. The French Revolution of 1848 Page 16 Created by Turbolearn AI In France, the revolution of 1848 was sparked by a combination of factors, including economic hardship, political repression, and the influence of socialist and republican ideologies. The revolution led to the overthrow of King Louis-Philippe and the establishment of the Second Republic. The Second Republic was a republican government that was established in France after the revolution of 1848. It was characterized by a presidential system, with a legislature elected by male suffrage. The new government faced significant challenges, including a growing split between moderate republicans and radical socialists. The radicals, who were influenced by the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, advocated for more extreme measures to address the economic and social problems facing France. The German Revolutions of 1848 In Germany, the revolutions of 1848 were driven by a desire for national unity and liberal reforms. The Frankfurt Assembly, which was established in 1848, was a key institution in the German revolutions. It was composed of representatives from various German states and was tasked with drafting a constitution for a unified Germany. The following table summarizes the key events and figures of the German revolutions: Event Date Description Frankfurt Assembly 1848 Established to draft a constitution for a unified Germany Grossdeutsch 1848 Proposed the inclusion of Austria in a unified Germany solution Kleindeutsch 1848 Proposed the exclusion of Austria from a unified Germany solution Frederick William King of Prussia who refused to accept the title of Emperor 1848 IV of the Germans The Italian Revolutions of 1848 Page 17 Created by Turbolearn AI In Italy, the revolutions of 1848 were driven by a desire for national unity and independence from Austrian rule. The Risorgimento, which was a movement for Italian unification, was led by figures such as Giuseppe Mazzini and Cristina Belgioioso.
