A) Congress of Vienna (1814-15) Held by European powers, to re-establish order, structure to society after the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars – and the downfall of Napoleon Established better balance, but only among the largest countries of Europe: 1) France 2) Germany 3) Prussia 4) Great Britain 5) Russia 6) Austria An early version of United Nations or European Union because it shows a willingness to work together Established countries sought to hold off a torrent of change and return to previous borders…what does this say about HUMAN NATURE
b) Italy - Giuseppe garibaldi (1830’s-60’s) Leads military efforts over decades to unite Italian peoples and expel others. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7BVo7fERTQ 1870, small states had been joined by Giuseppe Garibaldi to resist outsiders and seek colonial wealth/power (PRIDE!!!)
c) Germany: Otto Von Bismarck (1871-90) “The great questions of the day will not be decided by speeches and resolutions of majorities… but by blood and iron.” “The Iron Chancellor” Realpolitik – supports use of power to achieve means, removes messy values or ideals; a natural cousin of nationalism Does this remind you of anyone??? Machiavelli
Under Otto, engages in Austro-Prussian War (1866) and Franco- Prussian War (1870) to unite German States under one banner: Despite growth, Otto is forced out by ruling Kaiser Wilhelm II who seeks even greater territorial growth. Kaiser Wilhelm II would support militarism with keen interest in establishing a world-class navy… U-Boats! This would eventually lead to the Great War (I)
