Influence of the Congress of Vienna • The Congress of Vienna restored Monarchies in Europe. • Old boundaries were also restored and people were unhappy within their own countries • This unhappiness led to revolts based on nationalism and differences in political views on leadership
What events proved that Metternich was correct in his fears? At the Congress of Vienna, the powers of Europe tried to uproot the “revolutionary seed” and suppress nationalist fervor. Others, however, challenged the order imposed in 1815.
The Congress of Vienna in 1815 had been a victory for conservatives. • Conservatives shared a political ideology that opposed liberals and nationalists. • Conservatives of the early 1800 s wanted to restore the social and political order that had existed before 1789.
Conservatives had benefited under the old order and longed for its return. Conservatives They wished to also backed restore: established churches: • Royal families who had lost their thrones • Catholic in Austria during Napoleon’s and southern wars Europe • A social hierarchy in • Protestant in which the lower northern Europe classes respected and obeyed their social • Eastern Orthodox in superiors
Conservatives believed that: Ideas such as natural rights could only lead to chaos If change had to come, it must come slowly By defending peace and stability, all of society would benefit Conservatives urged monarchs to use troops to crush protests. They believed that revolutionary ideas such as freedom of the press must be suppressed.
Inspired by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, liberals and nationalists challenged conservatives. • Middle-class or “bourgeoisie” liberalism represented the interests of business owners, bankers, lawyers, editors, and writers. • Liberals called for greater individual freedom.
Liberals wanted governments based on written constitutions. They opposed: • Divine-right monarchies • The old aristocracy • Established churches They saw the role of government as protecting the individual’s freedom of thought, speech, and religion.
Liberals supported laissez-faire and the free market. They believed only those with a financial stake in society, male property owners, should be able to vote. As capitalists, they had different goals from those of the poor, working class. Only later would liberals support universal male suffrage.
Nationalists looked to unite people with common heritage. For centuries Europeans had traded lands through wars or royal marriages. Large empires such as Russia and Austria included many smaller ethnic groups. Nationalism gave people of common heritage a sense of identity.
Ideas of liberalism and nationalism spurred a number of revolts against the old order in the early 1800 s. • In southeastern and southern Europe, rebellions erupted. • The Ottoman Empire had ruled the Balkans in southeastern Europe for 300 years.
Karageorge led a Serbian revolt against the Ottomans between 1804 and 1813. Although unsuccessful, the fight increased Serbian nationalism and led to a revival of Serbian literature and culture.
In 1815, Milos Obrenovic led a second, successful revolt. The Serbians were aided by Russia, which shared a similar language and the same religion. Orthodox With Russian help, Serbia gained autonomy within the Ottoman empire. The Ottoman sultan later agreed to formal independence; Russia would continue to play a major role in Serbia.
In 1821, Greeks revolted against Ottoman rule. A long, bloody struggle united Greeks. Their leaders called the struggle “a national war, a holy war, a war the object of which is to reconquer the rights of individual liberty. ” European powers supported Greece, but later pressured the Greeks to accept a German king, showing their opposition to revolutionary nationalism
In the 1820 s, revolts also occurred in Spain, Portugal, and the Italian peninsula. • Prince Metternich urged conservative rulers to crush these uprisings, but troops would not be enough. • By the mid 1800 s, there were calls for liberal rebels to overthrow the old order and to use socialism to reorganize
Summary Section 1 • The French Revolution created a revolutionary environment in Europe • Many Liberals and Nationalists favored democracy and rebelling against empires that were restored by the Congress of Vienna • Members of the Congress of Vienna will try and stop revolutions and encourage monarchies • Biggest empires in Europe at the time-Russian, Ottoman and Austrian

Scenario • If your parents refuse to let you go out on the weekend do you disobey and sneak out anyways in defiance? • If they caught you would they lay down the law and give you stricter curfews and rules? • How would you react to that?
Now, lets tie that in to history • Say the French in 1830 still were not happy with their government (Napoleon is long gone and they have a King again) • What do you think they did? • How do you think the other countries in Europe reacted?

What were the causes and effects of the revolutions in Europe in 1830 and 1848? The quick suppression of liberal and nationalist uprisings in the 1820 s did not end Europe’s age of revolutions. In 1830 and again in 1848, Europeans saw street protests explode into fullscale revolts.
In 1824 Charles X took the throne in France. • A conservative believer in absolute monarchy, he suspended the legislature, limited the right to vote, and restricted the press in July 1830. • Liberals and radicals took to the streets in protest.
The rioters forced Charles to abdicate. Radicals wanted to form a republic, but liberals insisted on a constitutional monarchy under Louis Philippe.
• Louis Philippe filled his government with liberals Called the “citizen king, ” Louis Philippe got along well with the liberal bourgeoisie. • He dressed like the middle class and walked the city streets greeting citizens. • He extended voting rights, but only to the wealthy. • The middle class prospered but not the working class.
The revolt in Paris was followed by similar uprisings elsewhere in Europe. • Most were suppressed by military force. • Metternich complained, “When France sneezes, Europe catches a cold. ” • Even where they failed, some rebels won limited reforms from frightened rulers.
Uprisings/Rebellions Sparked by French in 1830 • France in 1830 -Charles X steps down and moderate liberals chose Louis Philippe as King • Belgium-success against the Dutch • Poland-failure controlled by Russia • France in 1848 -Revolt against Louis Philippemonarch-Louis Napoleon will take over • Austrian Empire-Hungary, Czech –not successfulput down by military force • Italy against Austrian Empire-unsuccessful • Germany-unsuccessful
