  1. ESSAY WORKSHEET -DEVELOPING THE FACTS

  2. QUESTION - • Romanticism and nationalism in Europe before 1850.

  3. THESIS STATEMENT - • SEE THESIS DEVELOPMENT PAGE

  4. TOPIC SENTENCE #1 - • Romanticism and nationalism in Spain and Italy

  5. FACT #1 - • After the fall of Napoleon, Ferdinand VII Spain (chosen to rule by the Spanish) dissolved the Cortes, and ruled by Decree, eliminating any type of liberal government.

  6. FACT #2 - • An 1820 revolt by the military forced him to agree to abide by the constitution he had agreed to, restoring both liberalism through a constitutional monarchy, and Spanish nationalism.

  7. FACT #3 - • Ferdinand I agreed to a constitutional monarchy in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, fostering a sense of nationalism in this region (also in the 1820s).

  8. ANALYSIS - • These developments, brought about by Romantic liberalism, troubled Metternich of Austria because they might lead to a furthering of national ideals weakening the Habsburg Empire.

  9. TOPIC SENTENCE #2 - • Romanticism and nationalism in Greece

  10. FACT #1 - • Seen as an heroic revolt, Greece was a perfect example of how Romantic ideals led to a nationalist uprising, even bringing Romantic poets, such as Lord Byron, to Greece to fight.

  11. FACT #2 - • The weakening of the Ottoman Empire led to the development of nationalism in the Balkan region causing the major European powers to intervene, mostly for selfish reasons.

  12. FACT #3 - • The revolt in Greece was successful, with European intervention, allowing another nationalistic state to take its place in Europe.

  13. ANALYSIS - • This also caused concern among some European rulers, like Metternich and Alexander I of Russia, who had embraced conservatism after the defeat of Napoleon, and wished to maintain the status quo.

  14. TOPIC SENTENCE #3 - • Liberalism, Nationalism, and Romanticism in France

  15. FACT #1 - • After the French Revolution, Napoleon gained control in France and transformed French society, utilizing certain aspects of liberalism and nationalism (French glory and Napoleonic Code)

  16. FACT #2 - • Napoleon then set out to conquer Europe, and as he ended feudal ways he set in motion the Romantic ideals of liberalism and nationalism.

  17. FACT #3 - • The defeat of Napoleon temporarily set aside liberal rule; but, with the ascension of Louis Phillipe, and later the 1848 revolts, romantic ideals again came into play enabling Napoleon III to take power.

  18. ANALYSIS - • Although Napoleon did not consider himself to be influenced by Romanticism, he certainly used it to further nationalism. After his defeat, the French people refused to accept a return to conservatism, instead embracing liberalism and continuing strong nationalist policies.

  19. CONCLUDING STATEMENT - • Not necessary; but, many students, because of their English classes, feel compelled to write at least a concluding sentence.
