10. AmericaThe Declaration of Independence The Congress sent an Olive Branch Petition to King George III of England. This petition, written by moderates, expressed the colonists’ loyalty to the king and requested a halt in fighting until a solution could be found. The king refused the petition.

11. June 1776 In June 1776, after more than a year of war, the Congress decided it was time for the colonies to cut ties with Britain. They prepared a statement of the reasons for separation—a Declaration of Independence. Drafted Thomas Jefferson.

12. Drafting a Declaration Thomas Jefferson’s political ideas were influenced by the Enlightenment, an eighteenth-century European movement that emphasized science and reason as keys to improving society. Jefferson divided the Declaration into four sections: The preamble, or introduction, explained the Declaration’s purpose. In the declaration of rights, Jefferson drew heavily on the writings of John Locke. People have natural rights—rights that belong to them simply because they are human. Jefferson called these unalienable rights. In the complaints against the king, Jefferson wrote that public officials must make decisions based on the law, not on their own personal wishes. He called this a rule of law. The resolution, in declaring the colonies free and independent states, concluded the Declaration. Jefferson’s document not only declared the nation’s independence, it also defined the basic principles on which American government and society would rest. Congressional delegates voted to approve the Declaration on July 4, 1776.

13. The Foundations of Democracy

14. “Remember the Ladies” In the 1770s, John Adams was one of the leaders of the opposition to British rule. His wife, Abigail Adams, expressed her opinions about independence in a letter to him. In this letter Abigail asked John to “Remember the Ladies” in the new code of law. She asked him not to put unlimited power in the hands of husbands. Her complaints about the status of women in the society employed the same ideas that men were using in their fight against Great Britain. Abigail suggested that it was time to rethink the relationship between men and women. Earlier in the same letter, Abigail raised the issue of slavery. She felt it contradictory for the delegates to speak of liberty for themselves and not for all. However, John felt that the question of slavery would divide the delegates when unity was most crucial for success. The questions raised by Abigail Adams, of liberty and equality for all people, were very important. However, John Adams believed that it was more important to win the war than to engage in a debate about liberty for all.

40. What is Nationalism? Nationalism is pride in ones nation. Often mixed with racism and a belief that their country and ethnicity were superior.

41. Germany & Otto Von Bismarck “The great questions of the day are not to be decided by speeches and majority resolutions…but by blood and iron.” Otto Von Bismarck used the Nationalist feelings sweeping Europe to unite Germany for the first time since the Holy Roman Empire. Germany had been a series of small and medium size countries and principalities. He was the master of words he knew what to say and when to say it.

42. Prussia Using his power as chancellor of Prussia, Bismarck embarked on the unification of the German state. He practiced “Realpolitik” the focus on the realistic needs of the state. Power is more important then principles. Prussia continued to build their military. Extended the vote to all men

44. German Wars of Unification Prussia went to war with Denmark and acquired land that had mostly German speaking people. Prussia then annexed several small German speaking states. Prussia then provoked a war with France and kicked the crap out of them and took more land. The Remaining Southern German state after seeing France lose, decided to join with Prussia and form the new German Empire. It was called the Second Reich. (Holy Roman Empire was the First Reich and Hitler formed the Third Reich) Bismarck staged the wars to create opportunities.

46. Unification of Italy Giuseppe Mazzini pushed for unification in a secret organization called “Young Italy” Count Camillo Cavour used Realpolitik to create an alliance that made it possible for Sardinia to defeat Austria and claim the country of Lombardy in northern Italy. Giuseppe Garibaldi led a band of 1000 men financed by Cavour to Sicily where he quickly conquered and led his men into southern Italy. Many different leaders helped unite Italy.

47. Victor Emmanuel Victor Emmanuel the constitutional monarch of Sardinia led a military force that over through the Papal State then linked up with Garibaldi. Garibaldi turned all conquered territory over to Victor. Bismarck negotiated a deal where France and Austria were forced to give back all Italian land. For the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire Italy was united as a country.

48. Nationalism a threat to Old Empires Old Empires typically had many different ethnic groups who spoke different languages. These different ethnic groups wanted their own countries. “Sovereignty or self government” Example: Greece for the Greeks. Democracy and Nationalism are the two dual threats to the Autocracy of Europe.
