  7. III. Examples of Nationalism A. GERMANY What happened from 1865-1871… • Congress of Vienna (meeting of European powers after Napoleon’s defeat) aimed to… - restore balance of power in Europe - take away freedoms people had gained - put royals back on their thrones Restore the status quo

  8. DURING NAPOLEON – 1790 AFTER CONGRESS OF VIENNA- 1815

  9. 2. This puts the French in charge of some German states. French change several laws which angers the German people. 3. This leads to the rise of nationalism in Germany.

  10. 4. Two most powerful German states are: Austria & Prussia • Prussia takes the lead toward unification • Prussian King = William I (only a figure head) • King’s Chancellor = Otto von Bismark (really in charge)

  11. 5. Bismark is known as the architect of German unity • HIS PLAN is called “Blood and Iron” • Blood – War to take control of German speaking states • Iron – use of German states resources of iron and coal to build a powerful industrial country

  12. HIS POLICY is called “Realpolitik” • politics based on the realistic needs of the state • “The ends justify the means.” = Do whatever is necessary as long as the goal (unification of Germany) is accomplished. What Renaissance thinker did this idea come from? Niccolo Macchiavelli’s The Prince

  13. “…It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the strong.” ~Otto von Bismark What perspective that originated during the Industrial Revolution does this quote reflect? Social Darwinism

  14. He created a powerful Prussian army = in pursuit of aggressive foreign policy

  15. 6. Three Wars and German Unification Three Wars over the span of 10 years • Schleswig and Holstein (1864) • Prussia and Austria attack Denmark for control of these two German speaking states • They win- Austria gets Holstein, Prussia gets Schleswig

  16. b. War with Austria (1866) • Also called the Seven Weeks War • Bismark provoked Austria to fight • Prussia annexed Holstein and other northern German states • This allowed Prussia to remain independent

  17. c. Franco-Prussian War (1870) • France fears Prussia’s growing power • Bismark inspires nationalism b/c Prussians still resents Napoleon’s occupation • “Incidents” lead to war • Prussian army crushes the French army

  19. Germany industrializes (power rivals Britain) • Bismark (a Lutheran) institutes kulturkampf (“battle for civilization”) laws that discriminated against Catholics and other religions

  20. B. Italy • Italy is divided into 12 small states.

  22. Important individuals who had an impact: • Giuseppe Mazzini • Organizes Young Italians- secret nationalistic society “Ideas grow quickly when watered by the blood of martyrs.”

  23. Count Camillo di Cavour • Prime Minister of Sardinia under King Victor Emmanuel II • Sardinia allies with France to drive Austrians out of Lombardy (a northern Italian state) • In 1860, Parma, Modena and Tuscany join with Sardinia, which unites northern Italy
