Patterns of Change : Nationalism • Nationalist disputes between Hungarians and Austrians led to the division of the empire into two states, which by the end of WWI led to two different nation-states (countries ) • Nationalist feelings of non-Russians like the Finns, Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, and the Baltic peoples against forced Russification, combined with the Crimean War led to weakening of Russian Empire that finally crumbles in WWI. • Combination of nationalist feelings among groups in the Ottoman Empire, along with very nationalist feelings among conservative Turks attempting to spread Turkish nationalism led to disunity and conflict.
Patterns of Change : NationalismCavour • Key adviser (prime minister) of King of Sardinia proposed uniting Italy under Sardinian Monarchy. • With realpolitik cunning, allied with Napoleon III, started war with Austria, and took northern Italy by force. • Also sent money and supplies to nationalist Italians in the South Garibaldi • Like Bolivar in South America, Garibaldi led nationalist fighters to conquer Italy, uniting southern Italy, and then joining the South to King Victor Emmanuel’s Sardinia in the north to create the united Kingdom of Italy. • However, nationalist feelings amongst the small “states” in Italy helped prevent Italy united government from successfully governing
Patterns of Change : NationalismGerman Unification under Bismarck • Realpolitik – tough, realistic, practical, non-ideological politics was the basis for Bismarck using force and deceit to beat opponents like Austria and France, and manipulate French and German people into supporting a unified German Empire. • The Seven Weeks War resulted in German conquest of Northern German states taken from Austria and then was used to manipulate France to attack Germany. It was also used to manipulate southern Germans to support unification with the rest of Germany out of fear of France. • Franco-Prussian War finished German unification, creating the “Second Reich” including Southern Germany • France was defeated and set the stage for France to hate Germany, plan for future war and led to the horrors of World War I.
