A reaction against the French rev. • Liberalism: Enlightenment/Fr rev ideals (individual freedoms) desire constitutions and natural rights • Nationalism: Love of country or a desire of a people who share a common language, history and culture to have a country

  3. Goals of The Congress of Vienna(Sept 1814-June 1815) • Led by Prince Klemens Von Metternich • Concept: “to uproot the revolutionary seed” and maintain the balance of power • Goals: To stop liberalism and nationalism, restore monarchs (principle of legitimacy) and class privilege, restore established churches • Contain France and restore the peace and status quo of 1792

  5. Problems • They disagreed over land • Prussia wanted German Kingdom of Saxony • Russia wanted all of Poland • Metternich insisted that they use the guiding principle of “balance of power” to keep peace in Europe • Result: France is able to return to great power status by forming an alliance with Austria against Prussia and Russia

Italian state of Piedmont taken from France and given to Sardinia (K. of Sardinia Piedmont) • Austria gets Lombardy and Venetia • Prussia received land on French border • The German Confederation (38 states dominated by Austria) • Many submerged nationalities (Magyars and Czechs)

  7. France • Ruled by a liberal constitution and Louis XVIII • Reforms that stayed • Press, speech, religion • Only 100,000 of 30 million vote • Nobles believed the country too liberal so when Louis dies in 1824 they begin to work on Charles X (1824-1830)

  8. Charles X • Brother of Louis XVI and XVIII • Wanted to reestablish the old order in France • 5 hour coronation ceremony (very medieval) • 1830 he tried to revoke the constitutional charter • Within 3 days the upper-middle class led a revolt and unseated him

  9. Louis Phillippe (1830-1848) • Louis Phillippe was the cousin of Charles X and the Duke of Orleans • Known as the “Citizen King” dressed like a businessman • Kept the monarchy but extended the vote a little • Adopted the “tricolore” (flag)of the revolution • But…still favored the wealthy
