  1. Revolutions of 1848 Failure or Success

  2. What is Similar/Different About these Two Paintings?

  3. REVOLUTIONS OF 1848 - CAUSES • Lack of voting rights by middle class, urban workers, rural farmers/peasants • Nationalism (especially in German states, Austrian Empire, and Italian states) • Liberalism – desire to bring about political and social reform

  4. WHERE? • France – Revolution begins here and spreads to other European nations, desire for constitutional government • Hungary – Desire for independence from Austria • Prussia – Desire for constitutional reform and a unified German nation • Sardinia/Rome – Desire for constitutional reform and a unified Italian nation

  5. Where?

  6. Partner Discussion Question • Based on the previous map, what areas were not effected by Revolutions in the early 1800s? Why do you think these areas did not have the same problems with uprisings and revolutions? Explain.

  7. WHERE NOT? • Great Britain – Political reform came through legislative means in 1832 (voting rights extended to middle and working classes), ability of Parliament to respond to demands of the people • Russia – Serfdom kept peasants under tight control, Czar’s secret police intimidated liberals and prevented them from organizing

  8. REVOLUTIONS OF 1848 - RESULTS • Liberal groups could not agree on goals/demands • Liberal groups were not united in opposition to conservative forces • Conservatives much more organized and able to respond quickly to uprisings • Conservatives controlled the armies in the nations under revolt • No liberal governments were able to hold onto power

  9. Nationalism In Italy and Germany

  10. Italian unification

  11. ITALIAN STATES - 1850

  12. Italy I think I’ll make friends with France and Britain! I am Count Cavour! Count di Cavour Prime Minister of Sardinia Decides to unify Italy with France’s help and create a constitutional monarchy modeled on Great Britain Makes alliances with both France and Great Britain

  13. Group Discussion Question • Why did Cavour of Sardinia want/need alliances with Great Britain and France? (Hint: Think about Sardinia’s goals and what would be needed to achieve them.)

  14. Italy I am Napoleon III! I look like my famous uncle, non? Cavour meets with France’s leader, Napoleon III Gets Napoleon to agree to support Sardinia if Austria attacks Sardinia 1859 - Cavour provokes Austria to attack France goes to war with Austria Go France!!

  15. Italy Cavour supports Guiseppe Garibaldi and his Red Shirts Garibaldi was a mercenary who fought in Latin American Revolutions and learned guerilla warfare tactics 1860 - Garibaldi invades southern Italy People of S. Italy support him Garibaldi unites southern Italy with northern Italy Cavour invades some of the Papal States

  16. Group Discussion Question • Why was Garibaldi willing to unite Italy and give up his control over Southern Italy to Cavour and Victor Emmanuel II?

  17. Italy Cavour not satisfied with France’s help (does not give Italy all they wanted after defeat of Austria) Makes friends with Prussia 1866 - Prussia attacks Austria, so Cavour sides with Prussia Unification almost complete!!!

  20. Germany I don’t like democracy! Things only get done with BLOOD and IRON, not debates and votes! Otto von Bismarck Prime Minister of Prussia Decides that Prussia must lead the unification of the German states Austria though stands in the way due to leadership in the German Confederation

  21. Group Discussion Question • What do you think Bismarck meant when he said, “achieving goals through blood and iron?” Why is this not surprising coming from a Prussian leader?

  22. Germany Bismarck follows three guiding principles • Realpolitik • Do everything/anything necessary to gain power. No room for idealism (e.g. democracy) • Nationalism • Militarism • Use of war to achieve national goals

  23. Germany War with Denmark + War with Austria + War with France = Unification of Germany
