Europe and the New World After Napoleon: Revolutions and Resurgence

This lesson explores the socio-political landscape of Europe and the Americas post-Napoleon. Focusing on the Congress of Vienna (1815), led by Klemens von Metternich, students will analyze the restoration of monarchies, the balance of power, and the impact of the Holy Alliance and the Concert of Europe. Additionally, the Haitian Revolution, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, will be examined to understand the struggles for independence and the justifications of both the Haitian and French actions. Engage in discussions and construct arguments based on primary sources to answer the essential question: What was Europe and the world like after Napoleon?
