Austria-Hungary. Hapsburg Family, Ruled Austrian Empire. Had coat of arms (every family in Europe had one). Owned a ton of land! Made up of many nationalities! Prince Metternich, Austrian Foreign Minister. After Napoleon Fell at Congress of Vienna, he was a leading voice in balance of power in Europe to be settled to. Leader of German Confederation. Carlsbad Decrees- Laws preventing liberal reform, caught as revolutionary, you'd be killed, created Austrian secret police force. 1820 Metternich created Congress of Troppau, everyone would help each other with military force. Franz Joesph Hapsburg I King of Hungary, emperor of Austria. Compromise, Ruled both countries but both had own Parliament. Compromise of 1867, lasted 50 years.

Ottoman Empire: Similar to Austria-Hungary, individuals revolted. Punished people for clothing, given heavy fines, jail time, community service. Example: 2 years in jail for wearing a scarf. Added more punishments for back talking. Citizens revolted against this. It would feel horrible to have the government tell you what to wear, it would even be scary because of the amount of control and power they have. I would gain the same feelings of revolt. I would make sure there were enough people with the same feelings to get enough to outnumber the gov't, just like the French Revolution. This relates to nationalism because the people are trying to create a better country for themselves. All small communities in the Empire wanted their own nation.

Russian Nationalism: One of the greatest powers in Europe. HUGE Empire, goes to Eastern Asia, troops helped defeat Napoleon. I see soldiers, White Horse, a man resembling Napoleon, guns, French flag in the distance. It means: A battle going on, Napoleon telling his troops to attack Russia. Czars were leaders of Russia, absolute monarchs, autocracy. I think autocracy means one voter. Government had complete control. Society was mostly agriculture, many peasants no industrialization, many were surfs, considered part of the land they farmed. 1 Czars 2 Gov't w/ complete control 3 Serfs 4 Nobles Citizens wanted freedom/democracy. Decembrist, secret society, met at palace, some caught and executed, Alexander II took over after Nicholas 1, gave serfs right to land. Alexander III ended reform of his dad, attacked Jews, called pogrom, possibly because of lands, religious beliefs, ani-semitism, thought Jews were taking over world. Nicholas II 1894, built Siberia railroad.

CCQ 10/21/10: It seems the common theme is revolting against a country. It happened with France, the Ottoman Empire and Russia. Taking over a country is a great sense of nationalism because it shows just how better the people want their country to be and gives them a sense of power, leadership, and individuality in the world. Also in Germany's case there was a unification but without revolt, there was war, but not civil. Why was Germany the only one to base their government off the U.S, did the other countries want more of a sense of nationalism to make one on their own with little influence from other nations?
