ReplyDeleteZollverein: was also called (german customs union) it was a bunch of german states formed to manage tarffis (taxes) and economic policies within their territories. It was important because it helped develop nationalism, unite germany, and abollish all terrifs within prussian territorries.
•real politik:it was a system germany adapted that was based on practical judgement of issues rather than moral or traditional judgement.
•astro prussian war: was a war in germany in 1866 war was between german confederation under the leadership of the austrian empire and against the kingdom of prussia and their german allies. The result was purssian dominance over the german states.
Franco prussia war: was in 1870 and was a conflict between the second french empire and the north german confederation led by the kingdom of prussia. The conflict was because the purssians wanted to extendthe german unification and france was afraid that this would cause a shift in the european balance of power so france declared a war but they lost to the prussians.
Otto van bismark

Wilhem I: he was the king of prussia from 1861 to 1888 he was the first german empror and under his leadership prussia achieved the unification of germany and the estableshment of the german empire
My Presentation
ReplyDeleteIn the Austrian and Ottoman Empires, nationalism led to disintegration because both empires were multiethnic empires Prince Metternich represented Austria at the Congress of Vienna. He feared nationalism because he knew it could lead to revolution and destroy the empire. So he passed the Carlsbad Decrees, which censored newspapers and created a network of spies to suppress all revolutionary activities. But in 1848 revolutions in France, Italy and the German states set off revolts in the Austrian empire. Metternich was forced to resign, the emperor abdicated and was replaced by Franz Josef. The new emperor had to deal with the Magyars who declared their independence. But the emperor got help from Russia to crush the revolt. But this couldn’t stop the nationalist movement in Austria. First, Austria lost Lombardy to Italy then Austria was defeated by Prussia in 1866. Because Austria had been weakened, it had to come to an agreement with the Hungarians within its empire. The result was the Compromise of 1867 which created the Dual Monarchy known as Austria-Hungary. Under this agreement Austria and Hungary became two separate, yet equal states. They shared some ministries, but each had its own parliament. This was only a temporary solution because it actually made the unrest in Austria-Hungary’s worse because other ethnic groups now wanted self-government like the Hungarians. By the early 1800s the Ottoman Empire was in severe decline and was often referred to as the sick man of Europe. This caused two problems. The first was called the Eastern Question and referred to European concerns about what would happen to Ottoman territory if/when it collapsed? The European powers didn’t want their rivals to get Ottoman land. Particularly, the French and British opposed Russia; so they supported the Ottoman empire to stop Russian expansion. This situation led to a short war called the Crimean War which ended in a stalemate (A draw). The war is best remembered for its filthy conditions.
The second problem was the region of the Balkans where nationalism created great unrest among the diverse ethnic groups there. As the various ethnic groups rebelled against Ottoman control, it led to a series of wars called the Balkan Wars.
A group of Turkish nationalists called the Young Turks were upset by the decline of the Ottoman Empire and its loss of land and prestige. Therefore, in 1908 they began a revolution to overthrow the sultan, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire. Eventually through their efforts a more liberal democratic Turkey would emerge.
Zollverein, ( German: “Customs Union”) German customs union established in 1834 under Prussian leadership. It created a free-trade area throughout much of Germany and is often seen as an important step in German reunification.
ReplyDelete[END-1ST-PARA]
The movement to create a free-trade zone in Germany received great impetus from economists such as Friedrich List, its most active advocate in early 19th-century Germany. In 1818 Prussia enacted a tariff law abolishing all internal customs dues and announced its willingness to establish free trade with neighbouring states.
Austro-Prussian War or Seven Weeks War, June 15–Aug. 23, 1866, between Prussia, allied with Italy, and Austria, seconded by Bavaria, Württemberg, Saxony, Hanover, Baden, and several smaller German states. It was deliberately provoked by Bismarck, over the objections of his king, in order to expel Austria from the German Confederation as a step toward the unification of Germany under Prussian dominance. The pretext for precipitating the conflict was found in the dispute between Prussia and Austria over the administration of Schleswig-Holstein.
The Franco Prussian War
The Franco-Prussian War, was a war in 1870-1871 lost by France to the German states under the leadership of Prussia. The underlying causes of the conflict were the determination of the Prussian statesman Prince Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck to unify Germany under Prussian control and, as a step toward this goal, to eliminate French influence over Germany. On the other hand, Napoleon III, emperor of France from 1852 to 1870, sought to regain both in France and abroad the prestige lost as a result of numerous diplomatic reverses, particularly those suffered at the hands of Prussia in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. In addition, the military strength of Prussia, as revealed in the war with Austria, constituted a threat to French dominance on the continent of Europe.
Realpolitik. Realpolitik (from German: real "realistic", "practical", or "actual"; and Politik "politics", German pronunciation: [ʁeˈaːlpoliˌtiːk]) is politics or diplomacy based primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors, rather than explicit ideological notions or moral and ethical premises.
Otto von Bismarck, in full Otto Eduard Leopold, Fürst (prince) von Bismarck, Graf (count) von Bismarck-Schönhausen, Herzog (duke) von Lauenburg (born April 1, 1815, Schönhausen, Altmark, Prussia [Germany]—died July 30, 1898, Friedrichsruh, near Hamburg), prime minister of Prussia (1862–73, 1873–90) and founder and first chancellor (1871–90) of the German Empire. Once the empire was established, he actively and skillfully pursued pacific policies in foreign affairs, succeeding in preserving the peace in Europe for about two decades. But in domestic policies his patrimony was less benign, for he failed to rise above the authoritarian proclivities of the landed squirearchy to which he was born.
Frederick William IV, (born Oct. 15, 1795, Cölln, near Berlin—died Jan. 2, 1861, Potsdam, Prussia), king of Prussia from 1840 until 1861, whose conservative policies helped spark the Revolution of 1848. In the aftermath of the failed revolution, Frederick William followed a reactionary course. In 1857 he was incapacitated by a stroke, and his brother, the future William I, became regent (1858–61).
William I, German in full Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig (born March 22, 1797, Berlin—died March 9, 1888, Berlin), German emperor from 1871, as well as king of Prussia from 1861, a sovereign whose conscientiousness and self-restraint fitted him for collaboration with stronger statesmen in raising his monarchy and the house of Hohenzollern to predominance in Germany.
