ASSIGNMENT FOUR:  Oct. 22

The Congress of Vienna attempted to turn the clock back.  The ideals of the French Revolution--liberty, equality and nationalism--had been spread across Europe by the Revolutionary and Napoleonic armies.  The men at Vienna intended to restore legitimate rulers of Europe to their thrones, to restore the absolute rule of monarchs and to put down any attempts at revolution. However, the clock would be turned back.  Revolutions broke out across Europe in the name of nationalism and liberalism.  The results of these revolutions varied--some succeeded others failed--but they all caused fear among the ruling classes.

     1.  understand the threat of nationalism and liberalism to the conservative governments of Europe

The Congress of Vienna met to restore Europe as it had been before 1789/French Revolution.  The men who made the decisions there had as their guiding principles: reaction, legitimacy ( restoring the original ruling families to their thrones), and balance of power ( that no one nation should dominate the European political scene as France had under Napoleon). These men had failed to take into consideration that the French Revolution had let loose the forces  of nationalism and liberalism and those forces would not go away.  Europe was changed by the French Revolution and Napoleon.
