6.3: The rise of the -isms

Goals

• The student can describe different isms (conservatism, liberalism, confessionalism, feminism) 

In 1815 Napoleon is defeated .

The Kingdom of Holland

Conference of Vienna (1814 and 1815): the victors of the Napoleonic wars met. They decided:

1. To restore the old order (reverse Enlightened reforms)
2. To restore the map of Europe

To prevent France from conquering so much land again, France needed to be surrounded by strong countries. The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg were united to form a strong northern border. King William I as ruler.

The rule of William I (1815-1840)

He wanted the kingdom to become a modern industrialised country --> Invested in the infrastructure

Problem → Belgium, because:

• They were forced to speak Dutch
• There were more Dutch representatives and ministers than Belgium
• They had to help pay the Dutch debt
• They were catholic, while the Netherlands was mainly protestant

In 1830 they rebelled and became independent (officially 1830, but William I recognized it in 1839).

The rule of William II (1840-1849)

The revolutionary year of 1848→ in many countries in Europe rebellions broke out. People demanded constitutional reform (an adjustment to the constitution). 

William II has to decide → stay conservative or become more liberal?
