Slide 3 - Slide

After Napoleon's victory in 1815, there were six major powers (states) in Europe: Great Britain, Russia, France, Austria, Prussia and the Ottoman Empire.

 

At the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815 the five powers, without the Ottoman empire, discussed how they could keep the peace.

Slide 4 - Slide

To ensure that France cannot just attack England again, the countries of Belgium and the Netherlands had to be merged. With a new king, of course: Willem I 

 

Slide 5 - Slide

Different groups of people lived in Europe in 1815. Nationalism formed among many people. They felt they were one nation and strived for a nation state. 


   

This wish did not match reality. Sometimes one people lived spread out over multiple states or different people lived in multi-ethnic states, such as Austria, Russia and the Ottoman empire. 
   

Slide 6 - Slide

The growing desire to form nation states led to revolts and wars among many different people. This created new states, such as Greece, Belgium and Italy.

Slide 7 - Slide

Nationalism also led to the Franco-German war (1870-1871), which was started by the Chancellor of Prussia, Bismarck.
Until 1871 Germany consisted of 39 regions. German liberals wanted a unified Germany and thus opposed the German monarchs.
 

Chancellor: German head of government, prime minister
opposition: opponents of a government
 

Slide 8 - Slide

Bismarck tried to violently unify Germany by making France a common enemy. France lost the war and Germany became a nation state under the king of Prussia, who became emperor.


Slide 9 - Slide

After 1871 tension between the states in Europe increased. Russia increased its power at the cost of the Ottoman empire.
Two Ottoman people, the Serbs and Bosnians were in a conflict with each other. This conflict eventually led to World War I.
