3.2.1

Three things that I have learned:

1. I have learned that radical ideas spread rapidly during this time. Romanticism was mainly based on emotional beliefs and unrestrained imagination and personal life.
2. I also learned that the bourgeoisie was the middle class minority who owned the means of production and according to Marx exploited the working class proletariat's.
3. I also learned that Metternich represented the view that best state of monarchy, and he hated liberalism. He believed that liberalism stirred up the lower class and caused war and blood shed.

Two things that interested me:

1.The Great famine which was the result of four years of potato's crop failure in Ireland, a country that had grown dependent on potatoes as a dietary staple. I think this is remarkable because each time period there was a significant sacrifice and this help unify the people.

2.The Triumph of Democratic Republic is a french illustration that displays the views of the initial revolutionary breakthrough in 1848. This picture shows many different flags and people marching.

One Question:



1.Why was the growth of nationalism so strong?
