Tensions with Britain rise. 1812 Impressments of Americans by the British, British-encouraged Indian attacks on American settlements, “War Hawk” politicians advocating for war, and American nationalism all lead to the start of the War of 1812. 1814 The Treaty of Ghent is signed, diplomatically ending the War of 1812. American forces led by Andrew Jackson defeat the British in the Battle of New Orleans, which took place after the signing of the treaty. 1817 James Monroe becomes the last “Revolutionary” president, and brings the Era of Good Feelings.
How far was the old order restored by the decisions taken at the Congress of Vienna in 1815? While there were forces of continuity present in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, some forces of change evolved. The Napoleonic Wars left Europe in chaos, but also catalyzed the spread of new ideologies. The Congress of Vienna was an international conference held in 1814–15 to agree upon the settlement of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. The decisions made restored the rule of legitimate rulers as well as autocratic government, and restored some territories to their pre-Napoleon frontiers.

The subsequent rise of nationalism in Prussian politics and deterioration of Austro-Prussian relations ensured that, by 1866, Prussia could defeat her nearest rivals in just six weeks. Upon initial examinations, the outcome of the events of 1848-49 seems to be a total failure of liberalism, with tradition feudal rulers resurfacing and democracy disposed of. Even as a vehement liberal supporter, JS Mill admitted that support for nationalism so far outweighed that for liberalism that the people were “willing to abet their rulers in crushing… liberty and independence.” The manifestation of liberalism through the Frankfurt Parliament was wholly unsuccessful, with only illusory powers to its name leading to a reliance on the traditional forces of the Austrian and Prussian armies. Frederick William IV’s labelling of the German crown as “a diadem moulded out of the dirt and dregs of revolution, disloyalty and treason” proved the Parliament’s lack of authority and the renewed power of the traditional ruling monarchy. Germany’s “first flirtation with… parliamentary democracy” ended in dissolution in 1849, seemingly demonstrating the political insignificance of the 1848 revolutions on Germany.

According to Bekar and Lipsey, what are the main reasons for the Industrial Revolution to have taken place first in England (and more generally, in Europe) and not elsewhere? b. What are the main approaches to the study of the French Revolution according to Spodek? What does he mean by the role of the “grand sweep of history” and “contingency” in explaining the French Revolution?

Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe This response paper is about the Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe and the efforts to maintain peace in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, the roles of conservative ideas in promoting the restoration of traditional order, the ideas that conservatives promote to reach this end, the response of liberals to the restoration, ideas and agendas that liberals promote in politics and economics. The Congress of Vienna of 1815 consisted mainly of four great powers at first, Austria, Russia, Prussia and Great Britain(they’re referred to as powers), the so called “quadruple Alliance,”1 which came together in Vienna Austria to make sure France and basically any other part of Europe couldn’t be in a position to dominate Europe in the future. But the Congress’ main goals were to bring an end to Napoleons wars and restore peace in Europe. The four powers that met at the Congress of Vienna finally gave the defeated power, France, a generous settlement of the war. They occupied France until 1818 when France paid them and gave back the land they had secured from the wars.
This article also addresses the factors beyond the strength of Bismarck's Realpolitik that led to unification. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation had been informally dissolved in 1806 with the abdication of the Emperor, Francis. [1] Despite the legal, administrative, and political disruption caused by the dissolution of the Empire, the people of the German-speaking areas of the old Empire had a common linguistic, cultural and legal tradition that was further enhanced by their shared experience in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The spheres of influence model created after the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 supposedly established Austrian dominance in Central Europe. Prussia's rising competence, embodied in the Realpolitik of "Iron Chancellor" Bismarck, challenged the Austrian authority for real leadership within the German states.
