Chapter 21, Section 1
An Age of Ideologies
• What were the goals of conservatives?
• How did liberalism and nationalism challenge
the old order?
• Why was Europe plagued by revolts after
1815?
Chapter 21, Section 1
Opposing Ideologies
At the Congress of Vienna, the powers of Europe tried to
turn the clock back to the way things had been before
1789.
Other voices, however, kept challenging the order imposed
by the Congress of Vienna.
The clash of people with opposing ideologies, or systems
of thought and belief, plunged Europe into more than 30
years of turmoil.
Chapter 21, Section 1
What Were the Goals of Conservatives?
Conservatives pursued the following goals:
• Restore royal families to the thrones they had lost when
Napoleon swept across Europe.
• Maintain a social hierarchy in which lower classes
respected and obeyed their social superiors.
•
Maintain an established church.
• Suppress revolutionary ideas.
Chapter 21, Section 1
The Liberal and Nationalist Challenge
Challenging the conservatives at every turn were liberals and
nationalists who were inspired by the Enlightenment and the
French Revolution.
LIBERALISM
Liberals wanted:
•
Governments based on
written constitutions and
separation of powers.
•
Natural rights of liberty,
equality, and prosperity.
•
Rulers elected by the
people and responsible to
them.
•
A republican form of
government.
•
Laissez-faire economics.
NATIONALISM
•
•
•
National groups who shared
a common heritage set out
to win their own states.
Nationalism gave people
with a common heritage a
sense of identity.
Nationalism often bred
intolerance and led to
persecution of other ethnic
or national groups.
Chapter 21, Section 1
Revolts Against the Old Order
Spurred by the ideas of liberalism and nationalism, revolutionaries
fought against the old order.
•
In the the Balkans, first Serbia, and later Greece fought for
and won independence from their Ottoman rulers.
•
In Spain, Portugal, and various states in the Italian
peninsula, rebels struggled to gain constitutional
governments. In response, a French army marched over
the Pyrenees to suppress the revolts in Spain. Austrian
forces crossed the Alps to smash rebellious outbreaks in
Italy.

Revolutions of 1830 and 1848
• Why did revolutions occur in France in 1830
and 1848?
• How did revolution spread in 1830?
• What were the results of the 1848

Chapter 21, Section 2
Why Did Revolutions Occur in France in 1830 and 1848?
1830
1848
Charles X, a strong believer in
absolutism, suspended the
legislature, limited the right to vote,
and restricted the press.
When the government tried to
silence critics and prevent public
meetings, angry crowds took to the
streets.
Liberals and radicals rebelled
and took control of Paris.
Louis Philippe abdicated.
Moderate liberals put in place a
constitutional monarchy, and
chose Louis Philippe as king.
Revolutionary leaders
proclaimed a Second Republic.
Chapter 21, Section 2
How Did Revolution Spread in 1830?
The revolts in Paris inspired uprisings elsewhere in Europe.
Most were suppressed by military force. But here and there,
rebels did win changes from conservative governments. Even
when they failed, revolutionaries frightened rulers badly enough
to encourage reform later in the century.
Belgium The one notable success for Europe’s revolutionaries
in 1830 took place in Belgium. The Congress of Vienna had
united Belgium and Holland under the Dutch king. The Belgians
resented this arrangement and pushed for independence. In
1831, Belgium became an independent state with a liberal
constitution.
Poland Nationalists in Poland staged an uprising in 1830.
However, the rebels failed to gain widespread support, and
were brutally crushed by Russian forces.

Chapter 21, Section 2
Revolutions of 1848
In 1848, revolts in Paris again unleashed a tidal wave of revolution
across Europe.
•
In Austria, revolts caused Metternich to resign. The Austrian
government agreed to reforms, but these gains were temporary.
With Russian help, Austrian forces defeated the rebels. Many
were imprisoned, executed, or exiled.
•
Nationalists in Italy rebelled against Austrian Hapsburg rulers.
They expelled the pope and installed a nationalist government.
Before long, Austrian troops ousted the new government and the
French army restored the pope to power.
•
In Prussia, liberals forced King Frederick William IV to agree to a
constitution written by an elected assembly. Within a year,
Frederick dissolved the assembly and issued his own
constitution keeping power in his own hands.
Chapter 21, Section 2
Why Did the Uprisings Fail?
By 1850 the rebellions had faded, ending the age of liberal
revolution that had begun in 1789.
• Rulers used military force to suppress the uprisings.
• Revolutionaries did not have mass support.
• A growing gulf divided workers seeking radical
economic change and liberals pursuing moderate
political reforms.

Central America win independence?
• How did nations of South America win
independence?
Chapter 21, Section 3
What Caused Discontent in Latin America?
By the late 1700s, the revolutionary fever that gripped
Western Europe had spread to Latin America. There, discontent
was rooted in the social, racial, and political
system that had
emerged during 300 years of Spanish
rule.
•
•
•
•
Creoles resented their second-class status.
Mestizos and mulattoes were angry at being denied
the status, wealth, and power available to whites.

Mexico.
In 1802, Napoleon sent an
army to recapture Haiti.
Napoleon’s forces agreed to a
truce, or temporary peace.
In 1804, Haitian leaders
declared independence.
Iturbide took the title of emperor,
but was quickly overthrown.
Liberal Mexicans set up the
Republic of Mexico.
CENTRAL AMERICA
Spanish-ruled lands declared
their independence in the
early 1820s.
Local leaders set up the
United Provinces of Central
America.
The union soon fragmented
into separate republics of
Guatemala, Nicaragua,
Honduras, El Salvador, and
Costa Rica.
Chapter 21, Section 3
Independence in South America
In South America, Native Americans had rebelled against Spanish
rule as early as the 1700s, with limited results. It was not until the
1800s that discontent sparked a widespread drive for independence.
Simon Bolívar, called “The Liberator,” led an uprising that established a
republic in Venezuela. He then captured Bogotá, Ecuador, Peru, and
Bolivia.
•
In 1816, José de San Martín helped Argentina win freedom
from Spain. He then joined forces with Bolívar.
•
Bolívar tried to unite the liberated lands into a single nation
called Gran Columbia. However, bitter rivalries made that
dream impossible. Before long, Gran Columbia split into
three independent countries: Venezuela, Columbia, and
Ecuador.
