...s for more liberal reforms, helping the conservatives. This also helped show how paranoid the government was of potential rebellion against them and how pragmatic they were. Then throughout 1848, there was a multitude of rebellions and when the dust settled it seemed as if the Austrian government was going to lose it was able to get back up and fight back with the help of the Russians and get back control for the conservatives. By the end of 1851 Austria was able to remain a strong conservative dual monarchy, a concession made to appease the Magyars, but their king still had to report to the Austrian king. Throughout 1815-1851 there were many demands for more liberal reforms and strong opponents of conservatism, but by the end on 1851 Austria, Prussia, and France were still some of the few nations where conservatism was able to achieve its goals and stay in power.
In document 3 Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria, writes a letter to Maria Antonia, a German ally. She writes about how their mutual enemy, King Frederick of Prussia is at full strength and he will attack. As an empress Maria Theresa writes out of fear for her country and her allies. She says that she had hoped to move troops back into the territory that Frederick seized. Having to play defense and not being able to expand was a major hurdle for Austria. Looking at this from the other side, document 4 is a letter from King Frederick of Prussia to his foreign minister after experiencing a series of defeats by the Austrians. In this letter he addresses Prussia’s need to become allies with the Ottoman Turks. He also says that it may be time to start peace negotiations. As the leader of Prussia he is frantic and nervous. This shows not only the difficulty of fighting against other strong European powers but also how dangerous it is to rely on allies. An additional type of document that could provide further information would be a letter from Saxony, the German state and ally of Austria. This could provide further insight as to what was going on Often times the biggest obstacles in the way of Europeans struggling for power was other Europeans struggling for
The Austrian, Habsburg Empire was, in the literal sense, disconnected; its holdings ranged in size from the large territory of Spain, to smaller territories, such as the Netherlands which were bordered by competing nations. An inherent problem of maintaining control of such a sprawling empire was the fact that there were many dissimilar communities with unique cultures and ways of thinking. This dynamic made it difficult for the House of Habsburg to exercise control and to unify its empire. Religion proved to be the most difficult matter to control, attempts to do so resulted in the Thirty Years’ War.
People began migrating to the current land of Austria as early as 800 B.C. It was finally a conquered land in 15 B.C. when the Romans gained control of the area south of the Danube. When the western part of the Roman Empire fell in 476, German tribes invaded Austria. At the end of the eighth century, Charlemagne ruled the country. Later, Otto I of Germany governed Austria and became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, leading Austria to become the most important area in the territory. The Austrian region became a duchy, or a land ruled by a duke, and was controlled by the Habsburg family, who ruled from 1273 until 1919. In 1867, the famous dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary took form. Hungary was in search of greater status, and Austria found the solution by joining with Hungary. The two countries were integrat...

Pompeii was once one of the most predominate city states in Italy until the fateful day when Mount Vesuvius erupted. Thanks to modern technology and the curiosity of humans Pompeii has now been restored to what it might have been before the volcano.

Austria was one of the strongest empires in Europe in early 19th century and most of the small European states had rulers from Hapsburg dynasty so Austria had a lot of influence. Letting Nationalistic feelings to rise anywhere in Europe meant that soon those feelings would rise up in Austria

He had also been part of the alliance agaisnt Napleon, the emperor of france. He was one of the most important diplomats of him era. He was serving as the Foreign Minister of the Holy Roman Empire from 1809 until the revolutions of 1848 forced his resignation. This quote was said at a time of liberal revolution.

Ideas of this began to spread throughout france finally causing the liberals to revolt. During this time the liberals beheaded their emperor and his wife, finally endeding the rain of monachry. The revolts started in France were moderate liberals gave rousing speeches, eventully it spread throughout al of east and central Europe. This quote is very accurate for this time peird. It made sense that it was said durning a time of revolutions that began in France.

It was the most useful achievement in history, because without it today, where would we be? How could you or any of us be writing, typing? Where and how would our religion expand or how would we express our thoughts and opinions? The printing press helped us achieve these monumental experiments and helped us develop together as a whole new generation. The news about the printing press created more and more competition with businesses and soon became the talk of every business.
