Hello everybody!

Yesterday, we had the Social Sciences class at the third period. Paqui started the lesson explaining on the whiteboard a scheme of the Liberalism.
Liberalism was a political ideology based on the fact that human beings are born free and have some inalineable rights the state has to guarantee.
She also spoke about the Liberal Trends, about Olympe de Gouge, about Nationalism...
Nationalism it's the political ideology that defends the right of the peoples or nations to decide by themselves. There were two different conceptions: The progressive or inclusive and the Conservative or excluding.
She also explained the revolutions 1820 and 1830.
In the revolution of 1820 there were several liberal prisings in Naples and Spain. In Greece there was a nationalist revolution against the Ottoman Empire and The majority of the Spanish colonies in America became also independent.
The revolution of 1830 started in France. In the United Kingdom of Netherlands, the Belgians decided to separate from the Netherlands. The revolt in Poland was strongly repressed by Russia. The reforms introduced in Spain established a liberal system between 1835 and 1839.
We also have copied some new words in the glossary.
