Hello, it's Lucía again. Today it's my turn to do the journal, so let's try to do it well!

At the beginning of the class, we have revised the Congress of Vienna and its corresponding scheme we did on Tuesday. The main conclusions are:

– They restored absolutism after the exile of Napoleon to Elba.

– They reorganised de map of Europe. For example, the German Confederation was created, having 39 states, Poland and Finland became part of Russia and Norway, which added to Sweden

– They created the Holy Alliance.

Here you have the map that Paqui uses in class:

Later, Paqui has started to explain the creation of two different alliances which had the purpose of defend. The first of them is The Holy Alliance, that I've named before. This alliance was formed by Russia, Austria and Prussia and it tried to preserve absolutism and religion and stop the revolutions in Europe.

But, as the United Kingdom didn't agree with their purposes, they created the Quadruple Alliance, formed by the members of the Holy Alliance plus the United Kingdom; Austria had under its power central Europe, Russia had Eastern Europe and the United Kingdom controlled the seas routes and some islands.

These men are the leaders of the Holy Alliance.

This photo shows the similarities of the Congress of Vienna and the fall of Napoleon, because when he came back from Elba and the Hundred Days Empire started, the Congress was taking place.

But despite these alliances, they couldn't stop the revolutionary ideas so after the Congress two new ideologies spread out.
LIBERALISM:
It’s an ideology that defends that humans are born free and with some rights guaranteed by the State (Social Contract). They agreed with the division of power (but power belonged to the citizens, who chose their representatives). The State couldn't intervene in economy.
The main trends in this ideology were:
– CLASSICAL LIBERALISM: only those who had a good level of wealth or owned properties couldvote (Census Suffrage)
– DEMOCRATIC LIBERALISM: everybody was equal before the law and could vote. (Universal Suffrage).

NATIONALISM:
It defended the right of the nations to decide by themselves and form independent States.
The main two conceptions of nation:
                – CONSERVATIVE OR EXCLUDING: they accepted only those who share some common features, like for example language or the "race". (The concept of race in humans doesn't exist, remember this and spread it, please, you're helping to create a better world ♥♥).
                – PROGRESSIVE OR INCLUSIVE: they accepted all those who want to belong to the nation, if they accepted its laws.
Unfortunately, the predominant one was (and is) the excluding or conservative.

In the 19th century, several peoples submitted to the big Empires (Russian, Austrian and Ottoman) tried to form independent States based on the conservative or excluding model.

Paqui has explained us about the following project that we have to do; we must do 4 videos including 5 questions in each one (6 in case of the last topic). This work is really too easy, we just have to explain the main topic helping with drawings about it. Te main topics are:

-Congress of Vienna
-Revolutionary ideologies
-1820, 1830, 1848 Revolution

DEADLINE-> 15th FEBRUARY

We can use websites like "Educanon" or programmes like "Windows Movie Maker "to edit our videos.
Here you have some ideas of videos:

Syria's War in 5 minutes: you can use maps and color them

Enligthtened thinker's: this video is just what Paqui wants

Presentations for the project of the Restoration and the unifications

Here you have the presentations you will need for the project and to complete your schemes. When I have some more time, I'll write a post with the links to insert the questions in the videos.

Interactive activities to review

Here you have some review activities about the crisis of the Ancien Régime in Spain, Restoration and the revolutions in the first half of the 19th century.  The MEC server is not working today (I don´t know why). I´ve sent an e-mail to the person in charge, but I don´t know if they are working during the weekend. If the problem is not solved and someone wants to review, please, send me an e-mail and I´ll send you the packs of activities and the instructions to practice. 

P.S (3rd February): the problems were solved and everything works right now.

An interactive map of the Congress of Vienna

This is a very good resource to learn about the territorial changes in Europe decided in the Congress of Vienna after the Napoleonic wars. The animated map includes an oral explanation of evry change. If you want to watch it, click on the image above.

The map belongs to a website called The Map As History, where you can find a complete series of interactive maps both in English and French (still not in Spanish).
