Nationalism,+Imperialism



1 page summary on connections between nationalism, imperrialism, and industrialization

I believe that Nationalism was certainly the characteristic that sparked this Industrial Age. Nationalism unites a specific ethnic group of people together under one nation. People realized this idea of nationalism only after their sovereignty was stripped away by their respective ruling powers. Under feudalism and manorialism, systems that kept the rich rich and the poor poor, the people suffered. In France, the not only did the lower class have no political power, but neither did the middle and even –upper class. With this surge of activity and development, people begin to take pride in their accomplishments. Therefore, as a result of industrialization, nationalism increased. Subsequently, as nationalism increased, the motives for industrialization increased since a nation wants to get better and remain in the forefront of the world. Thus, the dual process gains more momentum.

1. France's Cardinal Jules Mazarin and his great protégé Jean-Baptiste Colbert. Colbert's In my opinion it is the system that helped form all the states today. "In view of the currently collapsing world financial system, which is tearing apart the Mastricht Treaty, European governments have a last opportunity to abandon the failed Anglo-Dutch liberal system of private central banking and globalization, and organize the new Eurasian axis of peace centered on Russia, Germany, and France: " To solve the collapse as sovereign nation-states with a common interest, their historical foundation is the 17th-Century Peace of Westphalia"

2. Unification of Italy- During the 18th century, intellectual changes began influence traditional values and Liberal ideas from France and Britain spread rapidly. In 1789 the French Revolution became the genesis of "liberal Italians". A series of political and military events resulted in a unified kingdom of Italy in 1861.Garibaldi Italian nationalist revolutionary hero and leader in the struggle for Italian unification and independence. In 1860 he conquered Sicily and set up a provisional government. Garibaldi then conquered Naples, which he then delivered to Victor Emmanuel in 1861 and returned to his home on Caprera. With the annexation of Umbria and Marches from the papal government, a united Italy was finally established in 1861 with Victor Emmanuel as its king. Unification of Germany-By the 1850s Germany was made up of 39 states led by Austria and Prussia. Jointly, they were known as the German confederation. . n 1864 Bismark took the opportunity to ally with Austria and strip both Schleswig and Holstein from the Danes. He promised Napoleon III of France that he would receive territorial compensation if France stayed out of a war between Austria and Prussia. He promised Italy the province of Venice. Austria opposed this move.

Brazilian Independence- The territory which would come to be known as Brazil was claimed by Portugal on 22 April 1500, when the navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral landed on its coast. Permanent settlement followed in 1532, and for the next 300 years the Portuguese slowly expanded westwards until they had reached nearly all of the borders of modern Brazil. In 1808, the army of French Emperor Napoleon I invaded Portugal, forcing the Portuguese royal family into exile. He returned to Portugal in April 1821, leaving behind his son and heir,Prince Dom Pedro, to rule Brazil as his regent. Jose Bonifacio de Andrada, along with other Brazilian leaders, convinced Pedro to declare Brazil's independence from Portugal on 7 September 1822. On 12 October, the prince was acclaimed Pedro I, first Emperor of the newly created Empire of Brazil, a constitutional monarchy.

Monroe Doctrine occurred in December 1823, in a message to Congress, Monroe set forth the following principles, which would later become known as the Monroe - The Western Hemisphere was no longer open for colonization - The political system of the Americas was different from Europe - The U.S would regard any interference in Western hemispheric affairs as a threat to its security - The U.S would refrain from participation in European wars and would not disturb existing colonies in the Western Hemisphere

3.Summary of Global impact of Nationalism: After the british and the french were The Ideas of liberal values spread very fast. It attracted Italy to trace back all of their states and become a nation along with the help of other nations by forming alliances. Austria and Prussia were two big states that were initially allied, ended up in war. Prussia strived to become a nation under any circumstances. Prussia bribed France and Italy into staying out of the war, giving them more advantages to winning.
