Russia has helped them with revolutions in the past, but they don't intervene because they too are competing against Russia for Crimea.

Bismarck made alliances with Russia and Italy, and with Austria isolated, Bismarck used the joint-occupation of Schleswig-Holstein to goad the Austrians into a war. Bismarck asked the Prussian Parliament to pass a bill of indemnity, retroactively legalizing the taxes he had collected illegally since 1862. With victory over Austria and German Confederation, he proved Napoleon III's dictum that NATIONALISM and AUTHORITARIAN government could be combined. He showed liberalism and nationalism could be separated by using the latter to win support from liberals and prevent government reform. He showed the same flexibility in the creation of the new constitution for the North German Confederation.This is war with Austria over the 2 territories (Schleswig and Holstein), Austria has no allies Peace terms: makes sure Austria doesn't get mad (Bismarck knows he might need them as a future alliance) and gets them out of German States

Three wars were fought in order to move the Germanic Confederation towards unification. Bismarck was the "master manipulator" of these wars. DESCRIBE how each of them began AND the important results/outcomes. DANISH WAR (1864)
It was over the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. In 1863, contrary to international treaty, the Danish government moved to incorporate the 2 duchies into Denmark. Bismarck pursuaded the Austrians to join Prussia in declaring war on Denmark, and the Danes were quickly defeated. Austria and Prussia then agreed to divide the administration of the 2 duchies; Prussia took Schleswig and Austria administered Holstein. Bismarck realized that for Prussia to expand its power by dominating the northern, largely Protestant par of Germanic Confederation, Austria would have to be excluded from German affairs or accept Prussian domination of Germany. The joint administration of the 2 duchies offered plenty of opportunities to create friction with Austria and provide a reason for war if it came to that. Bismarck makes sure the country he will go to war with has NO ALLIES before going to war so he knows he will win and create peace eres so they can be allies in the future (not make them want revenge) This war is the beginning of the path to get Austria out of the German States (Bismarck convinces Austria to fight Danish king; it is an Austro-Prussian invasion) Peace terms: His chance to set up ally and Bismarck convinces Austria to jointly administer these duchies to create future conflict (they have different values and ways of ruling) with Austria and kick them out in the future (he can invade and kick them out)

Local assemblies that provided a moderate degree of self-government. Representatives were to be elected from the noble land owners, townspeople, and peasants, but the property-based system gave nobles the advantage. They were given a limited power to provide public services and their efforts of levying taxes to pay for these services were frequently disrupted by the bureaucrats, who feared any hint of self-government. The hope of liberal nobles and other social reformers that would be expanded into a national parliament remained unfulfilled.
after 1851, the Austrian empire regained its authoritarian control under the Bach system. describe the repressive, conservative measures put in place

Cavour provoked the Austrians into invading the peidmornt in April 1859. things were going well for Cavour and his ally, france, but then, the French decided to negotiate a peace with austria without consulting caviar. WHY WOULD FRANCE DO THIS?

nationalism was a divisive force in the United States in the years leading up to the civil war. explain what was driving the differences between the north and south
Slavery caused a split between the North and South. The cotton economy and plantation-based slavery were intimately related, and an attempt to maintain them in the first half of the 19th century led the South to become increasingly defensive, monolithic, and isolated. At the same time, the rise of an abolitionist movement in the North challenged the southern order and created an "emotional chain reaction" that led to civil war.
despite emancipation, problems, persisted -list a few problems the newly freed peasants faced
The Russian peasants found that they had inadequate amounts of good arable land to support themselves. They weren't completely free either; the state compensated landowners for the land given to the peasants, who were expected to repay the state in long term installments. Emancipation led to an unhappy, land-starved peasantry that largely followed the old ways of farming.

The throne of Spain was offered to prince Leopoldo HOHENZOLLERN-Sigmaringen. If he assumed the throne of Spain, France would be surrounded by Hohenzollerns. France objected and William I wrote an apology to them. But, Bismarck edited it to be insulting, causing France to declare war. The Second French Empire collapsed, Paris was captured, and an official peace treaty was signed. German unity had been achieved by Prussian monarchy/army. The Prussian leadership of German unification meant triumph of authoritarian, militaristic values over liberal. With its industrial resources and military might, the new state became the strongest power on the Continent. This shows PRUSSIANS ARE DOMINANT on battlefield and when war ends, Southern German States want to unity with powerful/strong north
