How did Nationalism and Liberalism cause revolts
Firstly, the industrial change encouraged the development of nationalism. At that time, railway, unified measurement and currency helped the development of trade. On the other hand, they also stimulated nationalism because sense of belonging was developed. Moreover, industrial change led to the rise of bourgeoisie who would ask for political liberalism; i.e. democracy, economic liberalism; i.e. free trade, and human rights. All these facilitated the development of liberalism in Europe. Secondly, Romantic Movement also helped the two forces. Romanticism stressed on the feeling of freedom and tradition and hence stimulated liberalism and nationalism. Lastly, successful examples of revolt also encouraged other people to start revolutions for liberalism and nationalism. all these revolts showed that nationalism and liberalism were not uprooted; on the contrary, they were growing stronger and stronger in Europe.
Quadruple Alliance
Formed for purpose of defeating Napoleon Included Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, Austria "Holy Alliance"
How did Cavour unite Italy
Giuseppe Mazzini and his leading pupil, Giuseppe Garibaldi, failed in their attempt to create an Italy united by democracy. Garibaldi, supported by his legion of Red Shirts-- mostly young Italian democrats who used the 1848 revolutions as a opportunity for democratic uprising--failed in the face of the resurgence of conservative power in Europe. However, it was the aristocratic politician named Camillo di Cavour who finally, using the tools of realpolitik, united Italy under the crown of Sardinia. Realpolitik" is the notion that politics must be conducted in terms of the realistic assessment of power and the self-interest of individual nation-states (and the pursuit of those interests by any means, often ruthless and violent ones) and Cavour used it superbly. In 1855, as prime minister of Sardinia, he involved the kingdom on the British and French side of the Crimean War, using the peace conference to give international publicity to the cause of Italian unification. In 1858, he formed an alliance with France, one that included a pledge of military support if necessary, against Austria, Italy's major obstacle to unification. After a planned provocation of Vienna, Austria declared war against Sardinia in 1859 and was easily defeated by the French army. The peace, signed in November 1959 in Zurich, Switzerland, joined Lombardy, a formerly Austrian province, with Sardinia. In return, France received Savoy and Nice from Italy--a small price to pay for paving the way to unification.
How did Bismark unite Germany
In order to get the German states to unify, Bismarck needed a single, outside enemy that would declare war on one of the German states first, thus providing a casus belli to rally all Germans behind. This opportunity arose with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.
