Polish language was used for church gatherings and all religious instructions.

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established traditional institutions of state and society – like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies, property and the family – should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the society of pre- revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make the state's power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe. In 1815, representatives of the European powers who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon.

Treaty of Vienna of 1815 was signed to undo most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon. A series of states were set up on France’s boundaries to prevent French expansion in the future. The German confederation of 39 states that had been set up by Napoleon was left untouched. The main intention was to restore the monarchies that had been overthrown by Napoleon and create a new conservative order in Europe.

Naina Sharma answered |
In 1848, Frdric Sorrieu, a French artist, prepared a series of four prints visualising his dream of a world made up of democratic and social Republics, as he called them. The first print of the series shows the peoples of Europe and America men and women of all ages and social classes marching in a long train and offering homage to the Statue of Liberty as they pass by it. As you would recall, artists of the French Revolution personified Liberty as a female figure here. You can recognise the torch of Enlightenment she bears in one hand and the Charter of citizens’ rights in the other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieus utopian vision, the world’s peoples are grouped as distinct nations, identified through their ags and national costume.

Background of the Treaty of Vienna
The Treaty of Vienna, signed in 1815, was a pivotal agreement that aimed to reshape Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. Its primary focus was to restore stability and order, particularly through the reinstatement of traditional monarchies that had been disrupted during the revolutionary period.
Key Objectives of the Treaty
- Restoration of Monarchies: The treaty aimed to reinstate the monarchs who had been dethroned during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. This was seen as essential for maintaining a balance of power in Europe and preventing the rise of any single dominant state.
- Establishment of a Balance of Power: The great powers of Europe, including Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain, sought to ensure that no single nation could become too powerful, which could lead to future conflicts.
- Territorial Adjustments: The treaty involved significant territorial changes to reinforce the power of monarchies and create a buffer against France, thus preventing future French aggression.
Significance of the Restoration
Restoring monarchies was significant because:
- It represented a rejection of revolutionary ideals that promoted republicanism and nationalism.
- It aimed to create a conservative order that would last, leading to nearly a century of relative peace in Europe until World War I.
In summary, the Treaty of Vienna's primary purpose was to restore the monarchies that had been displaced, ensuring a conservative political landscape across Europe and establishing a framework for international relations that prioritized stability over revolutionary change.

1 January 1834
The Zollverein (pronounced [ˈtsɔlfɛɐ̯ˌʔaɪn]), or German Customs Union, was a coalition of German states formed to manage tariffs and economic policies within their territories. Organized by the 1833 Zollverein treaties, it formally started on 1 January 1834. However, its foundations had been in development from 1818 with the creation of a variety of custom unionsamong the German states. By 1866, the Zollvereinincluded most of the German states. The foundation of the Zollverein was the first instance in history in which independent states consummated a full economic union without the simultaneous creation of a political federation or union.[1]

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:One such individual was the Italian revolutionary, Giuseppe Mazzini. Born in Genoa in 1807, he became a member of the secret society of the Carbonari. As a young man of 24, he was sent into exile in 1831 for attempting a revolution in Liguria. He subsequently founded two more underground societies, first, Young Italy in Marseilles, and then, Young Europe in Berne, whose members were like-minded young men from Poland, France, Italy and the German states. Mazzini believed that God had intended nations to be the natural units of mankind. So Italy could not continue to be a patchwork of small states and kingdoms. It had to be forged into a single unified republic within a wider alliance of nations. This unification alone could be the basis of Italian liberty. Following his model, secret societies were set up in Germany, France, Switzerland and Poland. Mazzini’s relentless opposition to monarchy and his vision of democratic republics frightened the conservatives.

One such individual was the Italian revolutionary, Giuseppe Mazzini. Born in Genoa in 1807, he became a member of the secret society of the Carbonari. As a young man of 24, he was sent into exile in 1831 for attempting a revolution in Liguria. He subsequently founded two more underground societies, first, Young Italy in Marseilles, and then, Young Europe in Berne, whose members were like-minded young men from Poland, France, Italy and the German states. Mazzini believed that God had intended nations to be the natural units of mankind. So Italy could not continue to be a patchwork of small states and kingdoms. It had to be forged into a single unified republic within a wider alliance of nations. This unification alone could be the basis of Italian liberty. Following his model, secret societies were set up in Germany, France, Switzerland and Poland. Mazzini’s relentless opposition to monarchy and his vision of democratic republics frightened the conservatives. Metternich described him as ‘the most dangerous enemy of our social order’.

During the early nineteenth century, Europe were closely allied to the ideology of liberalism. In reference to economy this liberalism denotes freedom of market, less restrictions of state on the movement of goods and capitals. To get rid of these economic problems that was the main demand of the new emerged middle class.
Existence of countless small principalities, different currencies, number of customs barriers created obstacles to economic exchange and growth for the new commercial classes. To sort out that problem Prussia including with most of the German states formed a customs union or Zollverein in 1834.

The Zollverein abolished tariff barriers, reduced number of currencies, create network of railways for fast and heavy mobility. So a single solution for all these economic problems was known by the name of Zollverein.

Explanation:
Germany had a long history of political fragmentation similar to Italy.
Reasons:
- Germans were scattered over several dynastic states as well as the multi-national Habsburg Empire.
- During the middle of the nineteenth century, Germany was divided into several states, each with its own ruler.
- The north was under the control of the Prussian Hohenzollerns, the south was ruled by the Bavarian Wittelsbachs, and the central regions were under the influence of the Austrian Habsburgs.
- Even the German language had not acquired one common form and still had many regional and local variations.
Therefore, like Italy, Germany also faced political fragmentation due to the presence of various states and rulers, leading to a lack of political unity and a shared national identity.

The spirit of Conservatism drove European governments after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society-the Church, social hierarchies, property and family-should be preserved. They also realised that modernisation could strengthen conventional institutions like the monarchy and a return to the society of the pre-revolutionary days was not required.

In 1815, representatives of the conservative European powers were Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria .
Conservatism as a political ideology arose after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. The conservative regimes :
- Were autocratic
- Were intolerant to criticism and dissent
- Adopted the censorship of press for curbing the liberal ideals
- Discouraged any questions that challenged their legitimacy
The contribution of Conservatism stands for the preservation of the traditional institutions of state and society such as the monarchy, the church, social hierarchies and family along with the modern changes introduced by Napoleon.

In the German regions, a large number of political associations whose members were middle-class professionals, businessmen and prosperous artisans, came together in the city of Frankfurt and decided to vote for an all-German National Assembly. On 18 May, 1848, 831 elected representatives marched in a festive Procession to take their places in the Frankfurt Parliament convened in the Church of St Paul. They drafted a constitution for a German nation to be headed by a monarchy subject to a parliament. When the deputies offered the crown on these terms to Friedrich Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia, he rejected it and joined other monarchs to oppose the elected assembly. While the opposition of the aristocracy and military became stronger, the social basis of parliament eroded. The Parliament was dominated by the middle classes who resisted the demands of workers and artisans and consequently lost their support. In the end, troops were called in and the assembly was forced to disband. The issue of extending political rights to women was a controversial one within the liberal movement, in which large numbers of women had participated actively over the years. Women had formed their own political associations, founded newspapers and taken part in political meetings and demonstrations. Despite this, they were denied suffrage rights during the election of the Assembly.

The Serfs were bound to the land of a particular lord and could not migrate without his permission. Serfdom was a condition in medieval Europe in which a tenant farmer was bound to a hereditary plot of land and to the will of his landlord. The vast majority of serfs in medieval Europe obtained their subsistence by cultivating a plot of land that was owned by a lord.

Young Italy was a secret society founded by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1831 with the aim of creating a united and independent Italian nation. It played a significant role in the Italian unification movement, also known as the Risorgimento. The society was based on Mazzini's vision of Italy as a unified republic, free from foreign domination and oppression.
Mazzini's Vision of Italy:
Giuseppe Mazzini, an Italian politician, journalist, and activist, envisioned a united Italy that would be governed by a republican government. He believed in the principles of democracy, freedom, and national self-determination. Mazzini saw Italy as a diverse country with a rich cultural heritage that should be united under a common identity. His vision aimed to liberate Italy from foreign rule and establish a nation where all Italians could live in harmony.
Formation of Young Italy:
In order to promote his vision and mobilize support, Mazzini founded Young Italy. The society aimed to unite young Italians from different regions and social classes in the pursuit of Italian independence. It sought to create a sense of national identity and instill a spirit of patriotism among its members. Young Italy organized lectures, published newspapers, and distributed pamphlets to spread its ideas and recruit supporters.
Objectives and Activities:
The main objective of Young Italy was to achieve Italian unification through revolutionary means. It called for the establishment of a democratic republic, where all Italians would have equal rights and opportunities. The society believed that only a united Italy could effectively resist foreign domination and secure the freedom of its people.
Young Italy conducted various activities to achieve its goals. It organized clandestine meetings, disseminated revolutionary literature, and encouraged its members to participate in political activism. It also supported secret societies and revolutionary movements in other European countries, with the hope of inspiring similar uprisings and revolutions in Italy.
Impact and Legacy:
Young Italy played a crucial role in shaping the nationalist sentiment and political consciousness in Italy. It inspired a generation of young Italians to actively participate in the struggle for independence and unification. The society's emphasis on nationalism and republican ideals influenced the thinking of many Italian revolutionaries and leaders, including Giuseppe Garibaldi and Camillo di Cavour.
While Young Italy's revolutionary activities did not directly lead to immediate success in achieving Italian unification, it contributed significantly to the broader movement for national unity. The society's efforts laid the groundwork for future developments, such as the formation of secret societies, the emergence of political organizations, and the eventual unification of Italy in 1861.
In conclusion, Young Italy was a secret society founded by Giuseppe Mazzini with the aim of promoting Italian nationalism and independence. It sought to unite young Italians under a common vision of a united and democratic Italy. Although it did not achieve immediate success, Young Italy played a pivotal role in shaping the nationalist movement and laying the foundations for the eventual unification of Italy.

Within the vast swathe of territory that came under his control, Napoleon set about introducing many of the reforms he had already introduced in France. Through a return to monarchy, Napoleon had, no doubt destroyed democracy in France. Still, in the administrative eld, he had incorporated revolutionary principles to make the whole system more rational and efficient. The Civil Code of 1804, usually known as the Napoleonic Code did away with all privileges based on birth, established equality before the law and secured the property right. This Code was exported to the regions under French control. In the Dutch Republic, in Switzerland, Napoleon simplified administrative divisions in Italy and Germany, abolished the feudal system, and freed peasants from serfdom and manorial dues. In the towns too, guild restrictions were removed. Transport and communication systems were improved. Peasants, artisans, workers and new business people enjoyed a new-found freedom. Business people and small-scale producers of goods, in particular, began to realise that uniform laws, standardised weights and measures, and a shared national currency would facilitate the movement and exchange of goods and capital from one region to another.

Frédéric Sorrieu’s print depicts a utopian vision of a world where all nations coexist peacefully in democracy and fraternity. It shows a procession of nations, each identified by their flags and costumes, moving towards liberty. The image symbolizes hope for unity, freedom, and democracy, even for nations like Germany, which were not yet unified at the time.

The German Oak stands for Heroism. In the 18th and 19th-century, artists began personifying a nation in the form of an allegory. Germania was the female figure wearing a crown of oak leaves. The oak leaves represented heroism.
Read the source given below and answer the questions that follows:Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established traditional institutions of state and society – like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies, property and the family – should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the society of pre- revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make the state's power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe. In 1815, representatives of the European powers who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon. A series of states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French expansion in future.Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate option.What did conservatives focus on at the Congress of Vienna?

The conservatives' goal at the meeting, led by Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria, was said to be to re-establish peace in Europe. Metternich and the other four states sought to do so by restoring the old ruling families and to create buffer zones between the major powers.

Leading the procession, way past the Statue of Liberty, are the United States and Switzerland, which by this time were already nation-states. France, identifiable by the revolutionary tricolour, has just reached the statue. She is followed by the peoples of Germany, bearing the black, red and gold ag. Interestingly, when Sorrieu created this image, the German peoples did not yet exist as a united nation the ag they carry is an expression of liberal hopes in 1848 to unify the numerous German-speaking principalities into a nation-state under a democratic constitution. Following the German peoples are Austria, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Lombardy, Poland, England, Ireland, Hungary and Russia. From the heavens above, Christ, saints and angels gaze upon the scene. The artist has used them to symbolise fraternity among the nations of the world.

1.There were many state imposed restrictions on the movement of goods, capital and people across different places.
2.There was no freedom of markets.
3.For example, in the German confederation of 39 states set up by Napolean, all the states had different system of weights and measures and different currencies. Since duties were charged on the basis of weight and measurement of the goods, the process of levying duties was very time consuming.

An event that mobilised nationalist feelings among the educated elite across Europe was the Greek war of independence. Greece had been part of the Ottoman Empire since the fifteenth century. The growth of revolutionary nationalism in Europe sparked off a struggle for independence amongst the Greeks which began in 1821. Nationalists in Greece got support from other Greeks living in exile and also from many West Europeans who had sympathies for ancient Greek culture. Poets and artists lauded Greece as the cradle of European civilisation and mobilised public opinion to support its struggle against a Muslim empire. The English poet Lord Byron organised funds and later went to fight in the war, where he died of fever in 1824. Finally, the Treaty of Constantinople of 1832 recognised Greece as an independent nation.
