Post New Nationalism/Unification Themes- 1871 to 1914• Full franchise/suffrage

– Women’s suffrage movement grew • New Nationalist Conservative Leaders Increase Int’l Tension

– Attempts to win over domestic mob often pits countries against each other – Rising tariffs, for example

• Growing Persecution of Minority Groups – An outgrowth of nationalism and Social Darwinism

• Rise of the Welfare State – Prussia first – Conservative Nationalist effort to maintain popular support

• Revisionists versus Marxists – Revisionists

• Real wages are going up for workers• Marx was wrong• We must revise Marx to work within the system • Social programs and Unions

your throats, too. – Many socialists will choose nationalism in WWI

Cook’s Tour of Late 19th Century Europe

Germany

• Unified

• Exploding industrialization – ‘the arms of Krupp’

• Strong Socialist Movements – Bismarck Responds, Increasing social programs– Germany has first anywhere

• social security

• Kaiser William II is a foolish fool who foolishly fires Bismarck

France

• French Humiliation– Napoleon III had fallen – Loss of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany – Liberals/Radicals in Paris revolt (‘Paris Commune’)

but were crushed by conservative forces

• France as Republic– Unity for a while, but damaged by Dreyfus Affair

• That story is in a later lecture

– Conservatives and Liberal/Radicals were at odds as WWI approached

England

• Splendid Isolation • Focus on Atlantic

economy (and eventually imperialism)

• Growing suffrage and liberal reforms

• Irish problem – Protestant Ulsterites v

Catholic – ‘No Home Rule’ poster

Austria-Hungary

• Dual monarchy

• Torn by conflicting national ambitions

• True also of Ottoman Empire!

Russia • Not truly modern

– Like Austria-Hungary, weakened by nationalism

– Further weakened by ‘backwardness’ and serfdom

• 90% are agricultural • Open field system

• Loss of Crimean War Forces Russia to Make Tough Steps Toward Modernization– Proof of European ‘Balance of Power’

desires to keep Russia weak – Also touched off by holy land issue– Serf system change to communal land

system… still inefficient– This was an attempt to prevent a flood

to the cities of landless Proletariat, who, as we’ve seen, are a destabilizing force

Russia (Continued)

• Assassination of Tsar Alexander II Ended Political Modernization

• Economic modernization continued– Trans Siberian Railroad– 4th leading world producer of Steel – Half of the world’s oil

• 1905 Revolution – Sparked by ultra-humiliating loss to Japan – Bloody Sunday– Revolution follows the pattern… revolutionaries

can’t agree– Duma set up, but rigged so that it was basically

just a mouthpiece for the Tsar

USA

• Manifest Destiny – Completed by defeat of

Mexico and Northern victory in the Civil War

• Exploding industrialization– Perhaps built on the backs

of slave cotton

• U.S. Becomes a World Player
