<p>Explain the significance of Klemens von Metternich to European politics in the early 1800s.</p>
<p>Prince Klemens von Metternich changed European politics drastically in the early 1800s. He was a major figure in European politics. Thus, the era from 1809 to 1848 became widely known as the Age of Metternich. Metternich opposed nationalism and liberalism. He believed that the French Revolution should never happen again and likewise, when the monarchs in Italy and Spain succeeded in creating a liberal regime, Metternich restored the monarchies in those two countries. Metternich advocated conservatism and he sought to keep things the way they were. He believed in monarchies and he was determined to keep Europe heading in the same direction. When the Greeks demanded for independence from the Turks, Metternich refused to administer aid to the Greeks because that would result in the triumph of nationalism. His ideology and strong policy worked, but until the Revolutions of 1848, he fled and Europe changed profoundly.</p>
<p>Metternich pwned some noobs.</p>
<p>M-nich basically kept G-many in the European sphere of power following the Congress of Vienna. He crushed a whole bunch of radicals in Prussia, including the Burschenschaft (the German youth and their professors), sending a message of no-tolerance to socialism and leftism to the rest of Europe that would result in such things as the "Peterloo" massacre in England. He was the dike against the "flood" which was radicalism. In effect, he was a classical politician who returned Europe by his death in 1833 (I think) to a pre-Revolutionary, conservative state. This was to precipitate the flood that was the Revolution of 1848. Good?</p>
<p>Tell me about Post-World War II Europe in terms of demographics and social effects. </p>
<p>Discuss Cold War and ITS effects.</p>
<p>ALSOOO...It seems to me like the MC questions are really obscure (I'm basing judgment off the 38 practice questions in the syllabus). Is the free response easier to extract points out of?</p>
<p>How did Hitler and Mussolini come to power? How did Hitler's actions result in World War II?</p>
<p>Hitler and Mussolini both came to power after the world was suffering economically from the depretssion. At the time, Totalitarionism was the polical choice because these countries were facing such severe hardships they needed a leader that was different from the past</p>
<p>lol lobgent...ur question is basically an FRQ....go for something that can be answered in a couple of sentences or two....and after answering a question...please post another question!</p>
<p>What elements made Renaissance art different from the Gothic and Romanesque styles of the Late Middle Ages?</p>
<p>More realism, figures conveyed moods, emotions, through facial expressions; emphasis on an visceral object rather than a concept, the introduction of the vanishing point, more secular works, etc. etc.</p>
<p>If you answer a question you should also pose one to the forum</p>
<p>I'll ask one:
Which 19th century Russian leader brought his/her nation into the upper league among European nations. How did they go about achieving this?</p>
<p>Alexander II? Emancipation of the slaves...just a guess... its either:</p>
<p>Alexander I, Nicholas I, Alex II, Alex III, or Nicholas II lol</p>
<p>Peter The Great for branderson's question? is that right?</p>
<p>Peter the Great was 18th century...Is that what Branderson meant?</p>
<p>It is Peter the Great, taken from an AP practice</p>
<p>Score! Woot.</p>
<p>Even though Peter the Great (Enlightened Despot) made great alterations within Russia (such as the influx of Western European culture, traditions, knowledge, civil improvements, new business… in short he attempted to parallel the western society), Russia still kept most of its traditions and hence stayed mostly conservative without any greed to alter any aspect. This is especially true politically. The rise of Alexander II and Nicolas II truly sparked the dawn of Russia power as a world leader.</p>
<p>Note the above is not an answer to the present question.</p>
