Document Summary
Lecture 7: nationalism & unifications (reading: chapter 22, pp. Identity with nation states as a way to deal with the dual revolution. Realpolitik (realism) as a reaction to the romanticism of 1848 ideals. This involved a strong state and public order. This harnessing of nationalism took the form of revolution from above instead of below. 1848 sardinia was a monarchy (house of savoy) and strongest on the peninsula: had a stable army, government, liberal middle class etc, created a constitution in 1848 to avoid uprising. Count cavour: dominated piedmontese politics, was a liberal officer who was very rich and created a lot of infrastructure. In the crimean war he sent troops to fight against russia and got favour from other international powers. Roman problem: unification and nationalism alienated the church, pius ix threatens in the syllabus of errors to excommunicate anyone who acknowledged the state or voted. Non-expidit: when pope moved to rome he announced his infallibility.
