You wrote your Nationalism Test today. If it seemed easy, that's great! It's NOT an easy test, both classes did exceptionally well on it. I'll give you the results tomorrow. Remember to go directly to the Blenheim Room tomorrow. This will be the last class period that I will give you to work on your French Revolution/Napoleonic Era Board Game Project. Don't forget that your Chapter 5 questions are due tomorrow (Q1-12).

the questions are hard....
Umm for my chapter 5 questions me and my friend did them together on the computer were in different clases, 20-3 and 20-4, but we were wondering if we could both just use the answers or do we have to change them so they are not the same
if we can both use them should we put both our names on both sheets, or just our own name??
thanx 20-4

If it's an excused absence, then yes.
why did the attitudes of the congress participants change after napoleons return from exile, it wsays nothing of their attitudes in the book.

Central Europe is important to Europe because it is right in between two major powers at the time of the Congress of Vienna: France and Russia. Central Europe, in the this case, the German states could act as "watchdogs" to prevent France from dominating Europe again. The strength of Central Europe was key to maintaining a "balance of power" in Europe in the Age of Metternich, Prussia and Austria had to be strong states to keep France in check.

Think about it. The Congress of Vienna is meeting to "turn back the clock" to restore Europe to way things were before the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars had expanded the French empire, and now Napoleon was returning to Europe from exile to "mess things up" again.
you also missed Gavrilo princip, ' black hand,' and douglas haig
