I delivered the Powerpoint presentation on the Congress of Vienna in class today. I will be sending this presentation out to you this evening, please make sure that you convert it to a Word document and then print it off. I have also sent you three addtional handouts. One is entitled "Reaction to Revolution" and it provides a nice summary of Chapter 5 and it has some key terms on it as well. The other two handouts are due on Friday, they are: "Revolution" (this chart, once completed will help summarize when and where revolutions took place in Europe, and what were some of the causes and results) and "The Congress of Vienna" (which deals with the territorial changes that took place as a result of the Congress of Vienna. Speaking of the Congress of Vienna, here is a hyperlink to a student's work on this subject. Think of this as supplementary notes.
