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
– Marxists• The revisionists are bourgeois toadies! When the revolution comes, we will slit
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
