I've been watching these videos on the west coast. As a sophomore who is taking AP Euro, I am nervous for Friday's test. But these videos are such a BIG help! Thank you!!!!!!!
kinda scared of this ap exam these practice books make it seem tough... I don't see how a teacher would be able to talk about all these people in one semester. Thank you Mr. Tom for these vids they should save me big time lol!
I think it's also important to note that no revolution sprang in the Netherlands because the monarch at the time, King Willem II decided to fundamently alter the constitution to reform elections and effectivly reduce the power of the monarchy. Or else there probably would've been a revolution. More or less, the Netherlands has had the same structure for over 200 years now. It was also the first time we saw the use of what would later be called the polder model (a pragmatic recognition of pluriformity) Which is the way the Netherlands and sometimes Belgium make decicions on policies.
+Merel Van Rees Merel, dat valt wel mee, als de burgeroorlog van 1830 niet had plaats gevonden, waren we net zo groot als Portugal en hadden we zo'n 29,5 miljoen inwoners
@@MrJlin1982 Om even te vergeten dat België (Oostenrijkse Nederlanden) en Republiek Nederland bijna 250 jaar weinig met elkaar te maken hadden... Zou vergelijkbaar kunnen zijn met het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Verenigde Staten samen te voegen vandaag de dag (qua tijdspanne en qua uniform bewind).
Your reaction is exactly right. I was reading my textbook and it kept saying revolutions of 1848 and revolutions throughout Europe. Then my teacher, yes the revolutions of 1848 changed everything, you must know this. But myself and classmates, “but what happened???”
Mr. Richey, Is it often argued that the failure of the revolutions of 1848 led to the disillusionment of artistic and literary romanticism? I can see, albeit rather tenuously, how the revolutions of 1848 were enraptured with the ideals of emotionalism and spontaneity, which are two themes that I see throughout the forms of artistic expression during the romantic period. Could the failure to manifest these dual forces -- emotionalism and spontaneity -- in a successful revolution therefore have contributed to the emergence of realism in art and the systematic, bureaucratically-oriented revolutions led by Cavour and Bismark?
Tom Richey, Thank you for all the help. You really helped me. Sadly, my school had an ordering issue and signed me and another student up for the wrong test (they put APUSH; misclick on their spreadsheet thing) so I have to take it the 21st. I didn't know until this morning. I felt prepared going into today, but I guess I have a little bit to prepare more. I hope you keep up the content because you're amazing and it'd be great if you could help those taking the test on the International test date.
i remember this time last yer my sister almost had like 5 anxiety attacks and cried every day for like 2 weeks and pulled out a 5, while I've not studied much at all and don't care much lol
Hi Tom, I'm a big history addict, and I'm glad that I found your channel! Thanks for discussing the 1848 revolutions. I'm wondering what similarity you think that the "Arab Spring" of 2011 has with the 1848 if any? Mainly the three generalization you made, i.e.: 1. Several Arab states were swept of simultaneous revolutions. 2. These revolutions generally failed. 3. Saudi Arabia and Iran were not affected by these revolutions. Do you think that history is repeating itself in this context? Thanks, Nawaf (pronounced: Noah+F)
I've always liked the saying that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. I think you have made a valid comparison in that light. Glad to see you're enjoying this series!
I agree with you, Nawaf. Also, there were many groups coming together in the Arab Spring (Islamists, liberals, socialists, etc.) which caused an initial success but an ultimate failure.
Thanks for giving us accurate history! I love history so much. If people understood history, then we would learn from our mistakes. History is so important.
At this time, 1848, the King Fraz Joseph, from Austria-Hungary, arrived to the thone , when his father abdicared. I think I saw it at the movie Sissi. Good luck to students in the test! *BR*
I read a few college textbooks supplemented by some Wikipedia articles. I'd recommend Palmer's History of the Modern World (recent editions titled History of Europe in the Modern World) as the most thorough textbook treatment.
LOL There's no satisfying some people! I'll try to get another segment up tonight (or maybe a rough cut with all the other segments on it) so that you'll have it for your exam.
5:28 Netherlands and "Belgium" are outside of the German Confederation. Luxembourg is still in. Although I can't call it Belgium: Habsburg Netherlands or Catholic Netherlands ...
1) R u ok, u seem a little "different" than ur usual self. 2), love the color of ur blue shirt & snazzy, matching tie 3) Don't think 2 matching consonants qualifies as alliteration, sorry to be a bugger (oh u had it on the last one) 4) thanks for another juicy (meaty?) Euro vid.
1) It's exam week and things are crazy and I'm running on fumes - hope that's not too obvious! There's certainly a sense of urgency to turn out this video series under exam pressure with all else happening. Different how so? (Curious) 2) THANKS! 3) There are several words in the sentence that start with s - not just two. I don't think alliteration has to all be in a row, but I'll check. 4) Always a pleasure to perform for such a discerning, pleasantly picky, and incredibly loyal member of my audience!
Well not too be too picky but just a little bit more tense/on edge than usual, obviously big day is tomorrow for ur students so very understandable, big day for me also, in the b'day realm:). "Pleasantly picky", hmmm, have to think that one over:), yes I caught at the end you had 3 so correct - alliteration, sorry i am a writer and was an English major (also taught English) so those things come into my mind, yes i always try to catch vids u put out, i love history (partic euro) and it's a quick, enjoyable (never boring) morsel of historical past. Forge on!
Instead of calling them conservatives, how about calling them monarchists? Or royalists? That is what they were after all. I think many people do a pretty good detailed analysis of the revolutionary forces but a very poor one when it came to describing the victors of this period. It isn't like you cannot also have radical regressives (e.g., fascism). Calling it merely a conservative (regressive) v. progressive period of armed conflict merely projects today's political conflicts into another time period without really teaching them about history. Just my 2 cents. Have a good day.
