All I've been doing this weekend is studying. I had an exam Friday and have 3 exams next Tuesday, along with a 10 page paper due. My paper's on Catherine the Great's personality and sex life. It's pretty interesting, so that helps. I'm taking a break for the rest of the night I think. Tomorrow I have to work, I'm going to The Game (Chi's 101 hour softball game), and studying with Marco and Meredith.

Just for fun I'll post my study guide for Modern Europe:

Nicholas I- wrote a letter to Queen Victoria, describing the collapse of the old order, saying their two countries were the only ones still in order. Only England and Russia don't have a serious threat to their status quo.
Cieli- party music, or tells a story of national pride of the past in Gaelic.
Risorgimento- the Italian movement for freedom.
Charles Albert- the king of Piedmont.
*the revolutions began on Jan. 12, 1848 on the Italian peninsula and the island of Sicily. By Feb. 1 Charles of Piedmont and the Pope Pius IX discussed how to unite Italy.
Louis Phillipe- king of France at the time, refused to move toward republicanism.
Francois Guizot- was also against republicanism/allowing everyone to vote.
Feb. 21, 1848- the govt. outlawed banquets of people getting together and discussing a new republic. The people barracaded the streets. Louise Phillipe called out the national guard and demands them to crush the people, most of the refused. Guizot orders his troops to surround his property which was being invaded. 20 demonstrators are killed and the guards parade their bodies through the city as a warning. The people erupt even more. Louis Phillipe fled to England. The people took over the Chamber of Deputies, proclaimed France was now a republic. They made a provisional govt. of 10 men to take a nation whom had never had a republic and turn it into one. 7 were pure republican and 3 were socialist republicans.
Alphonse de LaMartine- a Catholic poet. He headed the executive board.--the executive board was so diverse they could never agree on anything. He was one of the pure republicans out of the 10 men.
Louis Blanc- one of the 3 socialist republicans.
Saint Simon- the man Louis Blanc got his ideas from.
Radical Collectives- later known as National Workshops. They were projects for unemployment relief. The people working in them were promised to make 2 francs a day. All the people streamed to Paris to work in one of these workshops, but there were too many people. The people became more angry.
Louis Cavaignac- sent from France to Algeria to stop a rebellion, he was successful.
Constitution of 1848- created a president in France with a 4 year term. Also created a unicameral legislature. The president and the house were to be elected by universal manhood sufferage. The president had no veto power, therefore the house had the most power. The president cannot be re-elected.
*Candidates for election:
Louis Cavaignac- promises stability
Alexander Ledru-Rollin- a socialist
Alphonse De LaMartine- didn't have details, lofty words.
Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte- nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte I. He campaigned from outside the country. He doesn't clarify his position, but wins by a landslide. His father was Louis Phillipe. He later becomes unsatisfied with being president and wants to run again. On December 2, 1851 Napoleon takes over. He proclaims the creation of the 2nd French Empire and himself as Emporer Napoleon III. He crowned himself and his wife, not the pope. The people traded political liberty for stability for him. One of Napoleon's goals was to show off their wealth. He got rid of the poor people buildings and made Paris a city of successful, satisfied, and stable people. Napoleon became the example of success. He makes France respected once again, people felt safe and secure.

The Gold Standard- after the discovery of gold in the U.S. and Australia meant more gold available to the world. The more money available meant better stability.
Limited Liability- if an investor invests $100 in an invention, the only money they are responsible for is what they've invested. This causes industry to grow in every way, creates more materialism.

He gets this job on a ship called the H.M.S. Beagle. The ship was on a science expedition. While studying he noticed the differences of plants and animals from one island to the next. He also studied fossils. With the help of Malthus' essay on population he decides weaker species cannot survive due to competition for food.
H.M.S. Beagle- the ship of the science expedition that Darwin went on.
Origin of Species- about natural selection. Individual plants and animals w/favorable characteristics will transmit what helps them stay alive to the next generation and what does not will not transmit. He may have waited to publish it b/c he didn't know if it was worth it since it was so controversial. When he does he is attacked from every direction. He also published it b/c someone else was also coming out with a similar theory.

After graduating from college he wrote for a paper which was eventually censored due to his articles. He was very critical about classes and working conditions, an imp. article was about a winery. He was exiled from Berlin. He was very self assured that he was right, this made him hard to get along with. He praised industry for the stuff they created, but criticized them for the conditions they created. He said nationalism was a bourgeoisie idea. He didn't want Communist Russian, China, etc. The problem with his theories was you didn't know how to make them work.
Georg F. Hegel- Marx was fascinated w/his philosophy. Hegel said the human development went through stages.
Dialectic- the human development through stages.
The Communist Manifesto- a sort of missions statement that said, "workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains."
Friedrich Engels- his family was successful industrialists, had a factory in Manchester. Worked with Marx.

The Socialist Revolutionary Party & The Social Democratic Society- the groups that try to stage the revolution in Russia.
Purists- led by Marx, said that you don't collaborate w/anyone to bring about change.
