Unit 4: Nationalism (Review)


Our Group Choose the story of the revolt against the czar, in Russia. The revolt happened because the, the serfs wanted to be free, Under Alexander I, the serfs were close to be free because Alexander I wanted to spread liberal ideas, but when he died, and the new czar took the throne, he banned many books that may spread ideas of liberalism, when he died, and Alexander II inherited the throne, he didn't wanted to free the serfs, but liberals wanted change, and students also wanted the freedom of the serfs, soon Alexander II was pressed from all sides and finally he issued a decree that free the serfs. But in our poppet show, the serfs killed the czar,

and that didn't happened in the real story. I think that my group needed a lot of more information, but unfortunately, i didn't help at all, i helped during the construction of the puppets but not at the show. :(


The same history of repression happened with Hungary when the fight for a self government. In 1867 Francis Deak created a new political agreement, and in that agreement Hungary and Austria were separate states, both states had their own constitution and their own parliament, but they shared ministries of finance, defense, and foreign affairs. And after a while a nationalist leader called the slaves to unite and fight for their rights, and by 1900s, nationalist oppressed the government. until they solved the political problems.
