Three things I learned:
The restoration of most of the monarchs in nations affected by Napoleon’s rule was done by a single institution, the Congress of Vienna.
The economic and political changes of this time period were closely related and are often referred to as a dual revolution.
Ireland was the only European country whose population declined in the nineteenth century.
Two things I found interesting:
Revolutions occurred in multiple European nations in 1848, and all of them failed.
The potato crop was such a crucial part of the average Irish person’s diet that its failure was devastating and caused a significant population decrease.
One question I have:
What was the Congress of Vienna’s motivation for allowing France to keep so much of its territory?
