1.     How was russia changed by the Congress of Vienna? Maira Soliman

a.     What did russia gain or lose (including land and political power) from the Congress of Vienna?

The Russian Empire gained a few things from the Congress of Vienna. It took control of the Polish city of Warsaw. Warsaw was originally a city controlled by Poland but was later changed to a polish independent city or kingdom controlled by the Russian Empire. This was a huge gain for the Empire as it got recognition as a European Power and Empire rather than an Asian empire. Russia’s main goal was to keep monarchy system alive and well. Later the Spanish Monarchy was restored and this made Russia able to keep its claim over the land of Finland virtually lost nothing from Congress of Vienna.

b.     Were your russia s leaders and people satisfied with the outcome of the Congress of Vienna? Why or why not?

                       The Russian people and leaders were quite satisfied and happy with the outcome of the Congress of Vienna. The Congress of Vienna resulted in many gains for the Russian Empire such as parts of land and political power over the the settlement. Russia was one of the only countries that did not lose anything. This all made the Russian Empire as a whole happy. 

4 c.  After unification, a number of descendents of former royal nobility became regular residents of Italy, 7,387 families became normal. This made the higher class much less and tampered with the feudal system in Italy. With unification, the new kingdom faced serious economic problems and economic division. (Italy depended only on foreign trade and international price of coal and grain). One Big Consequence is that with Italy becoming a nation the nationalist ideology became very strong. This Ideology changed from nationalism to fascism. Italian fascism had a big part in the start of World War I and influenced German Nazism in World War II.
