Europe 170 years ago today: Erfurt Union (29 Apr 1850) https://buff.ly/2yQz94A The restoration of Austrian power in Hungary and northern Italy encouraged Hanover and Saxony to abandon their alliance with Prussia. Undeterred, the Prussians pushed ahead with the creation of the Erfurt Union, successfully drawing most of the smaller German states into a new federation under Prussian leadership. #1850 #1850s #19thcentury #april #april29 #austrianempire #germanconfederation #bavaria #carta #europe #europeanhistory #germanhistory #saxony #hanover #history #historybuff #historygram #historymatters #historyteacher #mapmaking #maps #prussia #victorian #victorianera #welovehistory #worldhistory #yearrevolutions #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Erfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_jwHilA6-j/?igshid=ep8r2yxus6dd

Europe 186 years ago today: First Carlist War (17 June 1834) https://buff.ly/37ADRkl Opposition to liberal reforms in Spain led to an uprising in 1833, with the pro-absolutist Carlists supporting the claim of Prince Carlos to the Spanish throne over the infant Isabella II. Supported by the British, French, and newly liberal Portuguese, the Spanish liberals eventually prevailed in a six-year war. Even so, they would face repeated Carlist-related unrest into the 1870s. #1830s #19thcentury #axisallies #cartografia #europe #europeanhistory #germanconfederation #historias #history #historyclass #historylesson #historymaker #historyteacher #june #june17 #mapmaking #maps #prussia #riskgame #russianempire #spain #carlists #ottomanempire #espana #portugal #liberalism #ageofrevolution #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Zaragoza, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBh5WAvgZfQ/?igshid=cqjbdjn8tzgw

Europe 199 years ago today: Revolutions of 1820 (28 Sep 1820) https://buff.ly/2Hb4zUX Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Great Powers attempted to stand together to preserve the stability of the old European order against the growing force of liberalism. Although the British and Germans temporarily succeeded in suppressing liberalism in 1819, liberal revolutionaries—partially inspired by the independence struggle in Latin America—took power in Spain, Portugal, and the Two Sicilies in 1820. #1820 #1820s #19thcentury #september #austrianempire #carbonari #cartographer #europe #europeanhistory #germanconfederation #greekindependence #historian #historic #historicalplace #historie #history #historylover #historynerd #historyteacher #italy #map #mapping #maps #portugal #september28 #sicily #twosicilies #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Naples, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B28zGwxg7X9/?igshid=1s3lvkn81qk2a

Europe 170 years ago today: Restoring the Old Order (28 Aug 1849) https://buff.ly/2PhYFaD The French capture of Rome effectively brought an end to the revolution of 1848 in Italy, allowing Austria to reassert its traditional dominance in the north in August. At the same time, Russian intervention helped Austria crush the Hungarian rebellion while Prussia stamped out the last remnants of republicanism in Germany. #europe #history #welovehistory #map #1840s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1849 #august #august28 #austrianempire #germanconfederation #europeanhistory #frenchempire #prussia #hungarianhistory #russianempire #prussia #yearofrevolutions #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Világos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1so9-PABHq/?igshid=1bqmcu51khi3i

Europe 153 years ago today: Outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War (14 Jun 1866) https://buff.ly/2F8Hcdt After the war with Denmark, Austria and Prussia were left in control of Schleswig-Holstein. However the Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck really wanted both duchies and connived to provoke a war with Austria. Most of the German states backed Austria, voting for mobilization against Prussia in the German Federal Diet. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1860s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1866 #austrianempire #europeanhistory #germanunification #germanconfederation #holstein #june #june14 #ottovonbismarck #prussia #schleswig #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #germanhistory (at Schleswig, Schleswig-Holstein) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byrw5ilgUZK/?igshid=hxgvpf7e7wpe

Europe 171 years ago today: June Days (23 Jun 1848) https://buff.ly/2KxtHrU The apparent success of the European revolutions belied the divisions between the city-based reformers, who desired everything from moderate reforms to the complete overthrow of the current systems of government, and the general population, who were often traditionalists. Thus when the new French Republic implemented universal male suffrage, the people elected a conservative government. Shocked, the urban workers and radicals took to the streets of Paris in June but were crushed by the National Guard. The monarchies of Europe took note - if even France could rein in its revolutionaries, so could they. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1840s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1848 #austrianempire #europeanhistory #frenchhistory #germanconfederation #yearofrevolutions #june #june23 #russianempire #ottomanempire #yearrevolutions #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCmPQAAF4m/?igshid=7fbi1h2n5zkb

Europe 171 years ago today: German Question (03 May 1848) https://buff.ly/2V5BZNv The 1848 call for German unification had led to nationalists congregating in Frankfurt to establish a national assembly and work on replacing the German Confederation with an Empire. While there was some debate over whether German-speaking Austria would be included in the new Germany, there was little over Schleswig-Holstein, which had just thrown off Danish rule. In mid-April, the embryonic National Assembly declared war on Denmark, sending a Prussian-led mixed German army to Schleswig. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1848 #austria #baden #denmark #europeanhistory #frankfurt #germanconfederation #germanhistory #germanunification #holstein #schleswigholstein #may #may3 #prussia #austrianempire #schleswig #habsburg #hohenzollern #yearofrevolutions #yearrevolutions #maps #todayinhistory #welovehistory #historyteacher #historybuff (at Flensburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_nsD_APdB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=112s5z31cvmix

Europe 153 years ago today: End of the German Confederation (24 Jun 1866) https://buff.ly/2X1P32y Prussia responded swiftly to the German Federal Diet's vote for mobilization, declaring the German Confederation at an end and occupying Austria's northern allies. Meanwhile Italy joined the war against Austria and launched an invasion of Venitia, only to be beaten back at Custoza just days later. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1860s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1866 #austrianempire #europeanhistory #germanconfederation #germanunification #germany #june #june24 #napoleoniii #prussia #bismarck #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Frankfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzFbQKAApGG/?igshid=175dtn46i3lj6
