Ypsilantis was soon defeated by the Turks, but, in the meantime, on March 25, 1821 (the traditional date of Greek independence), sporadic revolts against Turkish rule had broken out in the Peloponnese (Modern Greek: Pelopónnisos), in Greece north of the Gulf of Corinth (Korinthiakós), and on several islands. Within a year the rebels had gained control of the Peloponnese, and in January 1822 they declared the independence of Greece. ]]> 2021-10-13 15:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1814426458 25wierzbickiadison https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1814430697 2021-10-13 15:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1814430697 25wierzbickiadison https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1815817676 On September 7, 1822, Prince Dom Pedro declared Brazil's independence from Portugal, founding the Empire of Brazil, which led to a two-year war of independence.

In Prussia the lower house was elected under a restricted three-class suffrage system, an electoral law that allowed the richest 15 percent of the male population to choose approximately 85 percent of the delegates. A conservative majority was always assured in Prussia, whereas the universal manhood suffrage resulted in increasing majorities for the political centre and left-wing parties in the imperial parliament. Like the Kulturkampf, the campaign against the SPD was a failure, and, when the 1890 elections showed enormous gains for the Reichsfeinde, Bismarck began to consider having the German princes reconvene, as in 1867, to draw up a new constitution.  ]]> 2021-10-14 03:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1815877618 25wierzbickiadison https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1815881193 2021-10-14 03:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1815881193 25wierzbickiadison https://padlet.com/25wierzbickiadison/e3zodbgkaylwihfw/wish/1815888036 On July 20, 1810, Colombian patriots stirred the population of Bogotá into street protests against Spanish rule.
