Napoleon III was an emperor of France from 1852 to 1870. 

                                                                         He was elected president of the Second French Republic in 1848, in 1851 he stages a coop d'etat and reestablished the empire. 

Napoleons government also fostered the rapid economic growth of France (1848, 1870). He was born in Paris on April 20, 1808. Napoleons full name was "Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte," but he was more commonly known as Louis Napoleon. 
Napoleon was a fascinating leader, having a roll in many events throughout history; such as, between 1848 and 1870, the Crimean War was happening, which involved him, as well as the unifications of Italy and Germany. ]]> 2018-03-05 17:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amahan1/tcv74m7wmmy3/wish/238243336 amahan1 https://padlet.com/amahan1/tcv74m7wmmy3/wish/238274414 750,000 lives. The Crimean War took 750,000 lives, making it one of the most devastating wars of the 19th century. Many people forget about it now, how could they? With so many lives lost? Let's get into it.

                                                                    The war was fought between several countries, but eventually came to a close after the Treaty of Paris was signed between Russia and victorious alliances,  including; France, England, the Ottoman Empire and Sardinia. This war lasted only two and a half years.

Despite the name, the Crimean War wasn't exclusively fought in Crimea, the early parts were fought in the Balkans and Turkey. It only shifted to Crimea after the allies invaded the peninsula in September 1854. Even though they were allies, many of them weren't fond of each other.

                                  Fun fact: This was the first war to have news correspondents and battlefield photographers.

Around this time people started to sync their culture and beliefs, acting with nationalism. Nationalism is having pride in ones country and the want to be with the same people of your culture. 

Going back to Napoleon, he encouraged the unfication by taking over masses of lands, forcing the confederation of the Rhine. The congress of Germany also created a German confederation of 39 states, they were all separated. 

Some barriers: 1. France preferred 39 weak states rather than 1 nation 
                           2. Prussia was the most powerful state 
                           3. Rules feared loss of power 
Between 1806 and 1812 Napoleon had made important territorial changes to German speakers such as the confederation. 

Most of the people that were important were worried more about expanding than nationalism. Everything was calm after the war. 

Giuseppe Mazzini: One of the three men that made the unification of Italy possible. He was a republican, lead revolts, formed young Italy and believed the only way to get what they wanted was through popular uprising. 

Giuseppe Garibaldi: The second of the three men, he was a republican, military leader and a fighter. 

Count Camillo Di Cavour: The third of the men that made the unification of Italy possible. He was a Sardinian Nobleman, Prime minister, and he planned Piedmont-Sardinia's revolt against Austria. Italy, was isolated, and proud of their heritage, making it easier for them to be unified.

It was a conflct between France and Prussia that signaled the ride of German military power and imperialism. This war was provoked by Otto Von Bismark. This was apart of his plan to create a unified German Empire. Germany believed France to be the aggressor, the states of South Germany joined the North German confederation just like Bismark had hoped. The german military was in the hands of Helmuth Karl Bernherd von Moltke. While on the France side, Napoleon III had taken active command, but soon went to Marshal Bazaine.

The germans defeated the French in 1870, at Wissembourg and forced a wedge between their forces. The germans defeated the French, and captured Napoleon and Mal Maon along with 100,000 men. After the war, France agreed to pay $1 billion over 3 years. This caused more conflict that Paris wasn't having and therefore the second siege of Paris (April-May, 1871) happened, and after this cruel thing happened, pease returned to France.

The war started in the Cuban struggle for their independence from Spain, that began in February 1895. Spain had brutal measures to halt the rebellion. Both Cuba and Spain wanted the United States to intervene, after the sinking in Havana harbour of the bottle ship USS Maine.

Spain declared war against the U.S. on April 24, an the U.S. declared war on the 25th. After a brutal war, Spain claimed defeat, with the Treaty of Paris signed December 10th, 1895.

  The defeat brought more attention to Spain's needs and more power to the United States.
