April 5

We wrote a current events quiz at the beginning of class today. Over the Easter long weekend, I strongly suggest that you keep up with the news. We finished off our look at the Congress of Vienna today. You will be tested on the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Age and the Congress of Vienna on Tuesday, April 10th. Please see the study guide below for the Unit 5 Test Study Guide. It is recommended that you check out the IB 20 wiki, Unit 5 section, as there have been some PowerPoints added and links to other notes that might help you prepare for Tuesday's test.
2. Other study tips:

  • know the causes of the French Revolution (short term, long term, economic, political, social, intellectual)
  • know the structure of French society during the Old Regime
  • know Napoleon's domestic policy
  • know Napoleon's foreign policy (Continental System in particular)
  • know key battles in the Napoleonic Wars (results of the Battle of Trafalgar, Russian campaign, the Battle of Leipzig, and the Battle of Waterloo)
  • know chronology of key events in the French Revolution
  • know the chronology of key events in the Napoleonic Age
  • know the key players at the Congress of Vienna (country and representatives)
  • what were the major decisions of the Congress? what were the guiding principles at the Congress of Vienna
  • know the 19th century political spectrum (please see the graphic below; values and characteristics of the various positions on the spectrum; what groups are represented on the various positions on the spectrum?; what phases/accomplishments of the French Revolution are represented on the spectrum?)

Most of today's class was spent writing your Cold War Exam. When you handed in your exam you were to pick up a copy of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement Research Assignment. This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 11th.
