I think nationalism is having love and devotion to your country. I also think it involves some kind of service to your country. I think this is impotent because without devotion to your country there is really no point in livng there. in some way you need to serve your country. Weather it be in the military or in a field of research, or even just helping out citizens in their country.

I think that overall Bismark was a good guy. I mean he may have been a jerk overall, but from what we know in the histroy boks he did a lot of great things. He was called the iron chancellor, but he also didn't do things that wen't nessicary. He didn't mass muder, didn't attack without reason and put his money and power into imporving his country for people. Even when he had some problems with the cathloics and socialists, he understood that other tactics were much more effective then killing. these methods didn's always work but,they did make me feel more secure in his place. He also did a lot of things to benifit the common people, even if his motives were to keep himself in power. For example social benifits like disibility insurence and retirement.

In the 1800s Germany was region of divided states that spoke german. At the time Napoleon also took over a lot of them, claimng them for france. But he also institued a lot of his own laws, for example he forced the austrian king to step down. But he also got rid of all tariffis between the german states, so that they could trade toegther. This promoted the unity of the german people because now they could trade with each other. Bismark also started taking over a lot of the german states, causing them to unify. So basicly Napolen and Bismark promoted and brought german unity to the states.

Yesterday i learned about a lot of different artsists from the time period we are studying. I learned about vitor Hugo, who i didn;t know had so many stories and oaintings. In fact, i didn't even know that he drew at all. I thught he was just a writer. I didn't even know that he wrote the hunchback of notre dame. I also learned aboy charles dickens, who is one of my favorite writers. I didn't know about his past or history so much. So it was very intresting to learn about where he came from and how that inspired his writings. I also learned about beetoven.I knew he was a composer and have heard some of his music. But i didn't know he was actually deaf for his last few symphonies. I think that is really amazing that he continued to write music even though he coulden't hear it. i also learned a lot about JMW Turner, who i didn't know wxisted until we picked him for a powerpoint. It was cool to see his painting style and his view on nature. Especally his paintings of the ocean, which were amazing and beautiful. Overall it was very intresting to learn about some of the famous artists that were around that time, and i found it fascinating to learn about their styles and techniques.

In reaction to the industrial revolution some new art styles devolped fairly quickly. One of the biggest was an art tyle that focused on normal life. Usually paintings done in this style were from unique angles and focused not on one person but the whole scene. More art also devolped depicting the life of the workers. Showing the hardships and their lifestyles. Romantisicum also devolped at this time. Romanticisum is like the over visualization of yourself, not focusing on romantic stories like the title implies. More abstract art also popped up. Artists like van gough and other abstract artists started to piant the world with bright unblended colors that the eye would blend natrually.
