Few disputed – felt Constantine was rightful heir & would be pro-Constitution Easily suppressed, tried, imprisoned/hard labor    heroes of legend (“Decembrists”)
Balkans/Greece Wanted independence from Ottoman Turks Serbia = successful revolt (independence in 1817) Greece = 1820-21 – massacred Turks; Turks retaliated w/ own massacres against Greeks, sold women into slavery
Massacre at Chios Eugène Delacroix (1824) A military attack on the inhabitants of Chios by Ottoman forces commenced on 11 April, 1822 and was prosecuted for several months into the summer of the same year. The campaign resulted in the deaths of 20,000 citizens, and the forced deportation into slavery of almost all the surviving 70,0000 inhabitants

How Marxism Works… Economics = driving force behind history History is a series of class struggles: HAVE NOTS HAVES plebeians patricians serfs lords Proletariat (working class) Bourgeoisie  (middle class)
End of History Marx theorized that history would end with communism Why?
End of History Communism would end the struggles of the past because wealth and power would be equally shared
Weakness & Impact Claimed to be based on “scientific law” Predicted worldwide misery & revolution (was wrong) Not popular in 1848, but would have major impact Influenced many governments & is active today
Interpreting Marx “  The Communists  disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!” Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto
