The essential question that we received in class was, what were the major political ideologies of the 19th century and how did they influence social and political action? The three ideologies that we learned about were nationalism, conservative and liberal. Each group was assigned one of the ideologies and an article about the topic. After we were done reading and taking notes on the ideology we made a short skits about our topic and shared it to the class using the TVs. Each group had to present their ideology so the class could take notes on all three.
Imagine combing two countries just because they spoke the same language and had the same customs, this idea was called nationalism. Our group's presentation did a great job of explaining what believing in nationalism meant and what countries believed in it. A German writer named Johann Gottlieb wrote a article in 1808 urging the people of Germany to, "fulfill their historical in bringing about the ultimate progress of humanity". This article led to nationalist in both Germany and Italy wanting to unite the two countries and to get rid of foreign rulers like Napoleon.

The second ideology we learned about was conservatism. To be a conservative you have to believe that traditions are the best way to keep order and that change and revolutions are bad. A great example of a conservative is someone who argues against the French revolution. The person would argue that the revolution and the push for change only brought chaos and death to people. A conservative also supported the Monarchy and the Church. Most of the supporters of conservatism came from Europe. The last ideology that we learned about in class was liberalism. If you believed in liberalism, you believe that everyone has liberty, god given rights, innovation. Two of the main supporters of liberalism were the British philosophers John Locke and Adam Smith. John Locke's idea of liberalism was everyone had god given rights and had to right to promote their own liberty. Adam Smith's idea of liberalism was called the "invisible hand", the idea of the invisible hand was to create laws that guided people. Both of these ideas were promoted in Britain but I doubt they were used.
