The term, "blood and iron" was ment to represent war. Bismarck was described as a man who was striving for military power. Bishmarck made an alliance with Austria to fight Denmark and won. Bishmarck's straight attack approach is different from the liberals approach. Liberals are more political, Bishmarck fights for what he wants.

Peninsulares- Men who were at the top of the Spainish Amerian society, they were born in Spain. Only people to hold high office in Spanish colonial government.
Creoles- Spaniards born in Latin America that were ranked after the peninsulares. They could rise as officers in Spanish Colonial armies.
Mulattos- Mixed of Europeans and African ancestry, they were ranked after the Mestizos.
Simon Bolivar- A wealthy Venezuelan creole, was called Liberator, he was a politican and assertive.
Jose de San Martin- He was a simple and modest man. San Martin was born in Argentina and believed in strict military dicipline but showed support for his troops.
Miguel Hidalgo- Hidalgo was a preist whom was poor but well- educated. He had a firm belief in the ideas of the Enlightenment, he tried to lead the Indian and Meztio followers to rebel against the upperclass but failed.
Jose Maria Morelos- Morelos lead the revolution Hidalgo started for four years before he was defeated by Agustin de Iturbide.
2) "Through its policies, Spain gave up its right to rule in South America." I dont agree with this statement, ideas from the Enlightenment, French and American revolution encouraged the lower social class to rise. The lower social class outnumbered the higher classes which helped Spain give up their political power by war. Independence movements arose because Latin American countries wanted independence and natural rights in order to get rid of oppression. In the end Bolivar gained the majority of power that Spain lost.

Countries Napolean conquered: Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany, Prussia, Austria, France.
1.
1) Napolean Bonaparte- lived 1769- 1821, at age 16 he finished school and became a lieutenant in the artillery. When the French Revolution started he joined the army of the reformed government.
2) Coup d'e'tat- a sudden seizure of power. "blow of state"
3) Plebiscite- a vote of the people.
4) Lycee'- government-run public schools.
5) Concordat- an agreement
6) Napoleonic Code- Napolean Bonaparte's system of laws.
7) Battle of Trafalgar- the most important battle Napolean had, and lost. It proved the supremacy of Britain's navy and stopped Napoleans plans of invading Britain.
3. Was Napolean the creator or of the creation of his times?
I think that Napolean was considered a "creator" of his time. After the Revolution, Napolean stabalized France along with its government. Napolean established the Napoleonic Code as laws. The people of France must have felt safe knowing that Napolean was powerful enough to conquer most of the Europe. Napolean made his government fair and honest. Napolean let church influence be recognised by the government.
4. To keep his empire together, Napolean had to deal with forces both inside and outside the French Empire. In your judgement, which area was more crucial to control? Since Napolean had help to keep control of forces ooutside of France, I think that the inside of France was more crucial to control. After all the problems left behind the Revolution in France, it must have been hard to stabalize it. The people couldnt have found the government trustworthy because of the Reign of terror. France needed alot of reform and Napolean had to carefully make these changes.
Napolean came to control the French government by making a reputation in the army. When Napolean escaped from Egypt and returned to France he was recognized as a hero. Napolean returned to find the republican government in bad shape. Napolean outsmarted the counsil to have a 10 year position as Emperor. He thought that before he could reform France he had to make peace with the borders of France.
