Hello there! Now that you know all about the three
goals that Metternich had at the Congress of Vienna, we are going to play a
game!
I will tell you a problem in Europe under
Napoleon, and you can tell me how Metternich
helped solve the problem!
Let’s get started kids!
I, Napoleon, brought a problem
to Europe.I overthrew all the kings, and placed
my own family members on the
throne!
The original monarchs are put back in office!
I also made another mistake. I was very
power-hungry and my fellow French citizens had strong feelings of
Nationalism. Many surrounding countries saw this as a threat!
Made countries around France that were once weaker…. Stronger!
Another problem of mine was that
France was looked at as a threat to other countries. They were always afraid I would go
and conquer them, and when I did, I
had ALL the power!
No country in Europe could easily overpower another!
Thank you for playing! I hope
you had a FANTASTIC time!
