stage?
•LOUIS XVI–Tries to flee France
•Radicals–Not far enough! Desire a republic!
•Nobility•Revolution went too far
•Emigrate; desire foreign help to plot against revolution
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last
gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the
perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly
streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Arise children of the fatherlandThe day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny'sBloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fieldsThe howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midstTo cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens Form your battalionsMarch, march
Let impure bloodWater our furrows
Response to Revolution (cont’d)•Nobility urges
Prussia & Austria to defend France

Do Now: Identify the meaning of each
cartoon and the reason why it was created.
“The Drinking King”
1.
“the great Globe itself, and all which inherit it, is too small to satisfy such insatiable appetites”3.

•Should France be punished severely/spared?
•Divided into several states? Who should rule?
•Who should rule the countries conquered?
• How can we prevent another Napoleon from ruling?
Congress of Vienna ~ Goals
