1) The correct answer is option A. The five powers directing the "Concert of Europe" believed they had a common interest in suppressing revolutionary activity across Europe because while differing in their constitutional make-up, all five agreed that radical revolutionary movements could easily endanger the peace of Europe. This can be understood by studying the historical context of the period and the motivations of the powers involved.
To get to this answer, you could analyze the period from 1815-1823, commonly referred to as the era of the "Concert of Europe." During this time, the major European powers, including Austria, Prussia, Russia, Great Britain, and later France, were working together to maintain stability and prevent the eruption of revolutionary movements. By understanding the different political systems and motivations of these powers, it becomes clear that they all shared a common concern about the potential threats posed by revolutionary activities. The option A correctly captures this understanding.
2) The correct answers are options C and D. The Napoleonic occupation of large parts of Europe provoked a number of nationalist reactions, including a brutal guerrilla war against French troops in Spain and the adoption of national colors in response to the French example of the "tricolor" (blue-white-red).
To arrive at these answers, you would need to study the consequences of the Napoleonic occupation of Europe. Napoleon's expansionist policies and the occupation of various countries provoked nationalist sentiments among the occupied populations. Many regions, such as Spain, resisted French rule through guerrilla warfare. Additionally, the adoption of national colors was a common reaction to assert national identity and distinguish themselves from French influence. The other options (A and B) are not related to the nationalist reactions provoked by the Napoleonic occupation.
3) The correct answers are options A and B. Napoleon and other French occupiers behaved in the European territories they controlled during the era of the Revolutionary Wars by enacting far-reaching social reforms and insisting that the occupied territories must supply soldiers for Napoleon's Grand Army.
To determine these answers, you would need to examine the actions and policies of Napoleon and his forces during the Revolutionary Wars. Napoleon implemented significant social reforms in the territories he controlled, such as the abolition of serfdom, the curtailment of trade guilds, and the weakening of the political power of the Catholic Church. Additionally, Napoleon heavily relied on conscription to build his Grand Army, often mandating that the occupied territories provide soldiers for his military campaigns. Option C is incorrect because there is no evidence of a ban on imports from Britain by Napoleon during this period.
