1The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) met after the defeat of Napoleon. What was its principal aim?
A.To restore stability in Europe through the balance of power and the restoration of legitimate monarchies
B.To divide Europe into nation-states drawn strictly along linguistic lines
C.To create a European parliament of elected representatives
D.To dissolve France as a state and share its territory among the victors
Explanation: Under Metternich's leadership, the Congress of Vienna sought lasting peace by restoring 'legitimate' dynasties and arranging a balance of power so no single state could again dominate Europe. France was treated leniently precisely to keep the balance intact.
2In which year did the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman rule begin?
A.1776
B.1821
C.1864
D.1912
Explanation: The Greek Revolution broke out in 1821, with uprisings in the Danubian Principalities and the Peloponnese. It led, after great-power intervention, to the creation of an independent Greek kingdom recognised in 1830.
3What happened at the Battle of Navarino in 1827?
A.The Ottoman fleet destroyed the combined fleets of the European powers
B.The Greek revolutionary army captured Constantinople from the Ottomans
C.The combined British, French and Russian fleets destroyed the Ottoman-Egyptian fleet
D.Russia alone defeated the British fleet in the Black Sea
Explanation: At Navarino (October 1827) the allied British, French and Russian squadrons annihilated the Ottoman-Egyptian fleet. The battle was decisive for Greek independence because it removed Ottoman naval power from the conflict.
4Who served as the first Governor (head of state) of independent Greece from 1828 until his assassination in 1831?
A.Alexandros Ypsilantis
B.Theodoros Kolokotronis
C.King Otto of Bavaria
D.Ioannis Kapodistrias
Explanation: Ioannis Kapodistrias, a Corfiot diplomat and former Russian foreign minister, became the first Governor of Greece in 1828. His centralising policies made enemies, and he was assassinated in Nafplio in 1831.
5In which country did the Industrial Revolution begin in the late eighteenth century?
A.Britain
B.France
C.Germany
D.Russia
Explanation: Industrialisation began in Britain, starting with the mechanisation of the cotton textile industry. Britain's coal and iron resources, capital, colonial markets and relative political stability gave it a head start over the continent.
6Which inventor is chiefly associated with the improvements that made the steam engine a practical power source for industry?
A.George Stephenson
B.James Watt
C.Samuel Morse
D.Thomas Edison
Explanation: James Watt's improvements to the Newcomen engine in the 1760s-1770s, above all the separate condenser, made steam power efficient enough to drive factories, pumps and later locomotives. Steam became the emblematic energy source of the first industrial age.
7Which statement best explains why the revolutions of 1848, the 'Springtime of Nations', matter even though most of them were defeated?
A.They immediately created the unified states of Germany and Italy
B.They restored absolute monarchy everywhere in Europe for half a century
C.They spread liberal and national ideas widely and forced lasting concessions such as the abolition of serfdom in the Habsburg lands
D.They had no consequences and were forgotten within a few years
Explanation: Although the 1848 revolutions were mostly crushed, they normalised demands for constitutions, civil rights and national self-determination. In the Austrian Empire serfdom was permanently abolished, and later unification movements built on the national programmes of 1848.
8What was Giuseppe Garibaldi's 'Expedition of the Thousand' (1860)?
A.A diplomatic mission to persuade Austria to leave Italy peacefully
B.A Papal army campaign to defend Rome against unification
C.A British naval expedition to protect the Kingdom of Naples
D.A volunteer campaign that conquered Sicily and Naples and handed them to Victor Emmanuel II
Explanation: In 1860 Garibaldi led about a thousand red-shirted volunteers to Sicily, then crossed to the mainland and overthrew Bourbon rule in Naples. He then ceded the conquered south to King Victor Emmanuel II of Piedmont-Sardinia, enabling the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
9Otto von Bismarck declared that the great questions of the day would be settled not by speeches and majority votes but by 'blood and iron'. What did he mean?
A.German unification would be achieved through war and industrial-military power rather than liberal parliaments
B.Germany should abandon its army and rely on economic growth
C.Workers should seize the factories in a socialist revolution
D.The great powers should settle disputes only through international congresses
Explanation: Speaking as Prussian minister-president in 1862, Bismarck meant that unification would come through Prussian military strength and state power ('Realpolitik'), not through the liberal Frankfurt-style assemblies that had failed in 1848. Three victorious wars (1864, 1866, 1870-71) proved his point.
10Which is the correct chronological order of the three wars through which Bismarck achieved German unification?
A.War against Austria (1866), war against Denmark (1864), war against France (1870-71)
B.War against Denmark (1864), war against Austria (1866), war against France (1870-71)
C.War against France (1870-71), war against Denmark (1864), war against Austria (1866)
D.War against Russia (1863), war against Austria (1866), war against France (1870-71)
Explanation: Bismarck's sequence ran: the Danish war over Schleswig-Holstein (1864), the Austro-Prussian war decided at Königgrätz (1866), and the Franco-Prussian war (1870-71). Each victory removed an obstacle: first a condominium with Austria, then Austrian influence in Germany, then French opposition.
