sep 20, 1819 - Carlsbad Decrees
Description:
The occasion of the meeting was the desire of the Austrian foreign minister Klemens, Prince von Metternich, to take advantage of the consternation caused by recent revolutionary outrages to persuade the German governments to combine for the suppression of liberal and nationalistic tendencies within their states. He proposed that (1) the Diet of the German Confederation (Bund) should be asked to institute uniform censorship of all periodical publications; (2) the recently formed Burschenschaften (nationalist student clubs) should be disbanded and the faculties of schools and universities be placed under supervisory curators.
