    Background
    ● The Revolutions of 1848 were a series of democratic
    revolts against European monarchies that took place
    between 1848-1849
    ● Revolutions of 1848, series of republican revolts
    against European monarchies, beginning in Sicily, and
    spreading to France, Germany, Italy, and the Austrian
    Empire.
    ● After 1848, the European powers seemed incapable of
    united action to maintain the status quo, probably
    because the revolutions of 1848 weakened the regimes
    in the eyes of their people.
    Thesis:

    Europe in the 1840s continued to have many


    revolutions which shaped and influenced the world,
    and also created what we know today at modern
    Europe.
    The French Revolution of 1848
    ● This revolution was the start of the European revolutions of 1848
    ● In France the revolutionary events ended the July Monarchy and led to the creation of the French
    Second Republic.
    The Italian Revolution of 1848
    ● The 1848 Revolutions in the Italian states, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848 in Europe, were
    organized revolts in the states of the Italian peninsula and Sicily, led by intellectuals and agitators who
    desired a liberal government.
    ● As Italian nationalists they sought to eliminate reactionary Austrian control.
    German Lands Revolution of 1848
    ● Also called the March Revolution
    ● They were a series of loosely coordinated protests and rebellions in the states of the German
    Confederation, including the Austrian Empire.
    What did the revolutions achieve?
    ● The revolutions of 1848 failed to achieve their goals
    because of a lack of strong allies and support, weak
    military support of the rulers, and the division among
    the revolutionaries.
    ● After 1848, the European powers seemed incapable of
    united action to maintain the status quo, probably
    because the revolutions of 1848 weakened the regimes
    in the eyes of their people.
    Some effects that are with us today
    1. Capital punishment and slave trade were abolished in France
    2. Socialist movements came into prominence and labour rights
    started to recover in Europe
    3. The revolution of 1848 formed a basis for ensuring political
    union of Germany and Italy
    4. Social law state understanding started to strengthen in
    European countries
    5. Germany and Italy, who lately completed their political
    union, so fall behind of the other countries for colonialism,
    accelerated to economic competition in world and caused to
    blocking of great powers
    6. Republic announced in France and while starting to adopt
    social democracy understanding, equality accepted in the
    field of political rights
