Share In HISTORY OF EUROPE What caused the revolution of 1848? EDIT Answer by Arianblom CONFIDENCE VOTES 4.9K The French revolution of 1848 was one of the most important developments that led to a wave of revolutions in Europe. The February revolution in France ended the Orleans Monarchy and led to the beginning of French Second Republic. Louis napoleon was elected the president of Second republic with peasant support. At the death of Louis XVIII, his brother Charles X ascended the throne. Charles X was an unpopular monarch who ha s high aspirations than his predecessors. In 1830 he issued the Four Ordinances of St Cloud which abolished freedom of press and dissolved the lower house which led to immediate reaction from the public leading to a revolt against the monarchy. As a result, Charles X flee from Paris to England and was forced to abdicate the throne. Louis Philippe succeeded to the throne thereby replacing the charter of 1830. Under Louis, privileged groups were favored. Though France had free press, only the landholders were permitted to vote. Louis was seen from a different angle as a monarch who was not caring the needs of the society, especially the middle class. In 1848 some Orleanist liberals had turned against Louis for his way of Parliamentarism. Alexis de Tocqueville had observed, "We are sleeping together in a volcano . . . A wind of revolution blows, the storm is on the horizon." . This caused the revolution of 1848 to erupt.

Ugh stl confused

OpenStudy (micahmglomski):

I am assuming you transposed numbers, as l'homme du cheval blanc did not actually appear in 1884. All of the factors you mention were present in 1848 (a year of contagious revolution, and a formative year for Karl Marx). In France this produced the Second Republic, which lasted for nearly five years.
