Study Notes
1830 Revolutions
- The second half of the 1830s saw revolutions in France, Belgium, parts of Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Poland.
- A civil war occurred in Portugal and Spain, lasting until 1840 in Spain.
Differences from 1820s Uprisings
- The 1830s revolutions differed from the 1820s uprisings, which were nationalist movements led by military groups.
- The 1830s revolutions aimed for closer government-society relations.
1830 Revolutions: Key Events
- France: The July Revolution. Liberal opposition to Charles X's ultra-conservative government led to protests, street fighting, and Charles X's abdication, followed by Louis-Philippe's ascension to the throne.
- Belgium: Belgian independence. Catholics, French, and Flemish people in Belgium opposed Dutch rule, leading to a revolution and the formation of an independent Belgian state. The July Revolution in France had a major impact, inspiring Belgian nationalists and liberals.
- Central Europe: Liberal groups in Switzerland, influenced by events in France, Belgium, and Greece, pushed for liberal constitutions. Students, journalists, and wealthy industrialists backed these movements. Germany's Confederation faced liberal opposition in Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg. Austria and Prussia suppressed these revolutionary ideas.
- Italy: Liberals formed secret societies, contacted French and Belgian liberals, and developed the "Young Europe" movement. The Risorgimento national regeneration movement aroused Italian identity, reducing foreign dominance, and forming a unified Italy.
- Poland: A secret society led the 1830 revolution in Poland, resulting in a provisional government attempting to negotiate reforms with the Tsar. The rebels split when the Tsar refused significant reforms, and the revolution concluded with a Russian military response.
- Britain: Parliamentary Reform Act (1832). The British Parliament underwent needed reform, broadening the electorate's demographics. However, the House of Lords resisted and powerful country gentry and industrial cities had their political power increased.
1848 Revolutions
- The 1848 revolutions were a series of republican revolts against European monarchies, beginning in Sicily and spreading to France, Germany, Italy, and the Austrian Empire.
- All the 1848 revolutions ended in failure, followed by repression and disillusionment with liberal causes.
Causes of 1848 Revolutions
- Economic crisis, including fluctuations in cotton prices, company failures, bank difficulties, crop failures (1845 and 1846 in Britain and 1847 in France and Germany), financial difficulties associated with imported food, and social distress.
- Political causes like social unrest caused by uncontrolled exploitation of cheap labour. Growing discontent amongst various political forces and groups in Europe. Governments not closely coordinating themselves and their societies. The need for broader liberal reforms and socialist policies.
- Demand for reforms. People wanted shorter working hours, checking the labor of women and children in mines, democratic reorganizations of the electorate, social welfare policies to aid the poor, public health reforms (precautions, and adequate medical service).
Revolutionary Ideas in Central Europe
- Revolutionary ideas spread to central Europe, heavily influenced by the events in Greece, France, and Belgium.
- Liberal groups, students, journalists, and wealthy industrialists pushed for liberal constitutions.
Impact of 1848 Revolutions
- The revolts were largely unsuccessful. The forces of conservatism regained power.
- Some reforms materialized in France alone.
- Revolutions manifested as the end of the Metternich era.
- Some countries still remained within the Eastern Bloc. France, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, and Great Britain saw the expansion of liberalism.
- Governments' failed attempts to coordinate themselves with the needs of their societies.
1848 Revolutions and Economic Factors
- The 1845-1846 and 1847 harvests were poor in Europe, and the consequences included economic hardship, social distress, and an increase in food prices. This greatly affected political landscapes around Europe.
Post 1833 Developments
- The era following 1833 was one of significant, rapid expansion in industry and trade, further influencing many societies. The expansion was tied to the political and constitutional adjustments to those changes.
Continental Europe and the Railroad
- Belgium led the way in European railroad development. Railway building was planned to link different countries, establishing Belgium as a powerful commercial center in western Europe.
Trade
- Britain dominated overseas shipping and trade in the mid-19th century.
- The severe 1845 harvests and the ensuing potato famine in Ireland led to great economic instability and changes in food importation policies.
- Protections for domestic food markets emerged, with Europeans concerned about British competition.
Ottoman Empire and Trade Agreements
- The 1838 Treaty of Balta Liman opened up the Ottoman market for British trade. This resulted in the abolition of monopolies in the Ottoman Empire and equal taxation for all traders to local merchants. Other European states demanded similar treaty rights.
Political and Social Reforms
- The 1848 revolutions demanded changes from the governments, covering social welfare policies, wages to the poor, public health, water supply, fire precautions, and adequate medical service.
Communist Manifesto
- Marx and Engels' 1848 Communist Manifesto became a significant program for European socialist and communist movements in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Manifesto highlighted the plight of the proletariat against European powers, and the manifesto ended with a call to unite against them.
