Explanation:
The 1830s decade ran from January 1, 1830, to December 31, 1839. In this decade, the world saw a rapid rise of imperialism and colonialism, particularly in Asia and Africa.

Conquests took place all over the world, particularly around the expansion of Ottoman Empire and the British Raj. New outposts and settlements flourished in Oceania, as Europeans began to settle over Australia and New Zealand.

state ruled for him, but its members fought among themselves.
As the 1840s progressed, the Austrian government was on the verge of a
breakdown, the bureaucracy was disaffected because of low salaries, andincreasing taxes could not stem the growing deficit. When the disorders of 1848
began, unhappiness in Austria was widespread. The liberals resented
government repression and the peasants and urban masses chafed at the poor
economic conditions.
When the 1848 revolutions broke out therefore, Austria proved unable to
play its customary role of “policeman of Europe”—at least in the beginning—and
this fact allowed the revolutions to spread.....
