February revolution of 1848 in france
Answers
Answer:
The 1848 Revolution in France, sometimes known as the February Revolution (révolution de Février), was one of a wave of revolutions in 1848 in Europe. In France the revolutionary events ended the July Monarchy (1830–1848) and led to the creation of the French Second Republic.
Answer:
In 1848 was a year of bad harvest, food shortage and unemployment. The people of Paris come out in the streets demanding food, raising barricades and insisting on the change of government. The three days protest in February unnerved king Louis Philippe. He abdicated the throne and fled to England. A National Assembly was convened once again; it abolished the monarchy and declared France a Republic. Suffrage was granted to all male adults above 21 years; jobs were guaranted and national workshops were set up. Moreover, Paris was already an international centre for the revolutionary exiles.
