Answer:
The 1830s were years of great economic hardship in Europe.
The first half of the nineteenth century saw an enormous increase in population.
In most countries there were more seekers of jobs than employment.
Population from rural areas migrated to the cities to live in overcrowded slum.
Food shortage and widespread unemployment brought the population of Paris out on the roads.
National Assembly proclaimed a republic, granted suffrage to all adult males above 21, and guaranteed the right to work.
Earlier, in 1845, weavers in Silesia had lead a revolt against contractors who supplied them raw material and gave them orders for finished textile.
On 4 June at 2 p.m. a large crowd of weavers emerged from their homes and marched in pairs up to the mansion of their contractors demanding higher wages.
The contractors fled with his family to a neighbouring village which, however, refused to shelter such a person.
He returned 24 hours later having requisitioned the army.
In the exchange that followed, eleven weavers were shot.
