In European history, the year of 1848 has become an important year, it was the ultimate year of revolution throughout Europe. From 1845 to 1846, some of European countries suffered serious natural disaster. In 1847 of the economic crisis in Europe. The starvation, unemployment and economic depression exacerbated the European social contradictions and ethnic conflicts. From 1848 to 1849, the revolution broke out in France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Hungary and other European countries. In France itself, the February Revolution was on of a wave of revolutions in 1848 in Europe.
Let’s take a look at Louis Philippe. Louis Phillippe was not a fan favorite of the French middle class, who are called bourgeois. By 1848 only about one percent of the population held the franchise, even though France had a free press and trial by jury, but only landholders were permitted to vote.
The dissatisfaction from the proletariat, the bourgeoisie, the religious and the conservatives resulted in February Revolution of 1848. Overall, the misgoverning and lack of political rulers charm is the cause of the February revolution.
The working classes again put barricades up in the streets, and an unruly Paris mob frightened Louis Philippe into abdicating. The national guard was ordered to restore the order at the protest, but instead of executed commands, they turned to the masses of the revolution. On 23 February, Prime Minister Guizot resigned. Kind Louis Philippe abdicated and fled to UK. and Lamartine was appointed president of the provisional government, which was called the Second Republic.
Though clamming to be liberal, the newly elected President was mostly interested in reestablishing order, he promptly got rid of socialist in the government. He encouraged religious influence in school teaching, and then after becoming confident of his support base, he declared himself Emperor Napoleon III. The revolution in France once again ended with a new dictator.
