Europe Ablaze: The 1848 Revolutions

“Tell the people I agree to everything “ if that’s not a sobering moment for a king idk what is

No mention of communists and socialists?

I didn’t understand two things. How was serfdom abolished in Austria? Why was the constitution of Austria created by Franz Joseph reacher than an elected assembly like how Emperor Ferdinand said?

radetzki was a legend

Imagine the upcoming revolution with all the arabs and n_ggers now!!

It is so odd you left out the Freemasons were behind much of these movements. The French Revolution set off the chain of events that in which produce the bad fruits we are witnessing today in Europe. Yes - Monarchs were too slow to implement reforms, but the atheistic Marxist revolutions are so evil.

I thought this was amazing. Fantastic job on this. It definitely requires multiple pauses and in some cases replay, but just an amazing timeline of that period of time.

Ustani Bane!
Hrvatska te zove, zove!
Ustani Bane, Jelačiću!

Y en España y Portugal ? No pasaba nada? Eran felices ?😂🤔🤨

Notice most of them still wanted to be part of the empires but more autonomy.

Not a well understood, nor well-taught era in European history, very confusing even to hardcore history buffs. This video, however, is magnificent, wonderfully clear & concise, along with marvelous visuals. Thoroughly enjoyed & most instructive. And I've always loved the Radetzky March, too. Didn't know it came from this period of history, so I learned that as well!

why did you leave out switzerland‘s confederation which dates back to 1848?

They seen our Republic in the USA the European people says we can do that to!

Looks like the conservatives were always on the evil side of history.Nowadays they are kept in power by the intellectually challenged part of the working class.

Karl Marx had a walk-on part here as editor of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne. Earlier in 1848 he had published the Communist Manifesto, which began by speaking of the "Spectre of Communism" that was stalking Europe. After the failure of the revolutions of 1848 he escaped to Paris and then London, to take up residence in the British Museum Library, revolutionise economics and inspire the first two Socialist Internationals.

It took nearly 70 years before his work bore fruit first in the Russian Revolution, then in China and many other countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Paradoxically, the totalitarian autocrats of Russia supported liberation movements all over the world in the 20th century, whereas the all-white democracy of America backed the losing colonialists. We see the results in the alliances of the early 21st century.

A tiny correction: Louis-Philippe was "King of the French," not King of France. Louis XVI had been forced to make that change of title before his execution, but Louis XVIII and Charles X had not retained it. Currently a descendant of his wishes to be King of the French, while another man wants to be King of France. There's also a would-be Emperor of the French.

Fantastic! The 1800s was such a rich and interesting historical time in Europe. It’s interesting to see the ebon flow of the different ideologies in politics leading up to World War I

I didn't like how you only mentioned how many revolutionaries died. As if the soldiers in service of the king/emperor did not matter.

Marx was everything but "working class". He came from a rich family and leeched of his parents money. He was great at prose and a utopic ideologue, more interested in his own accumulation of power rather than the wages of "the working class."

"Students", "workers". Many of these were self declared activists and revolutionnaires, not students and workers.

Conservative governments and moderate governments in France kept winning elections because the leftist Jacobins were so bad and murderous. Every time a government of "order" won, the leftist would deny the election and take up arms.

Now in Europe, what many of the republicans fought for i.e. a free press, no political prisoners, the right to protest, and a free economy are all dying away. European nations have established a bureaucratic kingdom though the EU and have trampled liberties such as free speech, a free press, the right to protest, and are now removing economic rights of political enemies.

These need to be in Victoria 3

Well done.

Brilliantly done.

This is the proof that devil stands behind all of the revolutions. It is just a beautiful idea that has no honest morality behind it. Some people truly believe it and sadly they are the most unfortunate people in the world, one of the most unfortunate. I hope people search for the truth and they will find it.

Republicamism does disturb the peace lol 😂

We should all learn from our past

White people fight for equality at home while abroad at the same time oppressing and enslaving the rest of the world. This is the reason no one cares about them now their g8 is drowning in debt and poverty.

Thanks Jews

The 1848 revolutions terrified our monarch into supporting substantial changes to the constitution, moving the monarchy into a mostly ceremonial role. There are also some rumours his sexual preferences were also used to coerce him from being a staunch conservative into becoming a liberal over night.

RADETZKY!!!! Still going old boy!

That “Get rich” quote was elitist and out of date 170 years ago.

Yet there are still elitists saying that now. And morons who think it’s clever.

Whatever happened to the liberals of Europe? I can barely tell them apart from the other groups these days.

Really nice work

The grass roots bourgeois mobilization is fascinating. A precursor to WW2 Nazi movement.

Many Serbs fought with Jelacic. A national disgrace in my opinion. They were short sighted peasants from the Cordon. My ancestor was involved. Sorry Hungary, you dirty rapacious dogs!

Capitalist started the Gulags, Algeria, Devil's Island etc....Viola!

I love your channel! Thanks for these brilliant videos

How can you discuss the 1848 revolutions without mentioning Karl Marx?

Did the slave revolt/revolution of Haiti inspire the French revolution at the turn of the 17th century?

Europe, a perfect reflection of Mankind, always at war with itself...

What's the music in the beginning called?

Could you please make a video on 1968 in the United States? It would be great

Do French revolution 😊

Is the photo of Paris from "La commune de Paris" instead, in 1870 ?
