Who were the opponents of the French Revolution of 1848?

Answer 1

Many different groups of people opposed the French Revolution, both inside and outside of France. Within France, the most prominent opponents of the Revolution were certain of the nobility, like the King's brother, the Comte d'Artois. Many other nobles actively supported and participated in the Revolution, however, like the Marquis de Lafayette or the Duc d'Orleans.

Many members of the nobility fled France in fear of their lives. These people were known as emigres, and usually lobbied the governments of the countries they fled to take military action against France to stop the revolution and restore the power of Louis XVI.

King Louis XVI himself took a mixed attitude towards the revolution. He genuinely wanted to reflect the will of his subjects, but he was very wary of any proposal that would reduce the King's authority or power because he viewed Kingship as a sacred duty and necessary to the stability of France.

Most countries in Europe ended up at war with France after the French executed Louis XVI in 1793. There were also counter-revolutions within France by peasants and other people who lived outside of Paris. The most famous of these was the massive revolt in the Vendee region. The people of the Vendee were particularly outraged by the anti-religious and anti-Catholic Church policies of many of the revolution's figures.

As the Revolution became more and more radical, and more and more violent, some people who had initially supported it became opponents. These include many Americans, as well as the famous British-Irish politician Edmund Burke, who wrote a scathing polemic against the Revolution after having been initially favourable.

After Robespierre and the Reign of Terror, which ended in 1794, a period began known as the Thermidorian Reaction, where the government turned against its earlier radicalism. This was because many leaders of the Revolution believed it had gone "too far".
