The Revolutions of 1848 was a series of political uprisings throughout Europe. They began in Sicily, moved on to France, Germany, back to Italy and the Austrian Empire. The entire series of revolutions ended in failure.

In 1848 there were revolutions or attempted revolutions in many European countries, and in particular in: * France * The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies * Many other Italian states * Prussia and many of the German states * Austria, the Czech Lands, Croatia * Hungary

Most of the Revolutions of 1848 were not well organized enough to have a lasting impact. The participants did not have enough of a common goal.

Most of the uprisings outside of France failed. The rulers used military force, and some of the revolutionaries didn't' have mass support.
