The 1848 revolution in France established the Second French Republic. The people saw in Louis Napoleon, later called Napoleon III, as a leader to correct the wrongs of the previous regime. This wasn't to be however, as this Napoleon fooled the people. He pretended to govern a democratic government but instead he used the secret police to suppress popular opinion.
Early on he gained support by legalizing trade unions and giving them a limited power of voting. He allowed the right to strike as well.
He provided programs for public works and got the middle classes involved in the economy with new banking and finance regulations.
When at last the people saw that he had "stolen" the 1848 revolution, he made the error of becoming involved in a war with Prussia. He actually was captured by the Prussians. This was basically the end of the 1848 revolution and the 2nd French Republic.
