Did the Revolutions of 1830 and 1848 achieve its goals?

Answer 1

NO. Generally, the European Revolutions of 1848 were considered failures. Most of the absolute monarchies that were in power before the revolutions were able to re-establish themselves. The only exception was France, but even in France, the absolutist monarchy was replaced with a Bonapartist Military Junta.

Answer 2

The revolts in Europe in the year 1848 were not successful. Here are some important facts about the rebellions in Europe in 1848:

* France. Louis Philippe's rule eventually aroused opposition. Republicans opposed monarchy;

* Liberals deplored the government's policies, press censorship, corruption, and voting restrictions; and

* City workers were impoverished and could not vote.

In 1848 rioting Paris mobs compelled Louis Philippe to flee France. The revolutionists proclaimed the 2nd French Republic and guaranteed universal male voting rights. Louis Napoleon was elected president by a large majority.

The new 2nd French republic under Louis Napoleon had the outward democratic reforms, but in reality, the government was a Dictatorship. Secret police, censorship of the press returned, and elections were "fixed" by the government. In summary, the 1848 Paris revolt was a failure due to the repressive new government of Napoleon III.

In the Austrian Empire, people were impressed with the so-called reforms of the French 2nd republic. The people demanded reforms. The result was a suppression, that was done by the Austrian government with the Russian army helping to end calls for reform.

In Italy and Germany, the military crushed attempts at reforms.

Although mainly unsuccessful, the 1848 revolutions were noteworthy for several reasons:

* Universal male suffrage was established, or better said, gained a foothold in the new French republic;

* Serfdom was abolished in the Austrian empire; and

* Marked the retention of repressive governments despite so-called reforms.
