The Second Republic of France was established in 1848, following the February Revolution that ended the July Monarchy. It was characterized by the adoption of universal male suffrage and the establishment of a presidential system, with Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte elected as its first president. The republic faced significant challenges, including social unrest, economic hardship, and political divisions, leading to its eventual collapse in 1852 when Bonaparte declared himself Emperor, marking the beginning of the Second Empire. The Second Republic lasted only a few years but significantly influenced future democratic movements in France and beyond.
