The 1848 revolution in Rome was primarily driven by widespread discontent with the Papal States' conservative rule and the desire for political reform and national unification in Italy. Inspired by revolutionary movements across Europe, Roman citizens sought greater civil liberties, a constitutional government, and the end of foreign influence. The movement gained momentum when Pope Pius IX initially showed some support for reform, but as he later retracted his support, tensions escalated, leading to clashes and the establishment of a short-lived Roman Republic.
