The Revolutions of 1830 were brutal, as shown in Belgium during their revolution. The revolution was mainly to obtain independence from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. The revolution was targeted towards the leader, at the time, William I. This was partially a social rebellion because of the lower class faring less well. On top of this, the harvest of that year failed. After an opera in August, known as "La Muette de Portici", riots began to take place in Brussels that were not of the bourgeoisie. This only created more of an unrest throughout Belgium, and began a revolution.
Although rebelling, a group of proletariat volunteers formed a committee to oversee the actions of the riots. On October 4th, 1830, independence was finally declared

A nationalist uprising was destroyed. Furthermore, efforts for Poland to become independent were expelled. This is because they revolted against Russia. Not too much changed, particularly because the acts were destroyed. Although, that didn't stop them for long.
France upheld a strong revolution as well. The revolutions began here, due to four ordinances issued by Charles X in July. These ordinances suspended power from many things such as freedom of press, the chamber of deputies, and more. This also restricted three-fourths of the electorate from voting. While three-fourths were restricted, the other one-fourth were supposed to vote in an election that September. This was soon followed by an uproar.
With the ordinances, rioting ensued as well as protests. As any other country, armed forces were issued, yet unable to stop the citizens. Furthermore, King Charles fled the country for England. The citizens eventually established Louis-Philippe as their king because he had fought for the French Republic once before. The chamber of peers evolved into a nominated house, and thee partnership between France and the Roman Catholic Church was terminated. Not only this, yet the Bourbons flag was replaced by what we see as the French flag

Nationalism was forced into thought by foreign rule and hopes of unification. Soon, there Sicilians (my ancestors, have to love them) revolted, and many saw this as their chance to make Italy into one united country. Revolutions rose in many locations, including Milan. Citizens also expelled unrest at the idea of foreign rule, which they were under. This only added another log to the fire.
The effects of the Italian Revolution were also strong. A great hostility formed towards the Austrians in Italy due to many uprisings. Street riots began in Milan, of all places. Inside of Milan, many also gathered in a square (approximately 10,000) and expressed their opinions on the matters in hand. They were liberal, wishing for unity. Many Italian crops and harvests failed in 1848, along with many other areas of revolution.
The Crimean War had many causes, and several effects. This war was caused by things such as growth of Russian power in the Eastern European region and the crumbling power of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empires' shattering day by day created unrest in the Middle East and Balkans as well. Not only this, yet Russia and France claimed rights to defend Christians among the Holy Land, also known as Jerusalem. Russia continued to threaten to conquer the Black Sea in order to get trade routes to the Mediterranean Sea. All of the actions performed by these countries in this time period led to
This oppression of the Third Estate along with the financial problems that fell on the common people would lead to the French Revolution. Overall, the people of France revolted against the monarchy because of the unsuccessful estate system and the inequality it led to, because of the new enlightenment ideas that inspired them, and because of the failures of the monarchy.
Italy achieved her unification in 1870. She had a constitutional monarchy like that of Great Britain, but democratic society failed to develop in Italy because the government was controlled by corrupt politicians, called the party bosses. They controlled the elections by bribing the voters. Once they were in power, they were more interested in achieving personal gains for themselves than in solving the social and economic problems of the people. As a result of this political corruption, Italy remained a poor country. Industrial progress was slow. Italy was poor in natural resources and lack of fertile land. Many of the farm laborers were landless and were often unemployed, so millions of Italians were forced to emigrate.
The Extent to Which the Lack of Popular Support was the Main Reason for the Weakness of Italian Nationalism in the Period 1815-1848
France wasn’t an exception, just like many other countries it changed its form of government in order to make the nation stronger and thus became more democratic. There are many reasons why the French Revolution have played a big role in the political change of France during the 1800’s. Firstly, the monarchy was abolished after the fall of the monarchy and the execution of Louis XVI has set the ground of the new more modern government. Secondly, the people started to change their positions in the government the nobility was liquidated and everybody was fighting for the power and rights. Finally, with the fall of the old dictatorial government, the people of France finally gained their human rights with the protection of the new modern
One of the main results of the revolution was the ancient regime was abolished. This started to make France’s people more equal. A document was created that outlined France’s peoples rights, it was called the declaration of the rights of man and the citizen. People were to be born with equal rights (doc 4). Many of the “rights” given in this document were not truly given to the people of France. There was supposed to be freedom of speech, (doc 6) but the papers were monitored and people could not support certain things without fear of imprisonment. People were arrested for having different views from those in power (doc 5).This did not create complete equality in France but it was a start. Also, a republic was set up in France for a very brief time. The republic was in place after the death of Louis XVI, and then after Napoleon was removed from power. The French revolution not only had affects on people in France, but also in many of the surrounding countries. The French revolution had many impacts on the countries outside of France. When Napoleon came to power in 1799 he started a conquest. He was able to conquer much of Italy and germany among the many other countries he was able to take control of. When he took power somewhere he imposed his own political code. Even after the countries were freed from France, some did not immediately get rid of his laws. Some cities like Naples kept is for a while (doc 7). This was just one of the several ways in which the French revolution affected surrounding
The beginning of the French Revolution had many causes that began with the frustrations of the bourgeoisie. The irritation was a result from being treated very poorly by King Louis XVI and his Queen, Marie Antoinette. The bourgeoisie carried a huge weight on their shoulders because they were demanded to pay the most taxes. However they were the largest population that made up France. A variety of reasons contributed to the rebellion of the third estate, they understood their human rights and were not going to tolerate this absurd behavior from the monarchy any longer.
Some causes are financial crisis and high taxes, the stamp act, the war with the French, tarantella rule, and the navigation act. Symptoms are angry protesters. In the national assembly each estat got 1 vote and each member received a note. The Tennis Court Oath swore to create a new constitution and Oath taken at the tennis courts to make a better government for French. Storming of the Bastille, King Louis use military force to break up the National Assembly, by the people. The guards were hacked to death and heads out on display. This became the ultimate symbol that the revolution had ...
Before the revolution formally began, France was being ruled by the monarch Napoleon Bonaparte. All people under him, particularly the third party members also known as the working class, were oppressed in a sense that they were powerless against the laws that wronged them while bestowing the monarchy more power. The ruler of a country or empire should have one goal: to ensure that the people of the country are taken care of. As Napoleon was not adhering to this basic moral law of power the people grew upset about the little they could do to help themselves, and decided the best course of action would be to overthrow the government. Once the monarchy was overtaken the bourgeoisie temporarily assumed power which worked for a short time. Soon however, multiple rebel groups rose to power, subjecting all those not associated with them to the two year Reign of Terror. During this time, many civilians and previous government officials were executed. The consequence of the rebellion yielded predictable results. Like before, the people outside the direct government suffered as they could do nothing to prevent wrongdoing from befalling them. Both during Napoleon’s rule and the rule of the rebels, powerlessness influenced an ascent to despotism that left the people of the country
The French Revolution began in the year of 1789 and ended in the year of 1799. The war occurred in the French territory including Paris. Politics and enlightenment led to a Civil war in France. People started to rebel against the ideas of absolute monarchy, the systems of government, and the leadership. The people of France wanted freedom and equality. The social structure and economy were big factors in why the revolution started. The social structure went by the Estate System which was thought to be highly unfair by the lower class. The Estate System went by how rich you were, meaning, the first was the richest which were the king and queen, second was the nobles and the third were the peasants.The economy was bad, and people were poor. Napoleon Bonaparte, King Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Jacques-Pierre Brissot were the most important people involved in this revolution. People debate about the effects of the French Revolution, but I for one, do not think that it was very revolutionary because of Napoleon’s actions, unnecessary deaths, and social structure. “The Red Necklace” by Sally Gardner, discusses the main points of the revolution.
The French Revolution started in 1787 because the country was going through financial difficulties and there was unrest between the classes of citizens in the country. The differences between the lower class citizens and higher classes, being nobles and the monarchy were great. The citizens had heard of the revolution that went on in the colonies and they also wanted freedom and independence. The real start of the French Revolution was on July 14, 1789, with the storming of the Bastille. Between 1789 1793, a constitution was written, feudalism was abolished, war had broken out, and King Louis XVI was put to death. In late 1793 and early 1794, Maximilien Robespierre became the head of the Committee of Public Safety in France. This was the new governing body in France; it could be compared to the executive branch of a government. Robespierre was a great leader, he ins...
Revolutions are effected by the morals of the country. Depending on where the country stands morally, what they considered to be right and wrong, will affect how a revolution will processed. The morals of the leaders will effect a revolution. Where these leaders stand on their morals will affect the direction that the people wish to go. People by nature go with the flow, and if their leader is going in one direction, wither good or bad, that is the directions the people will go. Maximilion de Robespierre was the leader of the French Revolution. He said, “The Revolution is the war of liberty against its enemies.” The liberty that Robespierre was picturing was one of his own making with bloodshed, and violence against the French people. His revolution ended up killing the King and Queen of France, King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette his queen, by beheading them. Robe...
The key issues over which the Italian Wars were fought were primarily financial incentives for Charles VIII of France. He declared that he intended to use Naples as a base to drive the Ottomans out of Europe and liberate Constantinople. In actual truth his main motivation was self-glory and the mouth-watering prospect of acquiring some exquisite prizes of war. On the way he would acquire rich cities and portable pieces of art. It seems that this invasion had been planned for two years prior since Charles had already bought off potential rivals like Henry VII of England, Ferdinand and Macsimilion. He had also enlisted the support of Genoa and Milan, both within Italy. The regent of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, needed allies and his invitation in 1594 seemed to Charles’ plans perfectly. He accepted and the Italian wars began. Also, the Cardinal of Genoa resented the current Pope, Alexander VI. He invited Charles to come in, depose him and spark off the eagerly awaited church reform.
Despite intense feelings of nationalism, when Italy’s opportunity came to unify in early 1848 the leaders and the people became hopelessly divided.
Throughout history, revolutions have started because of new ideas that change thinking and disrupt what has come to be considered normal. During 1700s, the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions were no exception. The Enlightenment ideas that were spreading around this time lead people of these three nations to question their ruling elites, and to begin considering breaking free. Of these three, though, no one revolt can be seen as more radical when compared to the other two. Each was faced with the challenging task of successfully separating from the oppression that had been brought upon them by to powerful empires and monarchies who had lost sight of what the American, French, and Haitian people alike considered important, as well as being some of the first revolts to use radical Enlightenment ideas to justify each of their rebellions. They considered these rebellions their one shot at being able to break free.
There are several factors that led to the Revolution. King Louis XV and King Louis XVI both led extremely extravagant lives. They spent a lot of the government's money on luxuries even while the government had some financial problems. One of the government's main jobs back then was to protect their country from, and manage wars. In the Seven Years War against England, France spent large sums of money on the war effort but they still lost the war and had to give up their colonies in North America. Many French citizens regarded this loss as a major humiliation.
