Europe Ablaze: The 1848 Revolutions

๊ณต์œ

  • ๊ฒŒ์‹œ์ผ 2022. 08. 04.
  • This is the story of the 1848 European revolutions, one of the most dramatic and significant moments in the history of the continent. Hungry workers and peasants joined forces with liberals and nationalists, and in a series of tumultuous events, toppled the French monarchy, and forced reforms across Italy, Germany, and the Austrian Empire. But the revolutionaries were divided between middle class liberals seeking limited reforms, and radicals and workers who wanted sweeping change. As they argued over political and economic reform, counter-revolutionary forces recovered their confidence, and gathered their strength for a brutal onslaught against Europe's revolutionaries.

    Great video. I do wish they had mentioned the 'forty-eighters'. A term used to describe the two million Germans who immigrated to the United States after Prussia had crushed the revolution back home. During the American civil war more then 200,000 of those German immigrants had joined the Union army and helped Lincoln secure two elections and victory in the battlefield. The grandchildren of those Germans would go on to fight their German cousins in world war 2, men like Eisenhower and Nimitz, whose lives would not have existed had there been no revolution in 1848.

      @Alex Zero very true. They, along with the millions of Germans and famished Irish, helped turn the tide during the civil war. More so then slavery or secession, the presence of millions of new liberal-minded voters in the North tipped the scale decisively in favor of the Union. I've always viewed the revolution of 1848 as being a direct cause of the civil war.

    What I find interesting, a lot of things that people tried to make happen during revolutions of 1848-1849 happened rather conservatively about 20 years later:
    1) Hungary gains equal status inside Habsburg monarchy in 1867
    2) Italians defeat Austrians and unite the country in 1861 (1870 finished)
    3) Denmark loses schleswig-holstein in 1864
    4) Germany is united in 1871
    5) France becomes a democratic republic after defeat in the war in 1871

    The 1848 revolution had a huge impact in the United States. After the failure of the 1848 revolution, many Germans immigrated to the US and settled in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Most of the Midwest states were built my German immigrants. If the revolution hadnโ€™t failed, the immigrants would of most likely not immigrated to the US.

It helps show the context of the revolutions instead of causing them to seem isolated. Also, I am glad you showed the nameplate for every important figure whenever you mentioned them instead of only showing it the first time. This repetition of names really helps remember and differentiate between which figure was in which region, etc. I'll be showing your videos to my classes!

    An awesome video! However, I think it could be a series, going more in-depth and starting with 1830 (and the revolutions/uprisings in France, Belgium and Poland). I'm glad that you at least mentioned the November Uprising at 1:31.
    You presented the Polish aspect of the revolutions of 1848 quite well. I'd like to add that Polish volunteers (many veterans of the November Uprising) joined practically all the other revolutions across Europe. They were particularly numerous in Hungary, including three generals. One of them - Jรณzef Bem, distinguished himself in particular.
    Meanwhile Ludwik Mierosล‚awski, after leading the unsuccessful Greater Poland Uprising (that's the one briefly mentioned by the Germanized name of the region's capital Poznaล„ at 14:32), fought in Palermo and then in Baden and the Palatinate.

      What was the Greater Poland uprising all about? I mean, what did they achieve before they were defeated by the Prussians?

    • Artur M.
      Artur M. ๋…„ ์ „ +2

      @Rennor Well, in short, it was about fighting for independence (admittedly, not a realistic goal), or at least for greater autonomy of their region - with increased liberties; national and civic alike, which didn't seem that far-fetched, given the revolution raging all around. At the very least, the insurgents wanted all of the rights Poles were supposed to have, according to the Congres of Viena, fully respected. But in the end, it had the opposite effect; the Grand Duchy of Posen/Poznaล„ (German: GroรŸherzogtum Posen; Polish: Wielkie Ksiฤ™stwo Poznaล„skie) lost all of its autonomy and became a regular Prussian province. Later, harsh policies of Germanisation followed.
      BTW in 1846 there already was a failed attempt at starting an uprising in Greater Poland, also led by Mierosล‚awski, which sometimes is counted as one of the Greater Poland uprisings, making it 4 in total. The ones in 1807 and 1918 were actually successful, so that's a 50% rate, far better than uprisings in other partitions. ๐Ÿ˜‰
      Fun fact: two American Civil War colonels (eventually brigadier generals) of the Union army: Wล‚odzimierz Krzyลผanowski and Jรณzef Kargรฉ were Polish veterans of the uprisings in Greater Poland in the 1840s (Krzyลผanowski took part in that flopped one in '46, although some sources mistakenly claim he fought in '48).

    I do find it interesting that the countries where the monarchs refused to negotiate with the reformers and accept a constitution and some limits on their authority all eventually lost their thrones (and their lives in the case of Russia) as a result of violent revolution and war. Every monarch that accepted the reformers demands for constitution and limits to the monarch are still in power even if they are just figureheads. I.E England, Holland. Denmark are all constitutional monarchs that are mostly figureheads and all the power lies with the Parliament.

    • martinmorles1

      Exactly and because those monarchs held a high position in their country's politics they gradually lost credibility with the people when their countries continued to face poverty and got involved in long drawn out wars that they ended up loosing.

    It's a shame how after all that buildup the revolutions of 1848 did not live up to people's expectations , Bicksmark is right , many times speeches and small scale uprisings are not enough to garentee that reforms will come and more gruesome methods are needed as a lot of later reforms came as a result of war.

    I would just make a note: In minute 31:32 when there's the map with the unification dates of Germany and Italy, both have the 1871 year. In reality Italy unified ten years earlier, 1861. Thanks for this video.

So I was talking about censorship, no free press etc. Then doctor said: "Ok, that's all correct, you have no free press etc., but imagine you had a good job and a decent life. Would you like to revolt?". I replied: "No". Then doctor said: "Exactly" and elaborated more about economic reasons. Thanks Epic History TV for in depth view of the events!

    Ah Strauss, what a magnificent choice of music! I prefer his sonโ€™s work (but he doesnโ€™t go any bottom than his son). 1848 also saw the abolition of Austria as the sole major political entity in its empire but also the elevation of Hungary as a kingdom within Austria as well as Bohemia. To the point where emperor Franz Joseph was crown king of Hungary and of Bohemia following the events of 1848. It also set the ticking time bomb for its destruction as a multi ethnic empire couldnโ€™t survive and the effects of it still linger on in the Balkans till this day. I would say that the revolution of 1848 could have been easily stopped had the reactionary forces really had taken into heart the alliance made at the congress of Vienna. especially in Germany where I think there was more support for their kings and states as only the intelectual class weโ€™re rebelling. The working class only joined them because they were not being fed and paid better not because they felt that they couldnโ€™t express their political ideals. So it was the joining of the working class with the intellectuals that made the revolutions even possible and once the working class stopped supporting the intellectuals, the revolution ended as the working class May have been more inclined to support their king Ana state over the intelectuals

    • Jack Walters
      Jack Walters ๋…„ ์ „

      Ethnic tensions in the Empire only really flaired up in the last days of the first world war, and was more a case of people trying to figure out what to do once the Empire was gone. Even into 1917 there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in terms of unrest

    • Leonardo Espino
      Leonardo Espino ๋…„ ์ „ +1

      @Jack Walters well true but In a way it still remained there. Not necessarily with the Hungarians or Czechs but with the Serbs. Also the huge mixes of other minorities in different parts of Austria Hungary also lead to nations wanting some regions of the empire. For example when Austria annexed Bosnia Herzegovina, it angered Serbia who envisioned a grater Serb empire at the expense of Austria Hungary as it had a significant Serb population. The Romanians wanted parts of Hungarian Transylvania as it was home to a significant minority of Romanian people and the Italians wanted the Tyrol as it hold Italians there. Plus it also showed that because there was a huge mix of nationalities there wasnโ€™t a common thing to unite the people of the empire other than the emperor. It had the problem that the former Yugoslavia had: too many nationalities or constituencies that had different needs or view of doing things and when there itโ€™s a unifying leader to hold the country together then it breaks apart. The reason why it took WW1 to break the empire was because after the death of Franz Joseph, Austria was militarily weak relying exclusively on German aid to hang on and also because it was also economically weak to continue the fighting. In 1848 Austria was also weak but what helped them was the military success of Radetzky in Italy, the crushing of the rebels in Vienna and the intervention of Russia against the Hungarians. Had Radezky failed against the Italians and the Hungarians successfully won their rebellion then the empire could have been broken easily. Yugoslavia had a leader, on Tito, who brought them military success against the Germans in WW2 but who also understood the complexities of running a state where power was being shared not because it was imposed over by one nationality but agree upon by the nationalities who existed there. Once Tito died and his successor clearly started to favor the people of he was part of, then it began to break apart. Austria by making early concessions knew that it was just playing for time. Even Karl knew that the reforms he wanted to implement wouldnโ€™t keep the empire together because he was not coming on a place of strength as Franz Joseph was with military successes in Italy, Vienna, and Hungary in 1848. So 1848 showed that the Achilles heel of Austria wasnโ€™t the weak military but itโ€™s ethnic composition

      @L Romano While I am not a European, I can surely say that one can't call it Italian "reunification", as Roman Empire was bigger, more diverse and more inclusive than the kingdom of Italy. Emperor Trajan and Hadrian were borned in Iberia, while Aurelian was borned in Illyria. There are several other examples as well.
      And please don't misinterpret my message, while Italy undoubtedly has a greater claim to Roman Empire than others, it would be foolish to call it an Italian "reunification" in that sense.

      @madhu rawat you're not european and you shouldn't waste time with you... the term Italy already existed at the time of our roman empire and just because size is not the same doesn't mean the different city you control is the same same thing as saying that current England is not England because the one in the past controlled several lands and so it goes is de facto reunification

    • madhu rawat
