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.

I hope you enjoy the new video! Quite a lot going on in 1848 - I count 4 abdications, 4 wars, and somewhere around 20 revolutions. And don't blame me if you end up humming the Radetzky March for the rest of the day! Thank you to our Patreon supporters, who voted for this topic.

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.

@@alexzero3736 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.

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 hadn’t failed, the immigrants would of most likely not immigrated to the US.

Immigration to the US in general before the Civil War just fueled tensions as more and more territories asked to be incorporated as US states. The point of dispute was whether these new states should be either banned from keeping up slavery or should be allowed to vote on it. Next decade you get Bleeding Kansas and then a bunch of butt hurt southerners think they can take on the industrial might of the north.

The fact that almost nobody knows the following is equally shameful. History of white slaves: Well over one million whites were enslaved in North Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries, most of them abducted and sold by Muslim pirates. Africans were raiding Europe for slaves for hundreds of years. The school system has totally erased this fact from history. Of course white people were enslaved in other parts of Africa too, and across the world for centuries. Including in North America where white "servants" were shipped to the colonies by the thousands. Slavery in America didn't begin in 1619. White children were being kidnapped and sold into servitude in the colonies before that. And of course slavery existed in the Americas for hundreds of years prior to Europeans ever setting foot there. Indian tribes all practised slavery. Slavery persisted in non-western countries long after it had been abolished in the west. Slavery was an accepted institution in Africa and Asia for millennia, and it seems to have never occurred to any of these societies that there might be something wrong with the practise. And of course the African slave trade was mostly furnished by Africans capturing other Africans and selling them into bondage. The African slave trade was abolished by the west, not by Africa. It was abolished by the west against the objections of the non-western world. Slavery remained legal in parts of Africa well into the 20th century.

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 - Józef Bem, distinguished himself in particular. Meanwhile Ludwik Mierosławski, after leading the unsuccessful Greater Poland Uprising (that's the one briefly mentioned by the Germanized name of the region's capital Poznań at 14:32), fought in Palermo and then in Baden and the Palatinate.

@@rennor3498 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/Poznań (German: Großherzogtum Posen; Polish: Wielkie Księstwo Poznańskie) 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 Mierosławski, 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. 😉 Fun fact: two American Civil War colonels (eventually brigadier generals) of the Union army: Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski and Józef Kargé were Polish veterans of the uprisings in Greater Poland in the 1840s (Krzyżanowski took part in that flopped one in '46, although some sources mistakenly claim he fought in '48).

I love the use of maps and highlighting when you mention a new country, and also the lines connecting points of revolt. 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!

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.

This channel is the only one that I've actually gone on patreon for just to watch a video early. Something about this content feels like the perfect blend of independent creation and the history documentaries that used to show on TV when I was younger. That's not to say other channels are bad, not by any means. But these videos in particular have some sort of secret ingredient. The Napoleon series always left me wanting more.

I have learnt so much from the napoleon series, and when I tell friends that he invaded Russia and marched into Moscow they can not believe it. It’s brilliant to have a break from WW2 and cover this area in history, which ultimately shapes the countries we live in now. 10/10 one of the best history channels on KZfaq

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.

If we pay attention to long-term historical phenomena, we can say that the triad that is currently forming in Europe (neoliberalism/authoritarianism/conservatism) is a reaction to the democratic world with appreciation of workers that began to be created by the Revolutions of 1848. I say that before 2048, this accursed specter that haunts and impoverishes European societies economically, culturally and politically will have to be challenged in the streets.
