1848 Revolt

The 1848 Revolt, often called the Spring of Nations, was a series of interconnected revolutionary uprisings across Europe. People demanded political democracy, national independence, and improved social conditions. Factors included widespread dissatisfaction with monarchies, economic hardship, and the influence of liberal ideas. Major events occurred in France, Germany, Italy, and the Austrian Empire, leading to temporary reforms and shifts in power. While many revolts were suppressed, they inspired future movements for democracy and national unity, marking a significant moment in the collapse of old monarchical regimes and the spread of modern nationalist aspirations.
