  Revolutions of 1848 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were a series of revolutions which erupted in Sicily and then, further triggered by the Revolution of 1848 in France, soon spread to the rest of Europe.
The result was a wave of revolution sweeping across Europe and raising hopes of liberal reform as far away as India during 1848, where the rhetoric surrounding the Sepoy Rebellion took many cues from European events, as did its thorough repression.
Elsewhere in the United Kingdom, revolution was far from the minds of those in Ireland, struggling and dying through the Potato Famine (the exception being William Smith O'Brien's debacle in County Tipperary).

 The Revolutions of 1848: Essay by Mike White
he Revolutions of 1848 were a series of political and economic revolts that took place in Europe because of a recession and abuse of political power.
What sparked these revolutions was the second revolution in France, which drove Louis Philippe from his throne and brought in a provisional government dedicated to a democratic franchise and "national workshops" to reduce unemployment.
These revolutions all did one thing together; that the people did have the power to overtake the government and establish what they thought as the ideal government that was run by their constitution.

 Conclusions of the Revolutions of 1848 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ten years after the Revolutions of 1848, little had visibly changed, and many historians consider the revolutions a bloody failure.
But in 1848, the revolutionaries were idealistic and divided by the multiplicity of aims for which they fought -- social, economic, liberal, and national.
Germany was unified under the iron hand of Bismarck in 1871 after her 1870 war with France; Italy was unified in 1861 as the United States was split into two nations and exploding into internecine civil war.

Sperber’s book is an analysis of the European revolutions of 1848, not as a failed revolutionary movement of the 19th century, but the beginnings of a mass political movement throughout Europe.

As a result, the revolutions of 1848 were generally failures, and did not succeed in establishing any genuinely liberal or national states.
More importantly, after 1848, the middle classes largely ceased to be revolutionary, as they became increasingly concerned about the protection of their property against radical social and political movements.

 SparkNotes: Europe (1848-1871): The Revolutions of 1848 (1848)
The revolutions of 1848 were a "turning point in modern history that modern history failed to turn." Every one was an utter failure; though minor reforms emerged in the Germany provinces and in Prussia, the conservative regimes that canvassed Europe remained in power.
PARGRAPH The year 1848 marked the end of the so-called "concert of Europe" that had been defined after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 as a way to maintain the European balance of power by having the continent's major powers meet to resolve their differences and prevent aggression.
After 1848, the European powers seemed incapable of united action to maintain the status quo, probably because the revolutions of 1848 weakened the regimes in the eyes of their people.

 NWSA Journal--The Lid Comes Off: International Radical Feminism and the Revolutions of 1848   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
By the outbreak of the 1848 revolutions, scores of feminists in Europe and the United States read the same literature, shared a common discourse and set of expectations, and had woven close personal connections to each other.
During the revolutionary years of 1848 and '49, personal international contacts like Knight's were rare--they increased greatly when the revolutions failed in France and the Germanies and feminists from those societies went into exile in England and the United States.
This "year of revolution" has a feminist dimension, which can no longer be left out of accounts of its events, whether on the national or the international level.

WHEN the year 1848 broke upon Europe, everywhere men were waiting for the death of Louis Philippe, King of the French.
The story of 1848, as is told in this book, is one of the people recognizing the need for change, but in many cases not being influential enough either in terms of physical power or in terms of political power to affect the change for a long period of time.
Apparently, revolution rocked Europe from France to Hungary, sparing only Britain (although Robertson focuses on a very minor revolt in Ireland) and Russia (where it was way too oppressive to even think of a revolution).
