France July Revolution 1830 An 1830 French election revealed even greater opposition in the chamber, and Charles again dismissed it as he and Polignac published the "July Ordinances," which established strong press controls and reduced the electorate. As usual, the Parisians revolted and blockaded the streets on July 27, 1830; among those manning the barricades were army units and former members of the National Guard disbanded in 1827. Charles acted too late in annulling the new ordinances and dismissing Polignac (July 30, 1830); the minister was arrested and condemned to life imprisonment and later (1836) amnestied. www.onwar.com /aced/data/foxtrot/france1830.htm   (352 words)

Belgian Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Episode of the Belgian Revolution of 1830, Egide Charles Gustave Wappers (1834), in the Musée d'Art Ancien, Brussels The Belgian Revolution had many causes: mainly, the treatment of the French-speaking Catholic Walloons in the Dutch-dominated United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the difference of religion between the Belgians and their Dutch king. In a sense, the Belgian Revolution was a Walloon revolution, of a French-speaking upper and middle class that exchanged Dutch hegemony for Walloon hegemony. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Belgian_Revolution   (1157 words)

Paris and the Revolution of 1830, coins of Charles X and Louis Philippe An invasion of Algeria in May 1830, aimed at distracting the population from domestic problems, was unsuccessful in that task. In the face of this fear Charles staged a widely anticipated coup d’etat, asserting that the Chamber of Deputies was dissolved, freedom of the press was curtailed, the electoral law was reformed and an electoral college was called for September (Guizot 278). In Paris the barricades went up and “by the afternoon of the 29th (May 1830) the insurgents, bewildered by the completeness of their success, found themselves in control of the whole city.” (Horne 222) The king had lost control of the city and was unable to regain it. home.eckerd.edu /~oberhot/paris-siege-1830.htm   (699 words)

Institute for Social Ecology - Third Revolution Volume 2: Preface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) The revolutions of 1830, 1848, and 1871 in Paris were, in great part, extensions of the Revolution of 1789 to 1794, which is also how many of their participants regarded them. In 1789 and 1830, the militants were primarily artisans, especially journeymen, and by trade were often carpenters, masons, furniture makers (particularly in the Saint-Antoine district of Paris), and printers, rather than factory workers. Prior to the 1830 Revolution in France, the leading utopian socialists, including Saint-Simon and Fourier, vigorously opposed insurrections and eschewed a class analysis that focused on conflict between the working class and the bourgeoisie. www.social-ecology.org /article.php?story=20031118103140463&mode=print   (6231 words)

July Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The French Revolution of 1830, also known as the July Revolution, was a revolt by the middle class against Bourbon King Charles X which forced him out of office and replaced him with the Orleanist King Louis-Philippe (the "July Monarchy"). Léon Cogniet, Scenes of July 1830, a painting alluding to the July revolution of 1830.

The Congress of Vienna The second goal, to restore "legitimate" or traditional governments to power and to prevent political revolutions, or to maintain the status quo met with partial success in the short term, but was bound to fail in the long term because it opposed the irresistable forces of historical change resulting from modernization. In 1821, revolutions in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and in Spain were thrown back through intervention by Austrian and French armies respectively. Revolution in South and Central America against Spanish rule also succeeded, because of the oceanic separation and the refusal of the British to support European intervention. www2.sunysuffolk.edu /westn/congvienna.html   (836 words)

Revolution and Authority: 1830-1837 (Chapter 3) He also shared Carlyle's sense that they were living in an era of revolution, that "the times are pregnant with change; and that the nineteenth century will be known to posterity as the era of one of the greatest revolutions of which history has preserved the remembrance" (230). Carlyle perceived the fine irony that the glut of cloth produced by the industrial revolution would not serve to clothe the nation but to strip it naked, that weavers of cloth were being pushed toward sansculottism. About 1830, his insistence that literature will be the new liturgy receives an ironic twist when he begins saying that "journalism," which he always despised, rather than "literature," is the new religion. www.victorianweb.org /authors/carlyle/vandenbossche/3a.html   (2828 words)

H-France Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) The first is specifically historiographical: that the Revolution(s) of 1830 must be seen as a major turning point in modern history not because of what happened in France during les trois glorieuses, but because of the enormous effervescence the Parisian events uncapped throughout France and the continent during the five years that followed. The official revolution was thus a ho-hum affair, but the political culture it spawned amounted to a new and revolutionary mix that essentially charted the competing political discourses of modern western society. Moreover, although Lyon's press revolution of the early 1830s was an important beginning, it pales in comparison with the enormous oppositional public sphere created by the ideological press (again led by Paris) in the 1840s. www.uakron.edu /hfrance/reviews/johnson2.html   (1321 words)

French Revolution --  Encyclopædia Britannica Hence the conventional term “Revolution of 1789,”; denoting the end of the ancien régime in France and serving also to distinguish that event from the later French revolutions of 1830 and 1848. The term is used by analogy in such expressions as the Industrial Revolution, where it refers to a radical and profound change in economic relationships and technological conditions. Underlying the American Revolution were unresolved abuses by the British Parliament and Crown, as specified in the Declaration of Independence. www.britannica.com /eb/article-9035357   (854 words)

CHAPTER XVI. - THE MOVEMENTS OF 1830. In comparison with the Revolution of 1789, the movement which overthrew the Bourbons in 1830 was a mere flutter on the surface. For some months before the Revolution of July, 1830, the antagonism between the Belgians and their Government had been so violent that no great shock from outside was necessary to produce an outbreak. The death of Pope Pius VIII., on November 30, 1830, and the consequent paralysis of authority within the Ecclesiastical States, came at an opportune moment; assurances of support arrived from Paris; and the Italian leaders resolved upon a general insurrection throughout the minor Principalities on the 5th of February, 1831. www.globusz.com /ebooks/Europe/00000027.htm   (11980 words)

Heinrich Heine and the July Revolution of 1830 In 1830, when he heard the news of the July Revolution, he was overjoyed; he truly believed in the cause of the revolution, and thought that it would succeed. The Revolution of 1848, which overthrew the July Monarchy, did not come as a true surprise to Heine, since he was aware of the unrest that had been building among the lower classes, and he could not have avoided noticing the food shortages and general misery that were again setting in throughout France. Heine was therefore disillusioned by both the 1830 and 1848 Revolutions, as he felt that they did not in effect change the lives of the people, at least not in the ways or to the extent that he believed necessary. www.nthuleen.com /papers/141papereng.html   (4350 words)

Comte and Dunoyer Chap. 7 After the revolution of 1830, having been called to a number of public duties and imagining myself not unable to be of some use to the people in public affairs..., experience soon dissipated the illusion that I had created for myself. After having participated in liberal politics on and off during the 1820s Dunoyer became politically active again on the eve of the 1830 Revolution when Charles X abruptly sacked the Martignac government and replaced it with the arch-reactionary government of Polignac and introduced the inevitable new censorship of the press. After the 1830 Revolution the vestiges of the ancien régime had been swept away and new challenges faced a new generation of liberals. homepage.mac.com /dmhart/ComteDunoyer/Ch7.html   (9085 words)

Frédéric Bastiat (1801-50).   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) The French Revolution of 1789 was such a monumental marker in history that it is easy for the casual historian to forget that there were two other noteworthy revolutions that were to unfold in France during the 19th century: that of 1830 and that of 1848. This act was enough to cause the sleeping dogs of revolution, which in France had been so much exercised, to stir; Parisians came to the streets with their guns. The revolution of 1830 "was largely the work of the Parisian middle class,"9 the bourgeoisie; it was over almost as quickly as it began. www.blupete.com /Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Bastiat.htm   (3682 words)

war and social upheaval: industrial revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) The industrial revolution powered by the steam engine soon expanded into other areas, but it was the manufacture of textiles that launched it. The one question that is often ignored is whether the conditions under which the children labored in the new factories of the industrial revolution were a decline or improvement in their condition. One of the negative consequences of the industrial revolution was that the employment of large numbers of people were destroyed by the new technologies and machines. histclo.hispeed.com /essay/war/war-ir.html   (4184 words)

Louis-Philippe In July 1830, another pro-republican revolution broke out, but the legislature preferred a constitutional monarchy - Louis-Philippe, as duke of Orléans, was offered the crown in exchange for honouring a charter that limited his powers. In 1830, France was torn between various rival factions: royalists (who supported the old monarchy), Orléanists (who backed the new monarchy), republicans, and Bonapartists. Famine, unemployment, and a financial crisis provoked the revolution of 1848, obliging Louis-Philippe to abdicate. www.chateauversailles.fr /en/270_Louis-Philippe.php   (505 words)

Street Scenes in Paris in the 19th Century: A Brown University Library Exhibit Although Louis-Philippe was forced to flee to England, the revolution eventually proved to be unsuccessful due to irresolvable differences between the radicals and the bourgeois. A return to the Republican symbolism of the Revolution of 1789, the icon of the “Arbres de liberté”, or “liberty trees” was resurrected during the Revolution of 1848 in an attempt to unify the interests of the people and those of the radical Republicans. During the Revolution of 1848, the Garde was in charge of protecting Parisian institutions from the escalating violence and rioting, and were sometimes forced to destroy weapons to ensure the capital's security. www.brown.edu /Facilities/University_Library/exhibits/paris/political.html   (1534 words)

T.S. Ashton on The Industrial Revolution by Alexander Marriott -- Capitalism Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Ashton then sets himself to discredit the idea that individualism was on the rise in the industrial revolution, his proof being than employers and workers tried to establish cartels throughout the period and that fraternal societies were on the rise. There are today on the plains of India and China men and women, plague-ridden and hungry, living lives little better, to outward appearance, than those of the cattle that toil with them by day and share their places of sleep at night. There is an objection to saying, "the disasters of industrial revolution," for it is an obvious attack upon the processes of industry. www.capmag.com /article.asp?ID=3480   (2120 words)

The Napoleonic Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) Even while Napoleon reconciled the ideas of the Revolution with some from the Bourbon monarchy, he consolidated the work of the Revolution in putting an end to the complex of institutions which constituted the ancien regime. A fourth aspect of the social revolution was the improvement in the legal status of the peasants, a natural corollary of the breakdown of feudal privileges. It retained the land settlement of the Revolution, equality before the law, equality of taxation, personal liberty, freedom of the press and of religion, the Legion of Honor, the court system, and the Napoleonic nobility. mars.acnet.wnec.edu /~grempel/courses/wc2/lectures/napoleon.html   (2528 words)
