Explain to me the "Revolutions of 1848"

>Preface: I know nothing except that's when Marx wrote his manifesto and it somehow ties in
What were these revolutions and how did they affect the late 19th, early 20th and to an even greater extent the cold war & modern era?

bumping for interest

use google, retard.

Revolutions podcast is covering 1848 right now, go check it out

>Marx wrote his manifesto and it somehow ties in
Oh god, please no. Yes, Marx did write his manifesto at the time, but it did not become popular for another two decades and had no part in the revolutions.

Now that's out of the way:
It was a bunch of classical liberal (that's moderate libertarian for you burgers with your fucked up political terminology), democratic/republican (as in, anti-monarchist) and partly nationalist (=against supranational empires in eastern europe, against the particularized local states in germany) uprisings, usually with different local aims but altogether similar enemies. They mostly failed against the military of the various monarchist states (except in france where they elected another bonaparte who promptly became emperor later). Long term it did cause the monarchs to transition to a more democratic system and enact constitutional rule or local self-government in some places.

I can tell you about the 1848 rebellion in Ireland.
Basically a handful of guys had a skirmish with some police in the middle of nowhere and that was it. But the ringleader was still executed. It became jokingly known as the "Battle of O'Leary's cabbage patch", for reasons I'm sure you can guess. The reasons for the revolt are tied to the potato famine, which was ongoing at the time. The most notable outcome of what was originally only a small skirmish is the current Irish flag. Supposedly it was sewn by a group of sympathetic French republican women and sent to Ireland when they heard about the revolt.

It was the rise of nationalism and the beginnings of socialist movements.

The Manifesto in question was written by Herr Doktor Marx under contract to the Central Committee of the League of the Just, who were solely responsible for its content and publication.

Correction: His death sentence was commuted to exile to Tasmania and he eventually returned to Ireland. I remembered that part wrong.

God punished Louis Phillipe for his treason.

Bump

this.
the failure of the revolutions caused a wave of immigration from Europe (mostly Germans but also Hungarians, Czechs, Irishmen, and Poles) to New World countries like the U.S., where Texas and Midwestern cities were the main receivers (and in the latter, they helped develop socialism among the urban working class. this is why Milwaukee had several socialist mayors)

Best 1848 revolution coming through.

>rag-tag army of Hungarians and foreign volunteers
>took two years and the combined military efforts of two European superpowers to stop them
>18 years later, Hungary still manages to force the Austrian monarchy to transform into Austria-Hungary, one of the most analhurtedness-inducing political entity ever to exist

I don't know much about the others, But the revolution in France was not as you said.
There was a strong socialist movement there in addition to the republican one, which was itself divided between "republicans of the day before" and "of the day after".
Liberals and nationalists did not really exist as such there.
The Parisians brought down the monarchy and wanted a social republic. The republicans created a provisional government and decided to call for quick elections under universal suffrage. The idea was to take away the power of the parisian people over the new republic it created and to give it to the rural majority which was conservative. Even monarchists supported that idea. They all thought they could get a favorable balance that way, but some guy named Bonaparte came and all the ignorant peasants, recognizing the name, voted for him.


Marx was not influential among the socialists of those days but his manifesto is relevant to what happened.

As much as I agree that Austrian foolishness had to be stopped in some way and that monarchy had to be reformed by force if needed,
I'm still glad Hungary got what it deserved for further destabilizing the monarchy with their autistic primitive nationalism.

>do a pretty good job at rebelling against Austria-Hungary
>try to establish self as independent republic
>realize that you'll need a coalition with the other Italian resistance
>the rest of Italian resistance falls apart and fucks you over
Most underrated 1848 revolution

>Revolution is like the plague

>The old ordrer must be defended!

>Wickedness must be stamped out.

Fuck off, faggot

I will never understand all this Hungary hate that Veeky Forums has. Hungary didn't have any sin that any of the other nations of the Austrian monarchy didn't have and this includes autistic primitive nationalism. And if anything, Hungary was actually trying to keep the Monarchy in one piece; in 1914, the majority of the Hungarian parliament was very much against going to war.

>be ban of Croatia
>supporter of croatian independence from austrian hegemony
>seek to achieve this by supporting austrian interests
>revolutions of 1848 happen
>raise 40 thousand men
>could have achieved independence for your country but instead be a cuck and crush anti austrian revolts in northern Italy and hungary
>have almost all of your country's rights stripped by the emperor because croatia was technically a part of rebellious hungary
>after the revolutions keep getting cucked and allow mass germanization

Somehow doing all this makes you a national hero.

>Let the boys in blue have their way with these "fermenters of revolution".

Socialism was the way of the future after democracy has been established, it was the next step. it rose in Europe first. But was violently and efficiently quelled and subdued. It found more success in countries with weaker authority though.

it's to do with the fact that Magyars were German-tier chimps since literally the moment they arrived in Europe.

If it was for Kossuth there would be no Croatia at all. They gained in all fields after Jelacic’s deeds even if they lost even more authority on the territory after the nagodba. The best thing that could happen for the Croats were the Serbs and their stupidy in not accepting a federal union and going for the muh orthodoxy muh land. Now they have a ethnic pure state.

Actually Hungarians were more dumb the he was when you think about it

If they applied to Jelacic's terms about Croatian independance or whatever they wouldnt get crushed by him and both Hungary and Croatia would split from HM

Antimonarchists threw a shitfit

Communists are better than other people

It's complicated, Marx was a minnow little faggot no one cared about in 1848, the more left wing movements were dominated by others like Proudhon

What I dont get is how this was spontaneous and international all during the same year?

Sympathy strikes are a thing, this is their foundation. Or maybe it's the pedophile vampire globalist demons
