Content: Friedrich Engels participated in the uprising in the region and was later joined by Karl Marx. The two became editors of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung. In March in Prussia, crowds of people gathered in Berlin with most of the fighting done by the working class and the students. Berlin was noted as having bloody streets because of the fighting- barricades made of cobblestones turned the streets into fortresses. The demonstrators presented their demands to the king. Taken by surprise,King Friedrich Wilhelm IV submitted verbally to all the demonstrators’ demands, including parliamentary elections, a constitution, and freedom of the press. Additionally, he vowed that “Prussia will merge itself into Germany forthwith.” On 13 March, an altercation between the army and the demonstrators left one person dead and many injured. In another large demonstration that took place on 18 March, people erected barricades, and in response, troops were deployed leaving hundreds dead. The king reassured to reorganise his government and approved arming the citizens.
