Content: In 1848, an alliance of nationalist and liberal intellectuals gathered in Frankfurt and proclaimed a national assembly for all the German people. This hope for a German state is known as “The Springtime of the Peoples.” It proclaimed a German nation-state, which would be democratic. This movement was put down by the Austrian army. Many hoped Prussia would come to their aid, but they did not and many Germans felt betrayed. France Revolts Against Louis Philippe
In February 1848, barricades were once again erected. In France, like much of Europe at the time, there was a growing angst among the peasantry and the proletariat due to inequality. In France, the idea of revolution in France was patriotic. Louis Philippe had introduced some liberal reforms in the 1830s. This encouraged the socialist movement and extension of the franchise throughout France.
