Europe Ablaze: The 1848 Revolutions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2022
- This is the story of the 1848 European revolutions, one of the most dramatic and significant moments in the history of the continent. Hungry workers and peasants joined forces with liberals and nationalists, and in a series of tumultuous events, toppled the French monarchy, and forced reforms across Italy, Germany, and the Austrian Empire. But the revolutionaries were divided between middle class liberals seeking limited reforms, and radicals and workers who wanted sweeping change. As they argued over political and economic reform, counter-revolutionary forces recovered their confidence, and gathered their strength for a brutal onslaught against Europe's revolutionaries.

I hope you enjoy the new video! Quite a lot going on in 1848 - I count 4 abdications, 4 wars, and somewhere around 20 revolutions. And don't blame me if you end up humming the Radetzky March for the rest of the day! Thank you to our Patreon supporters, who voted for this topic.

Thanks for your work, saying that your videos are incredible would be an euphemism. Thanks for your craftmanship, these are some of the best stuff on youtube.
As for the Radetzky March, while I recognize that it is pretty catchy, as an italian I don't think it will stick in my head :P
Absolutely and always
It is so great if u will found unknow photos of historical characters
What will the next video be on?
This was amazing! Amazing 🤩
Remember kids, if you get overthrown in a revolution...just head over to England!
Not anymore. The liberals of 1848 would be very upset about people being arrested for speech.
Advantages of already being a liberal constitutional monarchy (I am not English btw).

Bismarck playing the March of the Prussian infantry instead of making a statement is so incredibly ominous. That would be incredible to witness put to film
True!!!!
They understood theatrics back in those days
Great video. I do wish they had mentioned the 'forty-eighters'. A term used to describe the two million Germans who immigrated to the United States after Prussia had crushed the revolution back home. During the American civil war more then 200,000 of those German immigrants had joined the Union army and helped Lincoln secure two elections and victory in the battlefield. The grandchildren of those Germans would go on to fight their German cousins in world war 2, men like Eisenhower and Nimitz, whose lives would not have existed had there been no revolution in 1848.
Sicilians and Neopolitans also migrated to America in mass.
@@alexzero3736 very true. They, along with the millions of Germans and famished Irish, helped turn the tide during the civil war. More so then slavery or secession, the presence of millions of new liberal-minded voters in the North tipped the scale decisively in favor of the Union. I've always viewed the revolution of 1848 as being a direct cause of the civil war.
They must go back

@@EpichistoryTv Neigh, stank you Epic, Stank you.
The execution of Robert Blum on the 9th of November started a series of big events in German history on a 9th of November:
1918: Proclamation of the German Republic (the Weimar Republic)
1923: Hitlers failed Beer Hall Putsch
1938: Night of the broken glass
1989: Fall of the Berlin wall
All on a 9th of November. It is so much that the day is not a public holiday because it would be unclear whether it would be a day of celebration or of grief
Thanks for sharing that
Hitler's failed beer hall putsch should be celebrated because it delayed him coming to power.
BeWe, Robert Blum was executed in 1848. The Weimarer Republic was proclaimed 70 years later. After the first world war the King William II was kicked out of the country.
Why no both?
Celebrate during the day, mourn in the night
@@secretname4190 We actually do celebrate reunification! Just not on that day! Germany as it exists today officially united about a year after the Wall had fallen, on the 3rd of October 1990.
'When France sneezes, Europe catches a cold' what an awesome quote. Incredible video as always!
So inavding all those countries and planting ideas via unprecedented propaganda through the dominant force of military occupation is just called 'sneezing' now? lol
@@user-gq2ln3dg3zts called a metaphor, its subtle i know, even if the message really just means "when France acts, Europe reacts" in a fancier way
"get rich" is much better
"You get a revolution!" "You get a revolution!" "Everyone gets a revolution!"
Poland: YAAYYYYY
Europe: Oh, except you.
Poland: -_-
I really like the last quote of Bismarck in the video. Significant changes throughout history always sparked by ideas and speeches, but the deciding factor to make them reality were always iron and blood.
Bismarck's answer to the King's question of what action to take in Berlin, the Prussian Infantry March, or Prussian Glory tapped out on a piano. Epic, no pun.
Great job as always. Without a doubt this is the highest quality historical channel on youtube, this just puts a perfect finishing bow on the napoleon series!
But I'm still waiting for the stuff about Napoleons early career and his rise to power.
1848 was an awful year. Napoleon did more harm than good and basically destroyed Europe

The 1848 revolution had a huge impact in the United States. After the failure of the 1848 revolution, many Germans immigrated to the US and settled in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Most of the Midwest states were built my German immigrants. If the revolution hadn’t failed, the immigrants would of most likely not immigrated to the US.
Immigration to the US in general before the Civil War just fueled tensions as more and more territories asked to be incorporated as US states. The point of dispute was whether these new states should be either banned from keeping up slavery or should be allowed to vote on it. Next decade you get Bleeding Kansas and then a bunch of butt hurt southerners think they can take on the industrial might of the north.
Not to forget the role some of these German immigrants would play during the American Civil War. I'm pretty sure the student Carl Schurz who is mentioned in the video is the same Carl Schurz who would lead Union troops about one and a half decades later.
Yes, you are right. He served in the civil war but was also a u.s. Senator.
Also Australia. Many Chartists were exiled (‘transported’) from the UK to Australia, profoundly influencing Australian politics and character. By the end of the 19thC the Australian colonies could call themselves ‘the working man’s paradise’.
They must go back
Radetzyk, one of the few really strong military commanders we ever had. And he got a musical score from one of the best composers to ever live, no wonder you used it. It is really catchy.

As a Czech, I'm loving this. You are doing great job with putting all things to context. At schools, we learned all this mainly in the context of our country. You are doing a much better job than them.

Mike Duncan on the Revolutions Podcast did a great series on the 1848 Revolutions. One of my favorites was the New Years pact that the citizens of Milan made to quit smoking and gambling so as to deprive Austria of the taxes gained from it.
I get shivers everytime we see a new photograph from that time, to think of what innovation that was and how many historical event, major characters or even common people we didn't get to see. And those few moments that got immortalized make you breath the past.
It's so strange that this subject isn't that talked about when so many prominent figures from the rest of the century are brought up from the revolutions, Bismarck, Napoleon, Giuseppe Mazzini, Victorio Emanuelle, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Franz Joseph.
If we had a society that cared about the past then we would talk about it
Don't forget Marx and Engels, who wrote the Communist Manifesto directly in response to the 1848 revolutions.
Maybe your curriculum was different but here in cbse board india, we learnt all about the year of revolutions 1848, italian and German unification etc
@@fromhegel4036 People now a days contribute Marx and Engels to genocide and poorness. They don't care about what ideas and opinions they actually stood for. Sad.
It’s simple actually, it’s because today nationalism is attached to the far right (whereas it was attached to the left in the 19th century). Roughly speaking, people don’t want to say today that nationalism is a « good » thing.

That photograph of the Barricades in Rue Saint-Maur is amazing. An actual surviving photograph is able to communicate so much.
What I find interesting, a lot of things that people tried to make happen during revolutions of 1848-1849 happened rather conservatively about 20 years later:
1) Hungary gains equal status inside Habsburg monarchy in 1867
2) Italians defeat Austrians and unite the country in 1861 (1870 finished)
3) Denmark loses schleswig-holstein in 1864
4) Germany is united in 1871
5) France becomes a democratic republic after defeat in the war in 1871
Italians defeat Austrians you say? In which battle? :P
@@falc6125 battle of Solferino and second Italian war of independence. With the help of France of course, but that doesn't change the point.

@@alexo2235 well both wars win with help of other great power. In 1859 with help of France and during 1866 by help of Prussia. During both wars Italians would not be able win anything on thier own. 1866 campaign was even worst for them. As they loose both on sea and land with superior numbers.

Hope you'll do a biography series of Metternich, Talleyrand and Richelieu.
The fact that very few people remember this pivotal point in Western history is shameful. Great work!
Mostly because it's left ignored during school time...
The fact that almost nobody knows the following is equally shameful.
History of white slaves:
Well over one million whites were enslaved in North Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries, most of them abducted and sold by Muslim pirates. Africans were raiding Europe for slaves for hundreds of years. The school system has totally erased this fact from history.
Of course white people were enslaved in other parts of Africa too, and across the world for centuries. Including in North America where white "servants" were shipped to the colonies by the thousands.
Slavery in America didn't begin in 1619. White children were being kidnapped and sold into servitude in the colonies before that. And of course slavery existed in the Americas for hundreds of years prior to Europeans ever setting foot there. Indian tribes all practised slavery.
Slavery persisted in non-western countries long after it had been abolished in the west. Slavery was an accepted institution in Africa and Asia for millennia, and it seems to have never occurred to any of these societies that there might be something wrong with the practise.
And of course the African slave trade was mostly furnished by Africans capturing other Africans and selling them into bondage. The African slave trade was abolished by the west, not by Africa. It was abolished by the west against the objections of the non-western world. Slavery remained legal in parts of Africa well into the 20th century.
That’s by design

No they don't. Unless you went to the shittiest University on earth, or more likely you didn't go to Uni at all and are just parrotting everyone else that makes these claims on YT. This is a great overview but it doesn't even scratch the surface of more in depth history courses on this subject, especially in terms of analysis
Someone needs to connect the French Enlightenment, the Napoleonic Era, 1848, and WW1 together. The subversion and coopting of these revolutions is key to what leads us to WW1.

@@Randomdude112 He definitely has not
I love the use of maps and highlighting when you mention a new country, and also the lines connecting points of revolt. It helps show the context of the revolutions instead of causing them to seem isolated. Also, I am glad you showed the nameplate for every important figure whenever you mentioned them instead of only showing it the first time. This repetition of names really helps remember and differentiate between which figure was in which region, etc. I'll be showing your videos to my classes!
Mike Duncan has the absolute best and most thorough answer explanation of this conflict on his podcast called Revolution. I literally cannot give enough praise to how PHENOMENAL a job he did
An awesome video! However, I think it could be a series, going more in-depth and starting with 1830 (and the revolutions/uprisings in France, Belgium and Poland). I'm glad that you at least mentioned the November Uprising at 1:31.
You presented the Polish aspect of the revolutions of 1848 quite well. I'd like to add that Polish volunteers (many veterans of the November Uprising) joined practically all the other revolutions across Europe. They were particularly numerous in Hungary, including three generals. One of them - Józef Bem, distinguished himself in particular.
Meanwhile Ludwik Mierosławski, after leading the unsuccessful Greater Poland Uprising (that's the one briefly mentioned by the Germanized name of the region's capital Poznań at 14:32), fought in Palermo and then in Baden and the Palatinate.
You got that right. Jarosław Dąbrowski, a red veteran of the 1863 Polish uprising was the head of the Communard militias during the Paris Commune.
@Artur M. I am still working on my Bem video (I know, I haven't been the fastest, but oh well), it would be a great tie-in for this, but I'm not sure when it will be done, stay tuned tho. :) The script, maps and some assets are done at least.
@@milanseres9113 That's great news!
(Everyone, go check out Milán's channel, especially the video about Bem, and the one about Emperor Julian 'the Apostate'.)
What was the Greater Poland uprising all about? I mean, what did they achieve before they were defeated by the Prussians?
@@rennor3498 Well, in short, it was about fighting for independence (admittedly, not a realistic goal), or at least for greater autonomy of their region - with increased liberties; national and civic alike, which didn't seem that far-fetched, given the revolution raging all around. At the very least, the insurgents wanted all of the rights Poles were supposed to have, according to the Congres of Viena, fully respected. But in the end, it had the opposite effect; the Grand Duchy of Posen/Poznań (German: Großherzogtum Posen; Polish: Wielkie Księstwo Poznańskie) lost all of its autonomy and became a regular Prussian province. Later, harsh policies of Germanisation followed.
BTW in 1846 there already was a failed attempt at starting an uprising in Greater Poland, also led by Mierosławski, which sometimes is counted as one of the Greater Poland uprisings, making it 4 in total. The ones in 1807 and 1918 were actually successful, so that's a 50% rate, far better than uprisings in other partitions. 😉
Fun fact: two American Civil War colonels (eventually brigadier generals) of the Union army: Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski and Józef Kargé were Polish veterans of the uprisings in Greater Poland in the 1840s (Krzyżanowski took part in that flopped one in '46, although some sources mistakenly claim he fought in '48).
This channel is the only one that I've actually gone on patreon for just to watch a video early. Something about this content feels like the perfect blend of independent creation and the history documentaries that used to show on TV when I was younger. That's not to say other channels are bad, not by any means. But these videos in particular have some sort of secret ingredient.
The Napoleon series always left me wanting more.

Epic and great video with exceptional quality as usual. I have been reading the book “1848: Year of Revolution” written by Michael Rapport and I find this video very helpful for me to watch when reading the book for better understanding of the Revolutions of 1848.

Never disappoints. This topic is not covered as often as it should be. Great job
Absolutely masterful. I've always been interested in the events of that year, but it was so chaotic and in so many places at the same time that I never managed to get a solid picture of it in my mind. Now you've done that for me, and I can't thank you enough!!
So great to find an amazing history channel that covers the forgotten timelines of the 1700 - 1800’s. I have learnt so much from the napoleon series, and when I tell friends that he invaded Russia and marched into Moscow they can not believe it.
It’s brilliant to have a break from WW2 and cover this area in history, which ultimately shapes the countries we live in now.

so many young men and families died out during this time of wars. and then include ww1-2

Awesome video guys , one of the best history channels out there! The music and narration is so tense, thrilling.
It's a shame how after all that buildup the revolutions of 1848 did not live up to people's expectations , Bicksmark is right , many times speeches and small scale uprisings are not enough to garentee that reforms will come and more gruesome methods are needed as a lot of later reforms came as a result of war.
An Epic overview of the revolutions of 1848. Thanks for the clarity of the details that explains what an important years this was for European history.

If we pay attention to long-term historical phenomena, we can say that the triad that is currently forming in Europe (neoliberalism/authoritarianism/conservatism) is a reaction to the democratic world with appreciation of workers that began to be created by the Revolutions of 1848.
I say that before 2048, this accursed specter that haunts and impoverishes European societies economically, culturally and politically will have to be challenged in the streets.
@Muhammad (PressTVsupporter) If Islam was good the Middle East would NOT be sinking in shit. No religion should have any importance in shaping Politics, not even neoliberalism (which is a kind of fanaticism of men who have a lot of money and want to concentrate more money by enslaving free people as if they were Islamic mullahs and ayatollahs).
This is also what I suspect. But things will degrade much more until there will be a new revolution. I feel freedoms being eroded. Even small managers, with little power, got used to abusing this power and behave like absolutist monarchs ruling over serfs. Law is weak. People are scared and complacent.

Loved to hear the aftermath of Napoleons Era, I'm so engulfed by the 1800's that I've actually, started ordering books to do more research and eventually write my own book. I've got some perspectives on events which I haven't heard expressed before. Hope to deliver with the same quality and enchantment as Epic History TV, as you are simply the best there is at presenting History. Thank you, you have no idea how amazing you are!
Im reading a cool novel right now called Radetzky March that I bet you would enjoy. Set in late 1800s austro hungary
@@jacobrecht4099 I've heard the melody of the Radetzky March but didn't know there was a book! I'm already looking for a local vendor, thanks a bunch!
I really liked this video, it is explained in a very interesting way and, at least for me, it's always good to watch and hear something related to the XIX century, often abandoned compared to the XX.
I would just make a note: In minute 31:32 when there's the map with the unification dates of Germany and Italy, both have the 1871 year. In reality Italy unified ten years earlier, 1861. Thanks for this video.
Great vidéo !
I think you could have gone deeper into politics and the fights of each city but still a huge work BRAVO 👏 👏
Brilliant. The work explains tough time in the revolution of Europe which brought to changes in society, politics, and geopolitics in the whole continent.
One of the channel that sparks my curiosities about history. Great works! 🔥
As someone who had to play Radetzky's March in middle school band class. The nostalgia of hearing this piece was one thing. Learning it was the result of a military victory by a Veteran Austrian commander just made it all the sweeter.
But in the end Italy was unified anyway, while the mighty Austrian Empire would end 71 years later. Ride bene chi ride ultimo
@@carolinaalberdingi what does Italian unification have to do with my appreciation of Radetzkys March the musical piece ? 😂.
3:50 Best quote i have ever heard in my life
And for that quote and stance he got chased out of the country. Deservedly so
And then Karl Marx pops up somewhere
I’m really happy and exited when watching the video. Thank you Epic History TV for making such a great content 😀👍
Another brilliant vid 👏
"Feel the effects for decades to come" more like century's to come since it's alot of things from 1848 that is highly relevant today.
