The Revolutions of 1789, 1830, and 1848
First Steps Toward Democracy
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$1.40
The French Revolution of 1789, in which the bourgeoisie, the peasants and the
workers challenge the king, the nobility, and the church, sets in motion the march
toward democracy, the emancipation of the “little” people. In spite of the triumph
of the counterrevolution in 1815 and a new, romantic and conservative spirit of
the times, the democratization continues to make progress in 1830 and 1848 via
reforms and new revolutions, at least in Western Europe . . .
