Europe 170 years ago today: Restoring the Old Order (28 Aug 1849) https://buff.ly/2PhYFaD The French capture of Rome effectively brought an end to the revolution of 1848 in Italy, allowing Austria to reassert its traditional dominance in the north in August. At the same time, Russian intervention helped Austria crush the Hungarian rebellion while Prussia stamped out the last remnants of republicanism in Germany. #europe #history #welovehistory #map #1840s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1849 #august #august28 #austrianempire #germanconfederation #europeanhistory #frenchempire #prussia #hungarianhistory #russianempire #prussia #yearofrevolutions #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Világos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1so9-PABHq/?igshid=1bqmcu51khi3i

Europe 171 years ago today: June Days (23 Jun 1848) https://buff.ly/2KxtHrU The apparent success of the European revolutions belied the divisions between the city-based reformers, who desired everything from moderate reforms to the complete overthrow of the current systems of government, and the general population, who were often traditionalists. Thus when the new French Republic implemented universal male suffrage, the people elected a conservative government. Shocked, the urban workers and radicals took to the streets of Paris in June but were crushed by the National Guard. The monarchies of Europe took note - if even France could rein in its revolutionaries, so could they. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1840s #19thcentury #victorianera #victorian #1848 #austrianempire #europeanhistory #frenchhistory #germanconfederation #yearofrevolutions #june #june23 #russianempire #ottomanempire #yearrevolutions #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCmPQAAF4m/?igshid=7fbi1h2n5zkb

Europe 170 years ago today: Alliance of the Three Kings (26 May 1849) https://buff.ly/2HPV1xG Prussia responded swiftly to the uprisings in Germany, crushing rebellions in Saxony and the Prussian Rhineland. With its supporters cowed and no army to defend them, the National Assembly crumbled. Prussia now set about restoring order in Germany on its own terms, beginning by forming an alliance with its fellow kingdoms of Saxony and Hanover. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1849 #austrianempire #rhineland #europeanhistory #germanconfederation #germanhistory #hanover #may #may26 #prussia #russianempire #saxony #19thcentury #victorianera #yearofrevolutions #yearrevolutions #maps #welovehistory #historyteacher #historybuff #todayinhistory #historygeek #historynerd #historytoday #worldhistory (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx68BdPgG1a/?igshid=hu9f1he24hoa

Europe 170 years ago today: May Uprisings (09 May 1849) https://buff.ly/2PTVcf6 In Germany, the National Assembly in Frankfurt had produced a constitution for a new German Empire with King Frederick William IV of Prussia as its Emperor. However Frederick William rejected the role while only the smaller German states proved willing to adopt the constitution, provoking a new wave of revolutions in support of the National Assembly. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1840s #1849 #austria #bavaria #europeanhistory #france #frankfurt #germanconfederation #germanempire #germanhistory #austrianempire #may #may9 #prussia #austriahungary #yearofrevolutions #yearrevolutions #maps #revolutions #welovehistory #historytoday #todayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd (at Frankfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxO70KOAv6I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kxgtyyvy7vdo

Europe 169 years ago today: Vienna Uprising (29 Oct 1848) http://omniatlas.com/maps/europe/18481029/ Having imposed peace on the Sardinians, Austria now turned to crush the revolution in Hungary - even though that country was asking for reforms not independence. The population of Vienna sympathized with the Hungarian cause and flew into revolt, expelling the Habsburg imperial court from the city and forcing Austrian troops to hurry back to besiege their own capital. Eventually the Empire prevailed, retaking Vienna while beating back the pursuing Hungarians. #europe #history #welovemaps #1840s #1848 #austria #austrians #croatia #europeanhistory #france #britain #hungary #maps #october #october29 #romania #russia #sicily #turkey #twosicilies #wallachia #yearofrevolutions (at Budapest, Hungary)
