Rapport, Mike
1848, year of revolution - London Abacus 2008 - 48 p. : ill. (some col.), col. maps ; 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 47) and index.
In 1848, a violent storm of revolutions ripped through Europe. The torrent all but swept away the conservative order that had kept peace on the continent since Napoleon?s defeat at Waterloo in 1815?but which in many countries had also suppressed dreams of national freedom. Political events so dramatic had not been seen in Europe since the French Revolution, and they would not be witnessed again until 1989, with the revolutions in Eastern and Central Europe.
