This was misleading, for the more industrial country was the less radical. The confusion did not necessarilyoriginate with Marx or other radicals.

Introduction “The tricolor republic now bears only one color, the color of the defeated, the color of blood.” 1 Karl Marx after the June Days uprising (Neue Rheinische Zeitung, 29 June 1848) As I am writing this opening paragraph, it is 160 years ago to the day that the French National Guard ended a bloody uprising among the Parisian workers. Sometimes labeled a ‘class war’2, the so-called ‘June Days’ uprising posited the urban working class against the Provisional Government of the French Second Republic. It shall become clear in the following chapters that this clash between the revolutionary regime and the masses which had been vital in its victory four months prior, ultimately represented the failure of that revolution, a revolution which made an end to the French monarchy, instated universal male suffrage for a short time and set off a wave of revolutions across the continent.

  • Aloysius Huber and May 15, 1848 New Insights Into an Old Mystery
    LOWELL L. BLAISDELL ALOYSIUS HUBER AND MAY 15, 1848 NEW INSIGHTS INTO AN OLD MYSTERY I One of the memorable days in the French revolution of 1848 occurred on May 15. Several extraordinary events happened on that date. The first was the overrunning of the legislative chamber by an unruly crowd. Next, and most important, a person named Aloysius Huber, after several hours had elapsed, unilaterally declared the National Assembly dissolved. In the resultant confusion, the legislators and the crowd dispersed. Third, shortly afterwards, an attempt took place at the City Hall to set up a new revo- lutionary government. It failed completely. As the result of these happen- ings, a number of people thought to be, or actually, implicated in them were imprisoned on charges of sedition. Damaging consequences followed. Even before that day, a conservative pattern had started to emerge, as revealed by the late-April national election returns and the squelching of working-class unrest at Limoges and Rouen. Paris' day of turmoil sharply escalated the trend. Even though no lives were lost, the dissolution of the legislature and the attempt, no matter how feeble, to launch a new regime, amounted to a violation of the national sovereignty. This greatly offended many in the legislature and among the general public. The anti-working-class current that had started to emerge, but which it might have been possible to absorb, quickly expanded into an ultra-conservative torrent. Very soon after May 15 the authorities began the systematic harassment of the clubs. Only a month later the National Workshops were shut down.

  • The French Second Empire an Anatomy of Political Power
    Cambridge University Press 0521808308 - The French Second Empire: An Anatomy of Political Power Roger Price Frontmatter More information THE FRENCH SECOND EMPIRE AN ANATOMY OF POLITICAL POWER This book is about a major historical figure, Napoleon III, and a political regime. It is both about great figures in history and the contexts–the political institutions and social networks – within which they were located. First the book examines ‘the circumstances and relationships that made it possible for a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero’s part’ (Karl Marx); how the disorder caused by the Revolution, and the introduction of male suffrage, enabled Louis-Napoleon Bona- parte to secure election as president of the Republic and subse- quently to launch a coup d’´etat. The book then considers the ways in which power was exercised by the new imperial regime, by analysing the institutions of state and the mechanisms through which these interacted with society. The eventual growth of opposition, reflecting alternative political loyalties, led Napoleon III to contemplate the transition from an authoritarian towards a more liberal rule, a process fraught with difficulties and social and political tension. Nevertheless, the es- tablishment of the Liberal Empire appeared to have secured the regime’s future; but at the point of success, the decision was taken to go to war against Prussia, which resulted in a catastrophic defeat and the destruction of Napoleon III’s empire. This is the most throughly researched book on the Second Empire in any language, which makes a contribution to our knowledge of a vitally important period of French history following the Revolution and the intense mid-century crisis.

In particular, it traces the development of an official policy of colonizing the overseas empire with French deportees. Approximately 10,000 individuals were deported within the French overseas empire as a result of colonization through deportation efforts during this period. Of these men and women, the vast majority had been implicated in crimes of protest or revolution. In fact, deportation decrees became a common official response to social and political troubles throughout greater France during the Age of Revolutions. Though little known, the history of deportation is the story of various interest groups negotiating within a political culture that valued three different goals, all of which spanned changes in government and governing ideology between the Revolution of 1789 and the Second Empire: (1) cleansing the metropole and colonies of revolutionary elements, (2) improving the economic situation of existing colonies, and (3) finding French men and women to serve as pioneers in new lands.

  • Downey, Matthew Palmerston, Bonapartism, and Public Opinion
    Palmerston, Bonapartism, and Public Opinion: 1851, 1858, and how Tension Allowed for Strength in the Anglo-French Relationship By Matthew Downey Supervised by Dr. Simon Devereaux A Graduating Essay Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements, in the Honours Programme For the Degree of Bachelor of Arts In the Department of History University of Victoria 28 April, 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 “Puerile, Theatrical, and Vain”: Bonapartism and British Popular Opinion 8 “And So Unreasonable!”: The Coup D’état of 1851 15 Political Theatre: The Orsini Affair of 1858 23 Continuing Anglo-French Relations: Tenable yet Precarious 31 Conclusion 37 Bibliography 40 1 Introduction There are perhaps no leaders of nineteenth-century Europe who shaped the nature of continental relations as profoundly as did Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, and Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston. Bonapartism, the ideological legacy of that man who embodied a frightening combination of deft imperial authoritarianism, swift military expansion, and revolutionary secular values, lived on as a spectre decades after the death of its central messianic figure.1 In the 1850s, at a time when Palmerston was at the zenith of his longstanding political career in which he essentially dictated British foreign policy, that spectre took on physical form when Louis Napoleon, nephew of the great Napoleon and president of the French Second Republic, staged a coup d’état and proclaimed himself Emperor Napoleon III of the Second French Empire. In Britain, this turn of events triggered great public anxiety, for while the French were always mistrusted in a general sense, the Bonaparte name carried with it a perceived threat of imperial challenge that could spell disaster for Britain’s overseas interests, perhaps the nation’s very survival.2 In the event, however, and somewhat paradoxically, the 1850s saw an unprecedented Anglo-French cooperation that defied public opinion in many ways.

  • French Revolution of 1848
    French Revolution of 1848 By: Felicity Bell & Sarita Cavazos Before Revolution Due to the Industrial Revolution, France in 1846 saw: ● Financial crisis ● Bad harvests ● Economic depression ● Poor railroad systems ● Peasant rebellions Fighting at the barricades, one of the peasant rebellions prior to the revolution. What set the stage for the Revolution? ● Because of political gatherings and demonstrations were outlawed in France, activities of the largely middle class opposition to the government began to hold a series of Banquets ● This campaign of the Banquets was intended to circumvent the government restriction on political meeting and provided a legal outlet for popular criticism of the regime. Also this campaign of the Banquets lasted until all political banquets were outlawed by the French Government. As a result the people revolted, helping unite the efforts of the popular republicans and the Liberal Orleanists, who turned their back on Louis Philippe( which was head of the state at the time). Events leading up to the Revolution ● Louis Philippe had several Liberal views. He called himself the “People’s King” and owed his existence to the will of the people. By the time of the Regime there was a lot of political parties in France such as constitutionalists, Royalists, Republicans, and BonaPartists. Louis tried to rule as a moderate so that he would have no party ruled against him. ● Tried to a rule a Constitutional Monarchy but failed which compelled him to abdicate the throne. While placing himself under as a Constitutionalists, which made the royalists and bonapartists to dislike him. ● Louis had an urge to also develop industries in France which led him earn a positions of the society.

  • Masters Thesis
    A Manifesto of Impossibilities? Workers, Politics, and the History of the Luxembourg Commission, February-May 1848 by Jason Thomas Hewer A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2019 Keywords: Louis Blanc, Luxembourg Commission, 1848 Revolution Copyright 2019 by Jason Thomas Hewer Approved by Ralph Kingston, Chair, Associate Professor of History Rupali Mishra, Associate Professor of History Christopher Ferguson, Associate Professor History Abstract The Luxembourg Commission was the response of the provisional government of France during the Revolution of 1848 to demands by workers of Paris that the government do something to help alleviate the harsh conditions under which they labored. The Commission was a step short of the full government ministry of progress that many workers called for. However, during the few months it existed, the Luxembourg Commission gave impetus to grassroots workers’ organization and successfully began to act as an arbitrator in disputes between workers and bosses. The elections of April 1848 were disastrous for worker candidates, and the Commission itself winked out of existence in May. Workers’ frustration led to them storming the National Assembly and successfully suspending it on May 15. An analysis of May 15 shows how volatile the allegiances of the National and Mobile Guards were on the day. Both the Luxembourg Commission and the journée of May 15 were sidelined in histories of the Revolution written during the nineteenth century because these items did not support the political narrative of the authors of these histories.

He remained in exile until the republic was reestablished in 1870. This thesis examines the works he published during the period, including the political pamphlet Napoléon le Petit, two poetry collections—Les Chȃtiments and Les Contemplations—and his magnum opus novel Les Misérables. Victor Hugo used these writings to remain politically active, even while in exile, by consistently promoting the cause of republicanism in France. His politically charged writings helped shape the course of French politics in the 1860s, ultimately contributing to the fall of the French Second Empire and the restoration of the Republic.
