How was France affected by the 1848 Revolutions?

     

Hunger and unfairness started the 1848 revolution. People were not treated equally at all. The kings and the nobles thought they were gods and the poor are just slaves working for them. The poor were to pay a lot of the taxes which they can’t afford and if they didn’t pay the taxes there will be severe punishment. Unemployment grew which cause to weaken the economy of the country. Banks started to collapse and they were not able to work. Also it affected agriculture production which led to rising food prices and cause economic problems and eventually people won’t be able to eat and the country will suffer with starvation. The 1830 revolution caused Charles X to lose his power from France and Louis Philippe took the throne. Louis called himself “People’s king” and he wanted his people to think that he is trying his best to make them happy. He tried ruling as a constitutional monarch and he made many political parties. He tried his best that no party would go against him. After a while the Royalists and the Republicans started to dislike him as well as all other sections of society which cause him to lose his throne.
