The Road to Revolution

Description
1848 was the year the old order cracked. Across the continent, barricades were built in Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Milan, Budapest, and Prague. Monarchs fled their capitals, constitutions were proclaimed, and for a few fleeting months it seemed that liberty, nationhood, and social justice might triumph over dynastic rule.
Yet just as quickly, the dream was drowned in blood. Armies returned to the streets, parliaments were dispersed, and revolutions collapsed under the weight of division and repression. But the defeat of 1848 was not the end-it was the beginning of modern Europe. Feudal structures were dismantled, constitutions took root, and the ideals of nationalism, liberalism, and socialism entered political life as permanent forces.
This book tells the full story of 1848 in vivid detail, tracing the cascade of revolutions from their origins in hunger and political discontent to their suppression and long afterlives. It is a story of triumph and tragedy, of barricades and battlefields, of martyrs, exiles, and dreams deferred. Above all, it is the story of a year that changed Europe forever.
