Revolution in France,1830 and 1848
Charles X’s attempt to enforce repressive ordinances touched off a rebellion (July 27–30) that gave Louis-Philippe his long-awaited opportunity to gain power. The revolution that brought Louis-Philippe to power constituted a victory for the upper bourgeoisie over the aristocracy; the new ruler was titled Louis-Philippe, king of the French, instead of Philip VII, king of France.
Revolution in Poland, On November 29, 1830
In sympathy with the revolution in France, a popular outbreak occurred at Warsaw. The Polish army took part with the people. the Poles fought for their cause with desperation and heroism. The main Polish army, under General Skrzynecki, met with a crushing defeat on May 26th at Ostrolenka. Russians suppressed the Polish Government and culture even more harshly after the revolt failed.
1830 Revolution in Italy
Between 1820 and 1830 there was a rise in nationalistic views among Italians. Many of them started revolutions hoping that it would lead to the unification of Italy. However, the revolutions of the 1820s and 1830s failed to reach that objective. Many Italians regarded themselves as being from their state. For example, people from Sicily were known as Sicilians and people from Tuscany were known as Tuscans, they weren’t recognized as Italians. This was not good for unification as there was very little interaction between the states since they were culturally different. The Italian Revolution was stamped out by Austrian troops within a couple of months.
