As with Germany, there was no "Italy" at the time of the Revolutions of 1848, but a hodge-podge of states. The most important were the kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the south, the Papal States and Tuscany in the center, and the kingdom of Sardinia in the island and in the northwest (the bulk of the kingdom actually consisted of what is now the Piedmont region). Furthermore, Austria directly ruled the so-called Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, which included the rich northern regions around Milan and Venice. All these states were absolute ...

As 1848 began, liberals in France awaited the death of King Louis Philippe, expecting a new revolution after his death. As it happened, he did not die until 1850, after the expected post-mortem revolution had burned itself out. As a quid pro quo for the return of the Bourbons after the Battle of Waterloo, the people had been given a charter of liberties, now dubiously maintained. Even though France had a free press and trial by jury, only landholders w ...

After the revolution, the new provisional government, called the Second Republic, was wildly disorganized. After roughly a month, conservatives began to oppose the new government, using the rallying cry order, which the messy new republic admittedly lacked. In the year 1848, 479 newspapers were founded. There was also a 54% decline in the number of businesses in Paris, as most of the wealthy had left; there was a corresponding decline in the luxury trade and credit was unobtainable. National workshops of the "Rig ...

The French middle class watched the changes in Britain with interest. When Britain's Reform Act of 1832 extended enfranchisement to anybody paying £10 or more per month (previously the vote was restricted to landholders), France's free press took interest. While the working class was perhaps slightly better off than Britain's, nominal laws against child labor were routinely flouted, and unemployment threw skilled workers down to the proletariat level. The year 1846 saw a financial crisis and bad harvests, and the following year saw a ...

Even if the war between Austria and Piedmont stopped in August, the situation was still uncertain: Venice was holding ground against Austria, Sicily was fighting against king Ferdinand II of the two Sicilies and there were new insurrections in cities such as Bologna. The most important of these new insurrections was in Rome, where on November 15, 1848 Pellegrino Rossi, Prime Minister of the Papal States, was assassinated. While a crime wave was avoided, no one, the Pope included, took charge, and the Pope fled to the fortress o ...

Politically, some wealthy and educated Italians wished for liberal government and the removal of Austria from the North-East. However, this was controversial among those groups of people, with moderates and radical positions both contributing to the debate. Even if both the moderates and the radicals agreed about the expulsion of Austria, the moderates were hoping to form a confederation of kingdoms with a liberal constitution (for example, the cleric Vincenzo Gioberti advocated a confederation headed by the pope), while the radicals were ca ...
